Chris replied to Jeremy Clayton-Travis's discussion Classic on a MDG4 in the group Mac OS 9"It's great you are able to boot 9 on those. That must be speedy. I remember my families G4 / 400 that booted 9...that was pure speed. "
Jeremy Clayton-Travis replied to Jeremy Clayton-Travis's discussion Classic on a MDG4 in the group Mac OS 9"I think the thread s about a year old Chris. Your right a lot of computers don't boot into OS9, still have 4 working G4 MDD 1.25 that do and I will stick with those for my )S9 "
Chris replied to Jeremy Clayton-Travis's discussion Classic on a MDG4 in the group Mac OS 9"I know this is quite the old thread, but I was under the impression that the G4 Macs that can boot OS 9 are quite limited. That is, not every G4 Mac will boot OS 9. For example, the G4 Mac Mini. That's OSX only. The iMacs were that way as well,…"

I live in North London and I agree with you that the Cube was one of the best macs made.

Due to illness I…"

Jeremy Clayton-Travis said… Hi Stella,
Forgive me if I don't give you my email address but it's because I am slightly disabled due to Multiple Sclerosis.
I have to be aware that it's a predatory world out there.
I was not aware of me actually writing a profile about myself ?
Perhaps you can tell me what it was I wrote that caught your interest ?
Regards Jeremy
