[QUOTE="janusoo, post: 825718, member: 64569"] There are still a few websites that sell pre-X versions of mac OS. And you CAN find 9.1 or .2 discs that are not upgrade discs, but full installs. I'm not sure if I can post website names here, but you can find several sites that sell parts and software for older mac models. The availability of just about anything you need may surprise you. I assume they're authorized resellers, but don't know that for a fact. They are authentic discs, however. I've bought some myself and have been quite satisfied. And regarding the install both OS 9.x and OS X can be installed on the same drive. 9 can be booted to run in the classic environment simultaneously with OS X or booted separately. After installing OS 9, hold the option key at startup and you can select which OS to boot. Like a previous poster said, though, make sure the OS 9 drivers were installed when you installed OS 10.x. That said, I personally have had better results when installing OS 9 on a separate partition. You can still run it in classic mode after doing this if you wish. [/QUOTE]
