Trash
I really do need to find and answer to this at some point because I need to dispose of all my machines (moving house can't take them with me) that will boot into OS 9, as I have a fair amount of old legacy software I want to continue using.
My initial plan was to run an Apple G4 Powerbook 1.67 in two partitions with OSX 10.5 on one side and OSX 10.4/classic OS 9 on the other so I could switch between them. In the end I decided to simply buy another G4 Powerbook 1.67 and run OSX 10.5 on one and OSX 10.4/OS 9.0 on the other and switch between them. But I still need to find a solution to those applications not being recognised under OSX 10.4/OS 9 as it's limiting what OS 9 applications I can run on it.
I did consider moving up to a more recent intel Macbook Pro (and keep the G4 Powerbook for sole OSX 10.4/OS 9 use) but I decided against it because 1/ I didn't really want to drop that much money on one as it's not really a high priority, 2/ It would also have meant either changing my current 20" cinema display to one that would plug into the new Macbook pro and get an adapter for the G4 or simply buying an adapter for the new Macbook Pro and use the existing one.
I'm beginning to wonder whether it might simply be easier to sell the second G4 Powerbook and buy the last of the G4 Powerbook Titaniums that can boot OS 9.0, but then I may not be able to use that with my current monitor!
Whichever way I go there always seems to be some obstacle or other in the way!
Cheers!
