Mac OS 9.2.2 running on the Ruby iMac G3. Filmed by me with Stephanie's iPod Touch. Altough, there is a newer version of Mac OS 9.2.2 universal boot disk compiled in 2013 that is supposed to support most G3 and G4 models, it really doesn't boot a lot of them, while this 2002 one does.

FineCompatibility
Architecture: PPC

You can install from this CD onto any of the following computers: Power Mac G4, Power Macintosh G3, PowerBook G4, PowerBook G3 (except the original PowerBook G3), iMac, and iBook.

I assume that when the above compatibility rating was written there are newer G4's this will not boot up and install to. For example; the Mirror Door G4 & G4 eMac or any late model G4 that shipped with either Mac OS 9.2.2 or can run 9 in Classic mode only.

Q: I have installed a USB PCI card in my beige PowerMac G3 (or any other Power Macintosh computer without built-in USB ports) running Mac OS 9.2.2, but the card is not working / not recognized by the system. What can I do?
A: This problem is often caused by one of the following three issues -
1.) A Mac OS installer only installs the USB extensions that are necessary to use an USB adapter card if USB ports are present on the computer at the time of installation. This would apply if the USB PCI card was installed after installing the operating system.
2.) Several reports in the past have indicated that the USB extensions that come with Mac OS 9.2.2 may not always work on computers without built-in USB ports.
3.) USB Adapter Card Support 1.4.1 is not intended for use with Mac OS 9.1 or higher. If the 1.4.1 USB extensions have been installed anyway, this can be the reason why the USB card is not working. (From the ReadMe-document: 'Mac OS versions 9.1 and later include a later version of this software. Installing USB Adapter Card Support 1.4.1 over Mac OS 9.1, 9.2 or later could result in the USB adapter card not working.')
The common solution to the three issues above is to install the following USB extensions (that were included in Mac OS 9.1):

  • Serial ShimLib 1.4.6
  • USB Device Extension 1.4.6

  • USB Support 1.4.6

You can use a utility called TomeViewer to extract these extensions from either the Mac OS 9.1 download update or a (retail) Mac OS 9.1 CD.

To install them, open System Folder > Extensions, move any earlier or later versions of these extensions that might be present to the Desktop (you can delete them once your USB card is working) and drag-and-drop the extracted extensions to the Extensions-folder.

Then restart the computer to activate the new extensions.


If the USB card is not recognized after installing the new extensions, resetting the PRAM and/or resetting the CUDA chip might help.
