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.

The harddrive may be formatted with the OS-X disk-tool, without the OS-9 drivers.
If so - you cant boot OS-9 from that harddrive. You will be able to run OS-9 in classic mode within OS-X. It may also make it difficult for OS-9 to read the "wrongly" formatted OS-X disk during boot-up. Reformat the drive with disktool but be sure to do it with drivers for OS-9. (this erases ALL DATA on the drive of course) Cheers: Dixiechicken -------------------- ==================
