Mac OS 9.x, based on Mac OS 8 was the final product based on the classic MacOS architecture. Like previous version, it lacks true protected memory or pre-emptive multitasking. MacOS 9 was abandoned in favor of of the Unix-ish NextStep/Openstep based Mac OS X.

    Actually this version of Mac OS 9 can run under the classic environment. Tested on QEMU

    Imgburn (and maybe others) complains about this being a bad iso. PowerISO (and hopefully others) burned it fine.
    Afterward, I was able to successfully boot and install this on a Power Macintosh 7100.
    Yea, the computer kinda sucks, but the image seems to work!

    The mouse glitches (the cursor always teleports into a corner of the screen when i move it to somewhere) when trying to install this on QEMU. I'm using version 5.1.92 on Windows 7.

    The Mac OS 9.1 ISO isn't bad at all!

    While messing around with Mac OS9.1 in Qemu PPC, I connected to the internet via Netscape 7.0.

    While surfing various websites, with varying degrees of success (WinWorld is accessible), on reaching the Macintosh Repository website you're greeted with this message:

    "Wow! You're actually browsing this website using an old Mac!"

    "Macintosh Repository salutes you!
    SSL has been deactivated for you."

    Kind of gives you a warm feeling!
