[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1126956, member: 42497"] Panther will run well on it but upgrade the memory to 1GB and before you look at OS X you need to make sure the firmware has been updated and you cannot start OS X from within OS 9 alas. This is the firmware update for tray loaders and instructions are with it:- [url]http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60384[/url] You can check out the current firmware by going to About this Mac under the apple icon in the menu bar. You MAY be able to get OS X loaded if you have Firewire on the iMac, can't remember back that far, and a Firewire external optical drive. They are pretty dear. It may be simpler to throw in a combo another CD drive in as Panther mainly came on CD's. When you buy Panther make sure to get the black retail install version and not a silver grey model specific lot. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tk3LuEQt8gc[/url] [/QUOTE]
