Can emac installer discs be used to install OS 9.2.2 on Pismo G3?
I have a full set of original eMac installer discs, and want to use one set to install OS9.2.2 on an Apple Pismo G3.
Can this be done?
I've heard Apple OEM installer discs are "Mac machine specific", and can't be used to install OS software onto other
Apple Macs of a different model. But, I'm not sure if this is true, as there may be conflicting views on this subject.
The OEM eMac discs I have are as follows:
____________________________________________________________________________
• Two (2) disc OEM set
eMac OS X 10.4
AHT version 2.5
Disc version 1.1
2Z691-5518-A
____________________________________________________________________________
• Five (5) disc set:
eMac OS X and Mac OS 9
Mac OS version 9.2.2
CD version 1.0
691-3981-A
So the question is .... if OS X Tiger 10.4 has already been installed on the Pismo G3 .... can the above installer discs of (5) OS 9.2.2 be used to install OS 9.2.2 on the Pismo G3?
I would assume the Pismo G3 Hard drive would already have to have the OS9 drivers installed, during the OS 10.4 installation (showing an OS 9 "System Folder" on the HD, to be able to receive the OS 9.2.2 installer discs. I also understand that if installable, that the OS 9.2.2 would only open in the "Classic" mode.
Any information as to if the above eMac OS 9.2.2 installer discs can be used to install OS 9.2.2 on the Pismo G3 ... would be appreciated.
OR .... if other OS9.2.2 installer discs would be more appropiate, and if so, what model of Apple installer discs to use on the Pismo G3.
I have this question
