I have the Mirror Door Dual 1.25 G4 -= will OS 9 install and boot on this machine?

If it's a FW800 model, NO.

The PowerMacs without FW800 should boot into OS 9.

Unless of course it's a spanking new MDD from Apple for which OS9 boot capability was reinstated after the G5 relase. Good marketing, ha?

The Rev. B machine was the one with the FW800 and didn't boot OS 9.
