If you've bought a new Mac recently, have you tried installing OS9?
I'd like to know if Apple have really incapacitated their new models, so we can't install OS9. If its true, I imagine the price of second hand Macs is likely to rise. Perhaps even the new Macs will suddenly appear on the second-hand market - cheap! We can't buy a new computer AND pay for OSX updates for all our software - if the ÒSX versions exist!!! -------------------- Without shit, we wouldn't be here ;)

My new flatpanel G4-800 iMac ordered 2003-01-10,delivered around 2003-03-19.
Can NOT boot into Mac OS 9, it was only delivered with Mac OS 10.2 on the install-dvd. In the older G3/G4 macs that could boot both os:es, the Open Firmware script called a tbxi-resource in the systemfile in side the Active system folder of OS 9. Like: mac-boot hd:nr,\:tbxi Where nr == number of the hfs-partition on which your system were installed. There is however special version Mac 9.8.7, or similar, delivered to OEM-service technicians, that can boot new Mac into OS 9. Check out Macfixit or Macintouch for info.
