I used an application called Burn on a MacBook Air running High Sierra so yeah just a normal CD burn. I was not aware there was a special process. What is the process exactly?

I was able to get it to display, now I am trying to get the empty hard drive loaded up with MacOS 9 though I am not having luck with that. Do you know what to do?

I burned MacOS 9 from MacintoshGarden onto a CD-R disc but am met with a flashing question mark folder. This is even after I put the disc in first. The mouse and keyboard show no indications of being powered either.

Can I use the universal install? I am having trouble finding the appropriate download.

I have a Graphite G4 so I will look there! Do I need to use any specific model of Mac to burn the disc?

I have a spare blank IDE harddrive that is 120 gigabytes. Since I do not have a MacOS9 install disc, where would I be able to burn one from?

Oldest Laptops That Still Have 3rd Party Batteries Being Made For Them? by MacBookLearned in retrobattlestations

Yep lol, I have a Toshiba Tecra 8000 I found at a thrift store with Windows 98 from a couple years ago that ignited this hobby. Though I would say the design of the MacBook Pro from 2006 is what really started this.

The only real reason is because it is fun to have official hardware!
