[G4] Spammo_MEDIUM: Re: looking for OS 9.2.2 (late 2002)

[Bruce Ryan Nakamura]

Hello,

That is my understanding also, 10.5 does not support OS 9.

It is not possible to run the retail edition of OS 9 on a Firewire  
400 or 800 MDD, even on a separate drive.

My  gray MDD discs install both 10.3.2 and 9.2.2 on it. So far as I  
know, it is not possible to set up a dual boot MDD without these gray  
discs that shipped with the MDD from the factory.
