where to find upgrade of mac os 9.0 up to 9.1 and 9.2

In my pwrmac G4 I partitioned HD for 1) Mac OS X and 2) Mac OS 9. I had upgraded 9.0 to 9.2.2 a few years ago, when the upgrades (from 9.0 to 9.1 and from 9.1 to 9.2) were available from the Apple site. By mistake, these upgrades were recently replaced by the os 9.0 from my apple original system disk. Since the classic environment requires mac os at least 9.1 it cannot run now and I'm stuck with applications that cannot be used with mac os X running and a ton of files rendered useless when in mac os X which is my standard way of working. As far as I have been able to explore, the needed upgrade(s) for 9.0 are no longer available from the apple site (since when I don't know).

Would appreciate very much any help provided on this matter. Thank you.

PowerMac, Mac OS 9.0.x

OS9.2.2

Here is the way I get files off the web that no longer exist.

I pulled up the English version of the site you provided:

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1387

Since that doesn't load, I used the Internet Archive:

http://web.archive.org/web/20100917074207/http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1387

When this page loads, select the OS update you want.

For this example, I chose OS 9.2.2 with the North American 21.3MB 9.2.2 update.

http://web.archive.org/web/20101204032737/http://docs.info.apple.com/article.htm l?artnum=75186

On this page:

http://web.archive.org/web/20101204032737/http://docs.info.apple.com/article.htm l?artnum=75186

the first update available is North American English, 9.2.2, 21.3MB.

Simply right-click (hold ctrl then click the mouse button), and "copy link" ("copy link" is how it appears in my 10.4.11, your operating system or browser choice may vary):

http://web.archive.org/web/20101204032737/http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_S upport_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/Macintosh/System/Mac_ O S_9.2.2_Update/Single-File/Mac_OS_9.2.2_Update.smi.bin

Paste the link in a new tab of your browser, and delete the entire beginning of the address all they way up to and including the final forward slash /.

If you did this correctly this will leave you with the file name:

Mac_OS_9.2.2_Update.smi.bin

Do a web search for "ftp Mac_OS_9.2.2_Update.smi.bin" and you'll find a download site somewhere!
