So I know this is an ironic question considering we're on the eve of another big switch to intel OS based stuff (eventually), but does anyone know where I can get OS 9? I've been looking at torrent sites (simply because I cannot find a single place to buy it) and they are pretty much all down! Let me know if yall have any advice on where to buy/get OS 9. (Pref. 9.2.2 or 9.2.1)
eBay is good, I've seen
MegaMacs advertise carrying 'old' Mac OS discs. (Looks like $50 for 9.2.) Or, as I suggested in another thread, try your local Apple Store or Authorized Apple Reseller. (It is a commercial product, and legally can't be shared, so I won't give you any suggestions on that route.)
Unfortunately, I only have one 9.2.1 disc, otherwise I'd offer to sell you one cheap. (And 9.2.2 discs
only work on the type of machine they came with. The last 'general install' disc was 9.2.1. Likewise, many models released after 9.2.1
require their special 9.2.2 install disc. Finally, OS X-only machines require their 'restore' disc's "Reinstall Classic Environment" option.)
edit: Or you can telephone the Apple Store (900 150 503 in Spain, 1-800-692-7753 "1-800-MY-APPLE" in the U.S.) and get it ($99 in the U.S. store, not sure how much in the European store.)
And the OP never mentioned wanting to run it
on an Intel Mac, just that the request was ironic in light of the switch.
