Mac OS Install CD Library MacOS 7, MacOS 8, MacOS 9

When's the last time you tried that link?
I have a feeling Apple is wiping out anything that is PPC related.

The actual restore disks of the 1GHz TiBook would be nice as they are hard to get hold of.

It finally loaded and I added Netboot9 to the page.

I'm having the same problem as Gary with the TiBook 1.0ghz (PowerBook G4 A1025). I just bought one (a good upgrade from the Lombard 400Mhz PowerBook G3 I've been using for 8 years) with the purpose of using it for OS 9. I don't know about using an Installer versus merely copying a System Folder over, but it shouldn't matter to just copy if you know where all the files go, and you can extract them from the Tome on an installer disk anyway (except for the System suitcase where the resources need to be compiled).

Whatever System 9.2.2 you install or copy, what is needed for your specific Mac model is to add the updated versions (and a few additional files maybe) of a few Extensions and Control Panels, and ESPECIALLY the Mac OS ROM file. All these files are part of the Mac OS CPU Software package in all its various versions througout the years. The latest version I've heard of is 5.9; that may be the last ever version. If I could find an install disk or an already-installed System Folder that has a set of files marked with the package Mac OS CPU Software 5.9, then I betcha just copying those over into the TiBook's System Folder would solve the problem of booting OS 9 (9.2.2) on a Titanium PowerBook G4 1.0ghz A1025, or even earlier TiBooks, and getting everything to run properly.

The things that don't work properly mostly seem to relate to peripherals, particularly AV. Extensions (and CDEVs) that relate to the Monitor and Sound, DVD drive, and even Keyboard are mostly the things that are affected. I also notice that I can't put my TiBook to sleep: I get the message "You can't put the computer to sleep because some System software is missing".

BTW, regardless of whether there is a motherboard jumper to disable installation of OS 9 on later Macs or not, you can fool the installer either the same way XPostFacto does (Open Firmware and BootX file) or modify the IncompatHW file in the Upgrader Files folder on the installer CD/DVD, and it'll install on any Mac. Then you can just update the few required files from the Mac OS CPU Software package.

Can you examine the various install disks you have and see if any of them have files from the package Mac OS CPU Software 5.9? Or alternatively, if you have an already-setup System Folder or extracted OS 9 portion of some installer or restore disk (like the QuickSilver disks you extracted), see if those have files from the 5.9 package?

Of course if anyone has actual 9.2.2 install (or "restore") DVDs that came with the 2002-2003 867/1.0g Titanium PowerBook G4 Model A1025 (M8858/M8859), and could post them here that'd be great, but I think there's no need to d/l such a large image when only a few files are needed (those from Mac OS CPU Software 5.9).

Are you sure the internal optical drive is original or at least Apple boot compatible?

The PowerMac G3 CD should be the factory CD.
Just make sure you burn it correctly.
Just unstuff, drag the .toast file to Toast and hit the burn button.
Do not mount the image.

Its really great to see these converted from .dmg, to .toast/.sit and archived here at the Garden. Thank you.

A comment about the Mac OS 7.1 CD image, its not exactly universal. Its for the '040 Macs:
Centris 610, Centris 650 & Quadra 800 models [has System Enabler 040 v1.0].

It can boot some earlier 68k Mac models, if they originally shipped with no System Enabler (such as an '030 IIci). Later model '040 Macs cannot boot up with this CD, nor any other Mac, if it had originally shipped with 7.1 plus machine specific System Enablers.

Its an interesting install CD all the same. It boots up to "At Ease", presenting an easy interface for installing the system. Its At Ease desktop isn't too crippled and it allows easy access to a standard Finder desktop for the more experienced user to install the OS from. Overall its an excellent historic addition.

I have replaced the 10.0.3 disk in my external list with one created via Toast 5.2 and DropStuff under MacOS 9.2.2. I will download tomorrow, make CD and see if I can get it to boot on my Wallstreet.

I used Disk Utility to burn the CD and doing so on the iMac G3

Mac OS X 10.0 wont boot.

CD scan for these please?
7.6.1 Universal (a bit of a bloated dog IMHO)
8.6 (8.5 with 8.6 auto update)
9.0.4 Universal
iMac 9.0.4 Restore CD
iBook 3CD 9.2.2 Restore Set
Power Mac G3 8.6 (8.5 with 8.6 auto update)

MacOS 8.5.1 for PowerBook G3 is actually MacOS 8.5.1 for PowerMac G3 B&W.

Any discs with the title "Apple Macintosh CD" or "Macintosh Performa CD".

more disk's plz

I want more CD scans please...

8.5.1 for PowerBook G3 points to a file for 8.6 which is the same as the following d/l

They will be there as soon as the uploads finish. By 2AM Boston, USA time.
