Title: Help! Need 9.2.2 install disc
Post by: z-mac on November 02, 2005, 03:40:22 PM
I am in a jam and need to install 9.2.2 on my G4 (Mirrored Drive Doors 2003). I need an ~installation~ disc, not just the System folder from the OS X Classic environment.

Even though I am a registered user of Panther, Apple wants me to pay $150 for a 9.2.2 installation disc.

If you can help me out, please mail me. Thanks!

You can probably get this item as a CD from AppleRescue http://www.applerescue.com/ for much less than from Apple. They gave me prompt service a few months ago. There's also MacRescue at http://www.macresq.com. Have not dealt with them.

If you have the installation disk for an earlier version of OS9 you can download an updater  (or possibly a series of updaters) to get you to OS 9.2.2 from:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75288

I think a 9.2.2 updater is on the OSX installation/update disk as well but only runs as part of an OSX installation.

Hope this helps.
