Hello, first of all thank you to everyone who contributed to highlighting and installing Mac OS 9 on the Mac mini G4.

I just bought one and was surprised to see that it was possible.  Soon the adventure will begin.

I plan to recover my old files (from more than 20 years ago) using this machine.

Looking forward to discussing with you 

Why would you need 16 bits in this day and age, especially in OSX? Burning CDs?

Please show me your recommended wave editor.

I have Spectrafoo, SoundEdit and SoundMaker.

I want to change the 24bit to 16bit wave files.

What is new about the link you provided? What is the hotline?

Where can I get mac os9 vst for Kantos?

Please tell me how to Logic 5 & Pro Tools LE 5 syncing.

Finally had time to try this out on my machine today. This is extremely impressive, I.. honestly can't believe we've gotten this treat 20 years on. Amazing, amazing work.

That's a valid point and seems to be a Simple Machine Forums standard thingie. Not that standards aren't there to be changed :-) I'll look into it. And I'll get back to Knezzen and we'll discuss the other points you've made. No promises though

Well, I got a bootable OS 9.2.2 installed on my iMac G4.  Finally after 2 months of trying.  So now I can at least try formatting the FW drive on the G4 in OS9 and see if my G3 will mount it. 

I wrote a much longer reply than this but I guess I got logged out before sending it and I lost it all.  It was probably too long anyway. 

The important part was the big "THANK YOU" to users DrNo7, and FBz, and aBc, for your responses and ideas and your help.  I really appreciate it. 

Sincerely,

Wow! 

It is incredibly impressive that you have managed to do this.  Thank you for your time and expertise and your sacrifices.  This is huge.

I lost my original Blue Emagic XS Key years ago, but I still have my original Logic Pro 7 retail box and install discs.  After over a year of looking everyday,  I finally managed to buy a white Apple Logic Pro 7 XS Key on the used market.  I now have Logic Pro 7 installed and running on my sweet little iMac G4 under both 10.4.3 and Sorbet Leopard. 

I am of course building out an OS 9 partition as well.  I have an iMac G3 running OS 9.0.4 that I have installed Pro Tools Free v.5 onto.  And my OS 9.2.2 partition of my iMacG4 now has a working version of Pro Tools LE 5.2.  I still had my original install disc and authorization number, but I had to buy another old original MBox.  It's fantastic.  I am looking forward to adding Logic Pro 6 to this OS 9 build on the iMac G4.

I have heard that the white Apple XS keys, if authorized/activated in their day for Logic Pro 7, will work for authorizing all previous versions of Logic Pro, and all the way back to Notator.  I have not tested this.  I count my self lucky that I got a working Logic Pro 7 XS Key.  An OS X virtual XS Key for Logic 7 would be out-of-this-world.

Well done Windoze!
