Mac OS 9 version for Powerbook G4 (gigabit-Ti)

[quinn]

Hello,

I picked up a Powerbook G4 Titanium (gigabit-Ti 550MHz) this week, and it's just lovely, even with a few dings. Amazingly, the hinges are still good, and the hard drive still works. It''s slow, so I'm going to replace that with something solid state.

Before I do that, I wanted to blank the machine of 10.2 and do a clean Mac OS 9 install. My Mac OS 9.2.1 CD installer says it's not for that model, and I don't have the original CDs.

Is there a newer version of 9.2.1, one with the enabler this needs? I didn't think there was a full 9.2.2 installer.

Thanks!

Welcome. Why not give the OS9 Lives ISO a try? I had an imacg3 and Quicksilver that were finicky about their OS9 iso and the OS9Lives iso installed just fine on both of them.

and nice pickup. A Titanium Powerbook is one of the remaining computers on my I want list.
