A couple of months ago I wrote about Installing Mac OS 9 on the Mirrored Drive Doors Power Mac G4. / that Mac model requires a system-specific (non-retail) install of Mac OS 9.2.2./
Another client / has control software that only runs in Mac OS 9. A few Quicksilver G4 towers / couldn't get a stable OS 9 system running on the machine.

Like the MDD, the Quicksilver / some later models require a system-specific installation.

Finally, a helpful tip from one reader about how to find those elusive Software Restore discs:
I was at the Apple store today, and while talking to my genius, I mentioned my problem. He went out back and got me a shiny new set of system discs for my specific machine that they had hanging around . . . He also said that if one were to call AppleCare and explain the situation that they would burn a copy of the original system from the vault and it would be free except for postage.
