9.2.2 download

I went to the official Apple page to download the 9.2.2 updater, but all I get from the download link there is page not found.

Can anyone explain if this is a temporary glitch or perhaps Apple has dropped this support?

Thanks.

PowerMac, Mac OS 9.2.x

I'll report to Apple. Hopefully it will be back on-line soon.

2 weeks later and still no joy ... 9.2.2 does not download from apple support site. I am in the same boat. Did you find the download elsewhere or are you still waiting for apple to fix the site?

I dug deep in my stack of old optical discs in the attic and lucked out, finding my Apple 9.2.2 install CD from long ago. I was unable to find any online source of a 9.2.2 updater. Hopefully, Apple will eventually get around to fixing their broken link.

OTOH, if Apple chooses to no longer support Classic OS, at least they ought to make nice with their decades-long customers and allow third parties to freely re-distribute it. Ominously, the illustrious Apple leader once used a symbolic coffin to bury Apple's past. I hope Classic is not in that coffin.

OS 9 (Classic) is supported; all the other OS 9 download updaters are available. It is just the OS 9.2.2 updater that is missing for some reason. The Hosts have been notified and queried re the staus of that.
