[DM-MUG] Can anyone here help?

[CW Smith]

Is this a G4 mini or an Intel mini (Core Solo, Core Duo)? The original
poster doesn't say.

If it's an Intel Mac, it will *not* run Classic. Ever. Period. Sorry.

If it's a G4 mini, then yes, OS 9 should be on the Install disc.

Hope this is more helpful than not.

Peace,
CW
