So I received my black MacBook over a week ago and have been very happy with it. I lost a significant amount of money on my only months old PowerBook in the transition, but that's how it goes.
I have a few classic-capable machines at home but I'd like to be able to run classic while on the go for a couple apps; that requires Sheepshaver. I have 9.2.2 install discs from my PowerMac, but Sheepshaver requires 9.0.4 or less -- so I could work with any 9.0.x install discs I suppose.
Can anyone help me out? Since I already own 9.2.2 I don't really consider this warezing, and it's in the gray area of abandonware as it is (Apple doesn't even let you buy OS 9 anymore, much less a pre-9.2.2 version).
-
Even if it is abandonware, it is still illegal. This forum could get shut down for a trade of an item that is many years old and completely unsupported. Sucks, don't it? I wonder how much of OS9 is still in OSX? Is it really enough for Apple to bother enforcing its copyright?
-
I wonder what would happen if you asked Apple...

There's some places that'll still sell you OS 9. I can't recall where exactly (argh!) but it was selling for $20. It didn't say which version of 9 exactly, though.

If you can't find someone to help you out, there's some going on ebay (http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?sofocus=bs&sbrftog=1&from=R10&satitle=mac+os+9.0.4&sacat=-1%26catref%3DC6&bs=Search&fsop=1%26fsoo%3D1&coaction=compare&copagenum=1&coentrypage=search&fgtp=&sargn=-1%26saslc%3D2&sadis=200&fpos=ZIP%2FPostal&ftrt=1&ftrv=1&saprclo=&saprchi=).
Not sure if they'll ship it out to New Babylon though ;)
