Can't get classic to work with Panther


Recommended Posts

Well it is really simple I need to be able to run in classic mode but it will not let my install it :pinch: I stick in the OS 9 CD and click OS install and this little window comes up that says.......

 Classis cannot find a Mac OS 9 System folder on the startup disk to use.     You may need to install Mac OS 9.1 or later on your computer. To select a system folder on another volume, click Open Classic Preferences. 

At the bottom of the window you can either quit or open classic preferences...... When I go the preferences I get this ?you do not have a version of OS 9 installed that supports classic. Install Mac OS 9.1 or later":argh:h: I know I don't have it installed!!! That?s what I am trying to do but it will not let me!!!:pinch:nc:wacko:cko: Anyone know why I am getting this?

I think the problem is that you are trying to install OS 9 from within OS X. Well, the way you are going about it won't work, you will need to boot from the OS 9 CD to install it. Why?

1. the OS 9 installer program is a classic app

2. you don't have Classic installed, which is required to run a classic app inside of OS X

Well Classic (Mac OS 9.2.2) should be included on the recover disks that came with your Mac.

:( I know I would be using them but I lost the OS 9.2 disk...... I guess there is no way I could slipstream my OS 9 disk with the updates is there?

Why not install 9.0 then update to 9.2.2?

That's exactly what he's trying to do, and it won't work because 9.1 is the minimum for Classic to run in OS X.

Could you not borrow the Classic install disc from a friend? As far as I know, they're the same for each machine.

It's a quicksilver G4 which means it can boot into OS 9, so pop in the OS 9.0 cd, reboot, press C to boot from cd, install OS 9, update to 9.2.2, reboot, choose system folder for classic in OS X, start classic.

That's what I was trying to say above. It seems that he's trying to run the OS 9 installer from within OS X, which obviously isn't going to work since he doesn't have Classic running.

Yes it can boot OS 9 but it has to be OS 9.1 that is the latest OS it will run..... If you try to install 9 it just come up with the question mark folder looking for system files?. I am going to see if my friend has his disk since we got our computers about the same time

    • This Samsung T7 external SSD deal lasts less than a day by Sayan Sen Recently we had covered some nice deals of internal NVMe SSDs which include the 4TB TeamGroup G50 for only $400, the WD_BLACK SN7100 2TB for just $243, as well as the Samsung 990 PRO 1TB for $370. If however you require an external SSD for portability and quick data transfers and have a budget of less than $200 the Samsung T7 1TB model is currently on a limited time deal at just $190, it's lowest price in nearly three months. The deal ends today so you better hurry if you need one (purchase link below). The T7 weighs in at just 72 grams meaning it should be fairly easy to carry around helping in the portability department. Via its USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface the T7 promises sequential read speeds of up to 1050 MB/s and writes of 1000 MB/s. It is also fairly robust with a drop protection of up to 2 meters, though bear in mind that this is not waterproof. For that you will have to choose the rugged T7 Shield. The technical specifications of the Samsung T7 1TB are given in the table below: Specification Value Model Code (1TB) MU-PC1T0T / MU-PC1T0H Interface USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) Dimensions (W × H × D) 85 × 57 × 8 mm Weight 72 g Sequential Read Speed Up to 1,050 MB/s Sequential Write Speed Up to 1,000 MB/s Drop Resistance Up to 2 m (6.6 ft) Encryption AES 256-bit hardware encryption Operating Temperature 0°C to 60°C Non-Operating Temperature -40°C to 85°C Humidity 5% to 95% (non-condensing) Shock Resistance 1,500 G, duration 0.5 ms, 3-axis (non-operating) Vibration Resistance 20–2,000 Hz, 20 G (non-operating) Get it at the link below: Samsung T7 Portable SSD, 1TB External Solid State Drive, MU-PC1T0T/AM, Gray: $189.98 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • I just wish they would put more love into Virtual Desktops. There is just so much more they could do.
    • Sounds like you just skimmed over the review, I answer all those questions in it. Although I admit I did not test if DTS works over the headphones, when I get some time I will test this. My personal use case is more speaker-driven (I cover this in the review too).
    • It actually does the same exact thing as yours, 7.1 virtual surround over headphones. From the product page: "Experience sound that surrounds you with 7.1 virtual surround, delivering a wider, more immersive soundstage for movies, games, and music." So both of them are two channel, with 7.1 virtual surround that only work in Headphones mode.
