[G4] 450 OSX question

[B G]

That is correct I have had system disc that are machine specific. I  
do not know if it is written anywhere. I have tried installs and  
gotten the message that says this software is not intended for this  
system. Not a direct quote I do not remember the exact wording.

That said, sometimes it works.

In this case since he is looking to install OS 9 and not OS X it may  
work.
