I have a Wallstreet PDQ with OS 9.2.2 on it. I have several files on it that I would like to print and manage a bit, perhaps play with some old programs while I am at it. Often, I wished I could run OS9 from a faster platform and larger screen.
When I stumbled onto the site macos9lives after watching the YouTube installation, I had found the perfect use for my trusty ol' MacMini 1.5 GHz G4. I blew the dust off of the mini and downloaded the Bootable ISO v8 and followed the instructions to install on my MacMini with success!
Last night, I had both my MacMini and Wallstreet PDQ on my current existing home network via ethernet. Started File Sharing after setting it up, and with great success was able to move my files and apps from the Wallstreet PDQ over to the MacMini. Everything seems to be running OK except MacDraw II 1.1 (which runs ok on my Wallstreet PDQ but looks weird when launched on MacMini). I would love to figure out this issue as MacDraw was one of the main programs that I like to play with.
My files for Word, Excel, PowerPoint 2001 seem to all work fine.
I was never able to get the resolution to setup right with my 1920x1080 Samsung Monitor/TV. Once I set the Samsung to 4:3 resolution and set up a corresponding resolution (4:3) in monitors control panel, the OS 9 desktop looks terrific.
Just sharing the experience here...
