[QUOTE="TonyJ, post: 141087"] I would install OS 9 first, because you have to make sure you have the latest iMac firmware before upgrading to OS X or you will end up with a blank screen. I just repaired a Mac with this issue a few weeks ago. Once you've got it running with 9 and can verify the firmware is current, then you can evaluate the disk space you have and make sure you have enough ram to go to Panther. The iMac I worked on ran Panther quite well once it was fixed up. You'll want to check lowendmac.com for the firmware requirements for OS X. [/QUOTE]
