Is there any way to do a clean install of OS 9.2.2 from a set of eMac install/restore cds without having OS X installed? The cds don't seem to be bootable, and no app in OS 9 can open the files on the cds. I thought I read something about being able to create new cds using the disc copy. Mac OS 9.x, based on Mac OS 8 was the final product based on the classic MacOS architecture. Like previous version, it lacks true protected memory or pre-emptive multitasking. MacOS 9 was abandoned in favor of of the Unix-ish NextStep/Openstep based Mac OS X. Running MacOS 9 requires a supported Power PC based Macintosh (see the compatibility matrix), or the following. Mac OS 9 was the ninth major release of Apple's classic Mac OS operating system which was succeeded by OS X.Introduced on October 23, 1999, it was promoted by Apple as 'The Best Internet Operating System Ever', highlighting Sherlock 2's Internet search capabilities, integration with Apple's free online services known as iTools and improved Open Transport networking. A fair price for a stellar piece of software. If you own an older Mac, OS 9.2.x is the best way to go; it's faster than 9.1 and supports the most amount of software prior to OS X. This particular product is a full release which is what you want instead of an iffy upgrade version, because you can install the entire OS from scratch if you need to.
Q: I have installed a USB PCI card in my beige PowerMac G3 (or any other Power Macintosh computer without built-in USB ports) running Mac OS 9.2.2, but the card is not working / not recognized by the system. What can I do?
A: This problem is often caused by one of the following three issues -
1.) A Mac OS installer only installs the USB extensions that are necessary to use an USB adapter card if USB ports are present on the computer at the time of installation. This would apply if the USB PCI card was installed after installing the operating system.
2.) Several reports in the past have indicated that the USB extensions that come with Mac OS 9.2.2 may not always work on computers without built-in USB ports.
3.) USB Adapter Card Support 1.4.1 is not intended for use with Mac OS 9.1 or higher. If the 1.4.1 USB extensions have been installed anyway, this can be the reason why the USB card is not working. (From the ReadMe-document: 'Mac OS versions 9.1 and later include a later version of this software. Installing USB Adapter Card Support 1.4.1 over Mac OS 9.1, 9.2 or later could result in the USB adapter card not working.')
The common solution to the three issues above is to install the following USB extensions (that were included in Mac OS 9.1):
- HID Library 1.4.6
- Serial ShimLib 1.4.6
- USB Device Extension 1.4.6
- USB Mass Storage Support 2.0.9
- USB Software Locator 1.4.6
- USB Support 1.4.6
You can use a utility called TomeViewer to extract these extensions from either the Mac OS 9.1 download update or a (retail) Mac OS 9.1 CD.
To install them, open System Folder > Extensions, move any earlier or later versions of these extensions that might be present to the Desktop (you can delete them once your USB card is working) and drag-and-drop the extracted extensions to the Extensions-folder.

Then restart the computer to activate the new extensions.

If the USB card is not recognized after installing the new extensions, resetting the PRAM and/or resetting the CUDA chip might help.
