Please post detailed descriptions of any and all successes and failures in attempts to install Mac OS 9.2.1 on a PCI Power Mac or clone -- in particular I'm wondering about results on a UMAX superMac s900 604e 200Mhz. Thanks!!

i think 9.2 needs a G3 or G4 Processor. Im not 100% sure on that. Anybody know if thats right or not?

I'm just wondering: Why would anybody want to put 9.2.1, which has no real improvements over 9.1 except enhanced Classic compatibility, on a machine that obviously won't be needing Classic compatibility?

There is more than just enhanced Classic compatibility -- it has been tweaked for stablity and speed when running on its own. Not to mention that some of us *are* running Mac OS X on our older boxes...

I can definitely vouch for it not being cpable of installation on at least one Pre-G3 system at my place of work. I attempted to install it onto a 9600/300, and it gave me some sort of "can't do that" (basically) message.
Without a hack or maybe the addition of a G3 or better processor card I'm guessing it's just not possible.
