Is there a way to upgrade OS9 without uninstalling OSX?	Morgenmuffel (187)
534253	2007-03-19 08:20:00	Have you tried holding option when turning on the comp? AFAIK, OSX does not play nice with OS9. What do you want it for anyway?	Ripdog (11014)
534254	2007-03-19 08:26:00	Yes as long as your running OS9 you should be able to get the 9.2.2 "upgrade" from Apple just do as Ripdog says and press the Option key on start up to give you the option of which system you want to start up. What are you running that requires OS9 anyway apart from an old iMac?	winmacguy (3367)
534255	2007-03-19 08:27:00	um OSX is a tad sluggish on this machine, it does work fine but OS9 was a bit snappier, although it appears I need at least os9.1 to be able to dual boot them got my .01 and .1s mixed up	Morgenmuffel (187)
534256	2007-03-19 08:31:00	I'm not surprised. If I was you and I could afford it I would search for a cheap 2nd hand Mac mini on Trade me and upgrade so that you have a newer faster machine that is less hassel considering that OS9 is about 7 years old now. What apps do you run on OS 9?	winmacguy (3367)
