| Why can't I run Mac OS 9.2 on my computer upgraded with a Crescendo/PCI G4 800 (or 700)? | May-12-09 |
| When Apple created Mac OS 9.2, they decided to limit the number of machines supported to make the testing and qualification job easier. To accomplish this, they removed some specific parts of the operating system software that enabled operation on the Power Macintosh 9500 family and earlier machines; beige Power Macintosh G3 models are the oldest systems still supported under Mac OS 9.2.
It turns out that it is possible to add these sections of system software back in, and create a hybrid Mac OS 9.2 that will run with the 9500 family and the Crescendo/PCI G4 800 and 700. There is a web site, www.os9forever.com, which provides tools to do this for Mac OS 9.2.1 and 9.2.2. Unfortunately, Sonnet cannot provide support for this modification, although the Crescendo/PCI G4 800 (and 700) will operate with it. |
