Partitioning for OS 9
Authored by: balthisar on Aug 16, '02 12:17:04PM

You heathen! Alt key indeed...

In any case, on existing computers OS 9 will always be bootable! We shouldn't worry about that. Apple's statements that Mac OS 9 will someday not be bootable is exactly what Apple's been doing as long as I've been using Macs. Put a System 6 disk from my Macintosh SE into a Color Classic, and you get the message to the effect, "Sorry, you must boot this Macintosh using System 7.1 or higher." Similarly, I doubt trying to boot my G4 from 8.5 would work.

I've got news for you, my G4 doesn't even recognize OS9.1 as a valid system !
