Classic environment on Mac Mini G4

[iJny9956]

I'm trying to get OS9 classic environment running on my mac mini G4.

At the moment I've installed OSX10.4 and then copied the system folder form OS9.2.2 CD to the hard drive then tried starting classic. That was a fail... the classic environment says the system folder cannot be copied.

I have retail osx 10.4 disk and os9 9.2.2 disk.

please help

Find OEM disk

Those macs have a special OEM disk they came with that allows OS 9 (bootable or not) to run on the late model G4. Gonna have to get that. It won't work from another system OEM disk. If its a retail 9.2.1 disk it definitely won't work.

Good luck

I found this on the macintosh garden, it seems to be a good if you are interested in classic emulation only
