I am a bit stumped and wondered if someone could clue me in before I spend countless hours diggin through apple.com. I bought a used G3 B/W Yosemite that came with OSX 10.2.4 as the boot system. Well I cannot get it to boot to OS9 for some reason. OS9 works in classic but this is of no use to me. I had a B/W G3 before this one and I had no problem with OS9 on it. I cannot even boot any OS9 CD.... it just hangs. But its has no problem running OSX or booting OSX CD... its current OSX.2.4 is a little buggy though.
So I was wondering if anyone know whether these mashines required a firmware update that when installing OSX.2+ that makes booting to OS9 impossible? I bought this computer to replace my OS9 music machine and without OS9 its useless to me.

No it doesnt.
Disktool on the Panther (10.3) install CD will not let you format a HD with drivers for OS-9 - IF the machine is a OS-X bootable machine ONLY, like my flatpanel iMac. However the Jaguar (10.2) Install CD-rom will let you format the HD with drivers for OS-9. (checkout MacFixit right now for instance) Cheers: Dixiechicken -------------------- ==================
