I am in need of the software load/restore disks for an 867MHz or 1GHz
Titanium Powerbook. I need the original disks that came with the PB
when it was purchased and that have the installer for OS 9.2.x.
I recently purchased a used Ti Book 1GHz to replace my Power Mac G4
desktop system which had become almost useless because of intermittent
problems. I have a MacBook Pro with OSX but still have a lot of OS 9
apps and games that I ran on the Power Mac.
The used Ti Book did not include the disks when I purchased it. I
loaded OS 9.2.1 from a retail package that I own, updated to 9.2.2.
and booted up. This revision of OS 9 only allows 256 colors and
results in a messed up display. Researching this on line it appears I
am not the only one who has encountered this problem and that the
867MHz/1GHz Ti Books require machine specific OS 9 install disks
because of the video hardware in these PowerBooks. Therefore my
requests for the disks.
I would be willing to purchase these disks or functioning copies, or
rent or borrow them in order to get a correctly operating bootable OS
9 on my system.
