Mac OS 9 on Early 2004 iBook G4 (PowerBook6,5)
« on: March 11, 2020, 04:30:43 AM »
I have a friend who is working on potentially getting herself an Early 2004 iBook G4 and I'm trying to help her possibly boot OS 9 on it if possible, as she's really interested in older Mac OS versions. I tried looking but I can't find any definitive information or guide, so can someone direct me to a guide to installing OS 9 on the iBooks of this model if it exists?
