Is any xserve G4 able to boot OS 9.2?

Hi

Simple Question, maybe someone can help?

Does Apple made an Xserve that is/was able to boot OS9.2 native?

Have Apple some Xserve that can run the build in emulation "Classic" of OS 9 in OS X 10.4

X 10.4 is last with Classic-support?

Thx.

G5 Quad, Mac OS X (10.4.7)

No.

Mac OS X Server doesn't include components needed for Classic. If you install a compatible version of Mac OS X client, yes, but some hardware features of the Xserve won't be supported.

It is possible to install Classic in OS X Server 10.4. You will need the Classic support DVD/CD from a G4/G5 computer. Insert this disk and use the installer app.

I used this trick on a Xserve G4 1.0 dual and a Xserve G5 2.0 dual. Both running OS X Server 10.4.11
