The only way to get it on a 7200 is by replacing certain parts of your 9.1 System folder with the 9.2.1 parts. You can't actually get a full 9.2.1 system on that computer. It would be kind of a 9.1/9.2.1 hybrid system. I really don't think it's worth it. Most of the updates from 9.1 to 9.2.1 were for better compatability with OS X.

How did you get OS 9 on that machine to start with.I am looking for a patch for the imac installer myself for my 7500. Know any?Actually the folowing response is similar to what I have been told to do and that is to change the macosrom file after you copy over the system from one machine to the other.

You just install it. Works fine straight off the bat...
