What's the difference?I know, by "natively" I meant "natively and officially", sorry that was unclear >.>
I don't know, to be perfectly honest. xDWhat's the difference?![]()
Not all mac mini can boot mac 9, and the few that do, don't work properly.
Natively and unofficial, they mean, respectively: Macs that you can place the installation cdrom of mac os 9, and install without problems, unofficial supported macs, means that if you install the installation cdrom, it will not boot, mac was not made for mac os 9, it has more modern hardware incompatible with os9, but doing some hacks, it can start in a precarious way.
My experience with OS 9 on my G4 mini contradicts that.Not all mac mini can boot mac 9, and the few that do, don't work properly.
This discussion reminds me of something ...

Poor old Ludwig was stuck with 100-year-old+ technology by the time of his professional career!
And just to add insult to injury, he was too dull and uncreative to raise money to afford eye surgery!
LOL, what an idiot!![]()
I am interested in part of this work, but I don't want to run a "stripped down" version of Tiger. What did you do to move the version of Classic from Panther to Tiger? I wish to run Tiger 10.4.11 mostly as is but with the Panther version of Classic. I am also curious as to what files from earlier versions of Tiger you moved to 10.4.11?
Panles.........It is not a simple thematic osx. It is a build built aiming only os9. OSX is just a compatibility layer. All the changes I made were aimed at supporting OS9 as the center of attention. In the near future, the osx finder will be replaced by the os9 finder.
