[Ti] Ti PB 867 won't play with OS 9 at all

[Don Williams]

This is encouraging, but according to our local AppleCentre store,  
Apple can no longer supply OS 9 installation disks. In the hope they  
are wrong, I'll contact Apple Australia direct tomorrow and see if I  
have any luck.

Incidentally, I discovered mine is an 800 MHz model, not 867 MHz as I  
thought.
