Application file:
A bootable install CD of Mac OS 9.2.2 for the Mac mini G4 - This set uses the Mac OS 9.2.2 Universal install CD as the base installer mechanism. Unlike the similar "Mac OS 9.2.2 for Mac mini G4 (v9.0) CD" which uses a version of a Mac OS 9.2.2 Restore disk image as a base for its install set.
My resolve for creating this CD-ROM is because OpenGL did not work for me with the Mac OS 9.2.2 for Mac mini G4 v9.0 CD here, that originated from Mac OS9 Lives.
Compatibility:
- Notes:
- There are two versions of Drive Setup included in the CD's Utilities folder; v1.9.2 and v2.0.7 (the latter without a version number in its file name). Drive Setup v1.9.2 is the utility you must use if you want to format FireWire disks, newer versions of Drive Setup cannot format FW drives. Drive Setup 2.0.7 is the better choice to use if you intend to reformat Mac mini's internal HD.
- Sound is only available via the audio output jack. That is, the Sound Control Panel does not work (no System beeps). You will need to use external headphones or speakers for audio playback plugged into the jack.
- USB will only operate at (very slow) v1.1 speed.
- This install CD is (mostly) exactly what you get if you install the Universal Mac OS 9.2.2 disk. So there are no frills, you will need to add your own apps and nice touches to improve what's here. For example, QuickTime 5 and CarbonLib 1.5 are installed and you will likely want to update those (or not).
