Make OS 9 install discs?

Shake 'n' Bake · Apr 5, 2009, 04:43 PM

Hello everybody.

I've got an iMac 233 and I'd like to reinstall OS 9. My only problem is that I don't have an install disc.

Can I make one i.e. with the system folder or something? Also, the optical drive is a bit flaky so could I install from a flash drive or external HDD?

Any help is appreciated!

If you're looking for OS 9, your best bet is to go to small computer stores to see if they have any or call up AppleCare and asked to be transferred to the department that handles legacy computers/OS's.
