Classic Mac OS
Q: When Did Apple Discontinue Selling Macs With OS 9?
I am curious on what OS my iMac probably would have came with. It is a iMac G3 built on 9/14/01. Did Apple sell iMac G3s at the time with OS 9 on it. Or at the time, would it have come with OS X 10.0. Also, since some OS X disks won't work with some Macs, will any version of OS X 10.0 (If that is what my iMac came with) that says iMac work on the computer?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.4.11), G3 Processor

Is an article that should answer most of your questions. No Mac may install an older version 9 or X than was prebundled with it.
