While not as aesthetically pleasing compared to present-day operating systems, Mac OS 9 was sleek, super responsive, and a joy to use. Long before modern macOS versions, and even predating Apple’s use of the “OS X” and “Mac OS X” monikers, there was Mac OS 9. I supervised a few women who used early mainframe computers programmed via paper tape to test samples from the production runs.Apple + Intego + Recommended + Software & Apps Mac OS 9: Some Love for the Classics! Most of my theory courses involved tubes through the "NEW" technology of the transistor!! I only became involved with IC's because I was working evenings as the supervisor in QC in one of the early IC manufacturing plants. When I was in college, IC's were brand new. My old BS/EE is about useless these days. Ah the life of a Mac owner, who is at present in the early stages of studying for the Apple Support Tech exams. I'd never done an install that way and experience is better than theory any day. I could have used the OS 10.5 installer DVD directly, but wanted to try the iso via thumb drive option as a test. I made a boot drive iso of 10.5 (using Toast Titanium) and used it on a thumb drive to install into the PB.

This link explains how to fool your ROM and the OS 10.5 installer so that it will install on the older PBs. Looks like just what I need for the old girl. Thanks for the USB WiFi adapter recommendation.
