I read an article on the apple pr database that specifically states that as of this January New macs will no longer boot in OS 9. Assuming the worst I figure that means that New macs are endowed with hardware that will refuse to boot in 9.
I have a lot of classic aps that don't like running in "classic" and was quite rejoiced at having just bought an imac that still runs OS9 (which I had previously thought was a bad move, planning on waiting for some updated hardware).
Then I came across a thread somewhere in here that states ALL macs running OS 10.2 are programmed to refuse to boot in OS 9 after the first of the new year!!! Is this true?? Did Apple sneak that in the 10.2 system somewhere? Will I NEVER be able to boot OS 9 again come Jan 1?
Troubled,
David
