Hey guys, I have a Bondo Blue that is just a gorgeous bit of kits, so really want to get it up and running to use for browsing and printing off documents i my workshop.

From reading similar threads It looks like I need to have OS 9.2 classic installed, and then update the FW Update 4.1.9.....

Can I burn this OS onto CD from a PC? and how would I boot from this CD (as I think it has Jaguar in it at the moment thats unusable)


After doing this update what else can I do with hard/software to get it to its optimum? (and is there a mod or dongle that will let me use above USB1 as sticks that I want to use dont have there own power-supply)
QUOTE Thanks

No. As stated earlier you need the OS 9.2.2 discs, install OS 9, install firmware upgrade 4.1.9, the use Panther DVD/CD's and load that and then update to OS X.3.9.

Hang on to those original install discs like grim death! Using OS X.7 or later make a bootable USB thumb drive before running Installer!

You must have OS9.2.2 installed first..then do the firmware update. The problem is that machine has a CD drive and not a DVD. The version of OSX you install will have to be on CD.
