Downgrade OSX Jaguar to Mac OS 9 or 8?

[davidx385]

Hi guys,
I have a iBook G3 300 Mhz, and it has Mac os X Jaguar on it, and I was wondering if I could downgrade Mac OS X Jaguar to OS 9 or OS 8, because it is pretty slow and because I just want to use it as a classic machine for classic applications and games, without having to use classic mode in OSX.

Thanks in advance!

You can do whatever you want with that machine, but by downgrading you would have to just completely erase your drive prior to installing the older OS on it.

the chart at the link shows it should be able to run 8.6; ibook-guide
