There is NO MYSTERY here. The MDD
Fair enough.
I have 5 MDD G4s, along with (too many) TiVos. In 25 Mac years, I've
only had one drive fail me, a Seagate in a TiVo. Never had a failed
Maxtor or WD. (I know Seagate bought Maxtor) So for me, I have no
significant failure experience on any drives. The one SG was under
warranty, and
I have a disc labeled 9.2.1.
I got the MDD and Apple sent this for $10 shortly after as part of
some upgrade program.
I don't believe there's such as thing as a 9.2.2 universal install CD.
The final retail OS 9 disc was the OS 9.1 disc that's white with the

Kris, why so hostile? Since FW400 is limited to 400Mbs, and a 5400RPM
drive will run 3Gbs, how will a 7200RMP offer more performance when
the bottleneck is in the FW400 itself? In any system, one needs to
look at where the bottleneck is, and iJohn's guess passed the common
sense test with me. An

SATA III in a Firewire enclosure will of course run slower than plugged
directly into a SATA II or SATA III Controller.

I have a legit copy of Office on my MDD. When I put it on a second
machine (another MDD) it installed just fine, but I'm permitted to
only run it on one machine at a time.
I'm not complaining, just answering your question. If I upgrade, I'll
get the family pack like I did with Leopard and iWork.
I did just this, only no hardware to mount it neatly. I plugged it in
to pull data off some zip discs. Duct tape held it in place. Worked
fine.
