[Top DL]: The 9.2.2 universal OS installer CD's archive is a .zip compressed .iso image. It is OK to burn this back to CD using ImgBurn on Windows or Disk Utility on Mac OS X, or Toast on Mac OS 9/X. This archive has been tested as working, prior to uploading.

[2nd DL]: These are the ATI drivers as shipped with the G4 eMac 1.0 GHz with 8x combo drive, from 2003, (M8950LL/A). This was perhaps the final production Macintosh able to boot native to a classic 9.x OS and its installed drivers were newer than whats on this universal install CD. If you install the Mac OS 9.2.2 that's here, onto this model eMac (possibly the eMac ATI 800MHz, also) then you should DL and use these drivers, too.

You can install Mac OS 9.2.2 from this CD onto any of the following computers: Power Mac G4, Power Macintosh G3, iMac G3, iBook G3, PowerBook G4, and PowerBook G3 (except the original PowerBook G3).
I have used this to boot up and install to a beige G3 and an eMac G4 OK. This will install onto most early to late model G3 & G4 Macs.
However if the Mac cannot boot into OS 9, e.g: Macs with USB 2.0, then this CD will not be of use (as a bootable System Install CD). Check everymac.com for specs if you are unsure if your Mac is capable of booting to Mac OS 9.2.2 or earlier.
- Confirmed working for Mac PPC models:
- Power Macintosh G3 (beige tower) 300MHz
- G3 iBook Clamshell (2000) 366MHz SE non FireWire
- G3 iBook Translucent White (mid-2002) 700MHz, 16VRAM
- G3 iMac (Summer 2000) 350MHz slot-loading, no FW/AP
- G4 AGP Sawtooth (+ Sonnet 1 GHz processor card)
- G4 QuickSilver (2001) 733MHz
- G4 QuickSilver (2002) 800MHz
- G4 eMac ATI 8x combo (M8950LL/A) 1.0GHz
- G4 Mirrored Drive Doors (2003) 1.25GHz FireWire 400
- QEMU Emulator
If anybody DL's this and successfully installs it to a PPC Mac, or clone, please post which model Macintosh, so it can be added to the list of Macs above that this CD is confirmed to install to.
Quick installation guide on modern Mac OS X systems (Catalina etc)
Using QEMU, Homebrew and this image, it's fairly straightforward to create a fresh OS9 installation. The steps are listed below in a single script. A few manual steps are required, as there is no automated disk formatting and double clicking the installation button. (Perhaps we should upload a complete QEMU disk somewhere).
Note: sound is not available under qemu.
Using the terminal.app, with a few gigabytes of free disk space, enter the following instructions, or run this as a script:
