According to my source very close to the core (Apple), is that booting into
9.2.2 will cease once such technologies as Firewire 800 and Airport Extreme
are on all machines. I am in the privileged position of have both a brand
new G4 with FW800 and a brand new iBOOK 900. The iBOOK boots in 9.2.2, the
G4 doesn't and never will. This was the official / unofficial word.

Regarding Disk warrior - is you own 2.1 then upgrade to v3 - it boots in
OS10 and Alsoft don't charge the earth as other vendors do.

Just my 2 cents.
