[QUOTE="digimon, post: 88149"] Hello to all. I am new to this Forum and I am throwing myself on your mercy as I just don't know what to try next. So here the story. I have not been able to run OS 9 Classic on my G4 desktop for 2 years. Here is the configuration ; Duel 500GH with 768MB Ram. I am running two 120 GB 7200RPM HDs. I am now running the 10.3.8 OS on my main hard drive. I have a scsi Microtech scanner that I would like to be able to use on my system and have not been able to for at least 2 years. I have a SCSI card and have used them both in OS 9 successfully before upgrade. This is what I have tried so far. I have brought a copy of the original OS that came with this G4 (PowerMac G4 Install with OS 9.2.1) on it and up graded the OS 9.1 classic that has been on the system and not been able to start up with the systems OS 10.2.8 thru OS 10.3.8. Well guess what it still is crashing at start up of classic OS every time. I have other reasons that I need to run the classic as well, like a TV graphics card that will only work in classic. Plus some older software. Any help would be greatly appreicated. Thanks, Richard [/QUOTE]
