I recently bought an old PowerMac g3 at a yard sale, so I could play some of the old games I have that I can't play on my MacBook. The PowerMac is running Mac OS X 10.2. It says to install OS 9 to use classic. Where can I find a copy of OS 9? I have tried ebay but their too expensive.
PowerMac, Mac OS X (10.2.x)
Links to sites favoring older Mac stuff. Search and perhaps you can find a reasonably priced OS9.

Another possible source is an Apple User Group. Many large cities and universities have one.
Good evening, I have the same problem, but I can't reboot OS 9. I have the original CDs of the System, but I can't find the way to return to system 9 (classic).
My old iMac G3 indigo 2001 has 10.2. I've think that was a firmware problem, but I don't know.
It's possible to return on system 9?
I've seen a few on Amazon for as low as $40.
I've resolve my problem. Your problem is to find a cd of OS 9 install. Try to search people that has iMac on 2000 - 2002 … if they don't put away the original instal disc you can reboot os 9, as me.
how to get OS 9 for old PowerMac G3
