IF IT IS  A SONNETT CARD they expressly say that you cannot instal 9.2.2
But you can have OS9.1 and OSX using there OSX extra software patch.

Ok first of the bat 9.2.2 will not load onto your "legacy" mac due to the
fact when the installer opens it looks and finds the machine I'D , if it
does not correspond with the ones it has then it will not install.
There is a work around for it if you want to play with your mac's id but it
comes down to is it worth the hassle for an extra bell or whistle ?

hi Guys
does anyone uses macos 922 successfully on a powermac 8500 or 9600 w/g4 card
in my case the installer for 922 refuses to install.i'm using macos91

re my enq regarding disk image not mounting:
i copied the disk image onto the desktop (from the cd) then stuffit &
after unstuffit with stuffit expander
result the image appeared mounted & i was able to retrieve/copy most of
the files to another hd, plus installed the included application
successfully(toast tried to burn a cd instead of mounting the image)
..many thanks for the supportjames
