Drive For Mac Os 9.2

A screen shot of MacOS 9 browsing the hard drive to show some of its icons. In 9.0 - 9.0.4, most applications would install to the 'Applications' folder. 9.1 changed that, as it shipped at the same time, and along with, Mac OS X 10.0. 'Applications' is now used for OS X applications, and 'Applications (Mac OS 9) for OS 9 apps.

At capacities ranging from 3 GB to 120 GB, these hard drives were small in capacity, mostly slow at just 4200rpm or 5400rpm — and noisy to boot.

Or you might try booting with your Mac OS 9 install CD and run disk set up and disk first aid. Those utilities might get it to work. Norton System works might work also if you have it.

What is Mac OS 9.2.2 Universal (2013 MacOSLives edition)?

Compliments of www.macos9lives.com/smforum

This unofficial Mac OS 9.2.2 universal boot CD was compiled in 2013 by/for macos9lives. This is not the installer released by Apple. This is a 9.2.2 drive image that includes updates and graphics drivers released after the offical 9.2.2 installer CD. It contains CPU version 5.9, Mac ROM 10.2.1, DiskCopy 6.5b13, the older DriveSetup 1.5.2 for compatibility, and other custom variations that are discussed over at their forum. The updates were included in MacOSX 10.2. This system is intended for those who want the updated OS 9.2.2 without having to install MacOSX. If you plan to install OSX then you should use the offical Apple installer from 2002.

See compatibility notes below for some comments about models that it could not boot. If you want a way more successful Mac OS 9.2.2 boot CD, try the Mac OS 9.2.2 universal boot CD (2002 edition).

Does not boot G3 (450mhz) iMac DV+ from summer 2000. -- that-ben

This is supposed to support any G3 or G4 Mac computer, but I tried on a eMac G4 with 1Ghz 2003 and the 17 inches monitor not was detected. -- Xor Prime

it is supposed to boot into all machines... which support OS9. emacs and xserves are out of the game, fw-800 macs need OS9drivers on their HDs and/or open firmware hacks, and old world G3s require '9enabler' --IIO

Drive For Mac Os 9.2

Someone in our Facebook group asked an interesting question: “Anyone know the maximum size flash drive that can be used in OS 9.2 on a 300 MHz iBook G3?”

I have to admit, he had me stumped. Someone quickly chimed in that Apple’s HFS+ supports up to 2 exabytes (an exabyte is a million terabytes, and the biggest drives at present are in the 8 TB range), but that didn’t seem realistic. So I did what anyone with an Internet connection would do, I asked Google how big a drive Mac OS 9 supports.

As expected, it was a whole lot less than 2 exabytes. But I got conflicting information from Apple. Mac OS 8, 9: Mac OS Extended Format – Volume and File Limits says it supports 2 TB volumes. Mac OS 9 Booting: Hard Disk Size Limit? puts the limit at “about 190 GB” and Macintosh: Using 128 GB or Larger ATA Hard Drives says for use with Mac OS 9.2.2, each partition must be no larger than 200 GB.

As covered in How Big a Hard Drive Can I Put in My PowerPC Mac?, most G4 Macs – especially those introduced before 2002 – do not support UltraATA* drives over 128 GB capacity, and with the G5, Apple moved to SATA drives, where that’s not an issue. This is a hardware issue, not an operating system issue or file system issue.

For G3 Macs, there is no native support for “big” (over 128 GB) IDE hard drives, so hitting the 190-200 GB ceiling isn’t even possible.

What About USB?

Mac Os 9.2.2 Update

SCSI and FireWire don’t have maximum drive size restrictions, although hardware that bridges an IDE drive to FireWire may have such restrictions. For instance, most early FireWire enclosures for UltraATA drives do not support “big” drives.

As with SCSI and FireWire, USB drive capacity is limited only by the file system used, so any Mac running OS 9 should have no trouble using USB flash drives up to 200 GB capacity – and higher than that if the user wants to partition the drive. (Mac OS 9 allows up to 21 partitions, so in theory you could use a 4 TB drive.)

The only drawback flash drives have is the speed of USB, and older Macs such as the first two clamshell iBooks and tray-load iMacs only have USB 1.1 ports for expansion. That’s horribly slow by modern standards. It was slow compared to SCSI and IDE when that first USB-only iMac arrived in 1998. USB 2.0 is 40x as fast, FireWire is faster than that, and USB 3.1 is almost 100x as fast as USB 1.1.

So while you can have a 200 GB USB flash drive on one of those old Macs with USB 1.1, you are going to have to be patient. It will take a long time to write anywhere close to that much data to them, so maybe you’ll want to let it run overnight.

Still, you can do it. Any flash drive below 200 GB should be no problem at all with any Mac running OS 9. (Tthis should apply equally to Mac OS 8.1 and later as well. We will investigate further.)

Update: We’ve already heard from someone successfully using a 500 GB SATA drive with a SATA PCI card and running OS 9 with one partition. If you have results to share, please use the comments. Thanks!
