[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1160647, member: 56379"] This is actually a MUCH more difficult project than you think. - First: Plain & simple...there's no way to get OS 9 to run on your Intel iMac with OS 10.6.5. - Second: This leaves you with the option of needing to buy an older computer (G5 or older...running OS 10.5 or and Older OS). You can spend as much as $250-$300 for a Powermac G5...or as little as "FREE" if you can find someone trying to "unload" a 8-12 year-old Mac. You must realize that it's been something like 9-10 years since OS 9 was the "latest & greatest" OS version from Apple...and when OS 10.6 came out in 2009...support for OS 9 went away. So you need a 2nd computer that can run Mac OS 10.5 or older. Of course you will need OS install disks that also include OS 9...if the 2nd computer you might get does not already have OS 9 installed on it. HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
