Hi all,

I bought a 700mhz eMac on eBay for my kids to play with in the family room. However, i can't get OS 9 loaded on this thing to save my life. I have classic on my G5, I must be able to get it on my eMac, right? I hope? Anyone? Any help would be great. Should I install OS 9 before OS X?

Thanks,
Tom

As long as it's not running Leopard (10.5), it is Classic capable. You can simply copy over from the Finder your OS 9 System Folder from your G5 over to the eMac.

Leopard DOES NOT work on a 700 MHz eMac. (At least not without a clever workaround... http://www.maccast.com/2007/10/29/ru...7-mhz-g4-macs/ )
