I sometimed was too lazy to boot into OS 9, while I was in 10.2 and so I just opened classic and started OS 9 applications there. This Mac is capable of booting into OS 9, so OS 9 was fully usable for me including light Photoshop work with DIN A4 scans and such. I had some strange experiences with Classic. But then again Macs can always act surprising ). (I never tried Photoshop on a G4 in classic mode, but I assume it will be a pain no matter the CPU speed. If a Mac is not able to boot into OS 9 and has to emulate it via the classic environment you need a fast CPU, but then again you won't be able to do heavy stuff anyway in classic mode. If a Mac is capable of booting into OS 9 every CPU speed will do OK (of course there are scenarios, where a faster CPU will be nice, but.) Actually a Sonnet 1,8GHz CPU (type 7447) is on par speedwise with a 1,25-1,42GHz Apple CPU (7455), that can be found in the PowerMac G4 MDD - His iMac G4 has a 1,25GHz 7445 Apple CPU, which should be slower, but I don't think that is the problem here anyway:

But I think splitting the roles to two machines is best.Īs far as I know OS 9 can't utilize the second core and despite (I think) Photoshop there were no OS 9 applications that did, so a Single 1,8GHz CPU Upgrade or other would do as well (they can be found much more often and often go for 50,-EUR here).

I have the top of the line G5 to serve as the best Mac OS X PPC machine, running Classic in Mac OS X 10.4 is pretty neat. Even having a KVM and the like it will still take up less space than a single desktop. Getting a last generation PowerBook is next for me, then the Titanium can run Mac OS 9 all the time.

I think for the space, I'd rather have a top of the line Mac OS 9 laptop and Mac OS X PPC laptop than one big machine. I think Mac OS X 10.4 would run better than 10.5 on it, but that's about it.

It's super quiet, super small, and still super fast for Mac OS 9 stuff. I threw an SSD in there, took the battery out and run headless. In the end, while I still have the MDD that doesn't work, my go-to dual boot machine Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X 10.5 is a PowerBook Titanium G4 1GHz, the 3,5 model from late 2002. Still super fast, but then the PSU went bad, as MDDs are known to do. I ended up just using the 1.25GHz processor. The machine was extremely unstable, I think my upgrade card was bad. I think I have a GeForce 3 as the best Mac OS 9 graphics card? I'd have to check. I had a MDD Dual 1.25GHz, and even had the Sonnet upgrade processor to dual 1.8GHz running Mac OS 9 (that'd be the fast Mac OS 9 native machine, once upgraded).

If there's a FW800 port, then no OS 9 - only the classic environment, which is also not supported if you are running Leopard.Īnyway, the fastest Mac for OS 9 booting is a MDD G4, with stock processor (1.25 GHz), and no FW800 port on the logic board, can boot into OS 9, regardless of the presence of OS X 10.5.Īnd, as always, both OS 9 and OS X can be installed on the same hard drive - although the MDD gives you lots of options for multiple drives.ĭon't forget, that whichever hard drive has OS 9 installed, requires a hard drive with OS 9 drivers installed to boot into OS 9. Again, the quickest way to tell, if there's just a FW400 port, but not FW800, that Mac can boot into OS 9. The fastest Mac that supports BOOTING into OS 9, is the MDD PowerMac G4, which is either a single or dual 1.25 GHz processor. Apple never sold a G4 with 1.8 GHz processor, so, you have a PM G4 with an upgrade processor installed? Unless your PowerMac is a MDD model with a FW800 port, then your Mac should be able to boot to OS 9 - unless your third-party processor doesn't support it.
