Title: Making cds to work on os 9.22
Post by: billythegrape on June 09, 2020, 07:02:35 AM: Hi,
I have an iBook, 2006 model. I want to put Lemmings on it, which I got from the Macintosh Repository. How do I make the cd on my PC? I tried using IMGburn and was unsuccessful; the drive just spits it back out. I have verified that the drive works with a cd that came with it.

I have to ask, why you don't burn with iBook?

Post by: billythegrape on June 11, 2020, 09:34:22 AM: well I guess because it isn't connected to the internet. It's a 2006 model, is it possible to access something like mac repositiry?

You can transfer files with USB pendrives from PC to Mac and then burn with Mac.

Also - of course you can access websites. Maybe not the Mac Repository, but the Macintosh Garden will work with whatever browser is on that machine. Since the Repository is just a mere rip-off of the Mac Garden, you better stick with flowers and trees anyway ;-)

Actually iBook with OSX 10.4 (tiger (and it's Classic installed), it should run with 256 color mode.
And I think iBook 2006 is iBook G4 Mid 2005, because there is not iBook 2006.
and
Here talk about boot it to Mac OS 9:

EDIT: maybe OSX 10.2-10.3 too, but not with OSX 10.5 or newer, because there is not Classic

or why burn at all. an USB stick seems more appropiate for a 20 mb file.
