Got an OS 9.0 *retail* Disc?
Posted by: l008com on 2016-08-21 02:51:21
I'm looking to round out the holes in my vintage software library (see signature). I'm wondering if anyone has a true original 9.0 disk, not a downloaded copy or a burned copy from an unknown source, and not a system disc that came with a Mac. But a real, actual retail disk... And if so, I'm wondering if you can make a disk image of it and send it to me 🙂 I know at some point, I may get a complaint from Apple about posting the OS 8 and 9 full installers, that ones that were not free updates. But until I get the complaint email from them, I want to keep these old disk images online to keep things as easy as possible when trying to revive an ancient Mac.

I have the 9.2 Retail that came with Mac OS Jaguar in the education kit back in 2002ish. 

I may have a 9.0 copy that my teacher burned for me way back in the day. Before you could torrent or even torrent existed. 

Also just a note, this question borderlines the rules a little bit. Tread carefully!

EDIT: Never mind. I'll post here.

I may have a Mac OS 9.0 disk. It doesn't have any system-specific markings, and may in fact be in an original retail box.

I'll check my workshop tomorrow to see if I still have it....
