	Mac OS 9 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mac OS 9 was the last version of the classic Mac OS, the operating system of the Apple Macintosh computer, which was widely used in the late 1990s, as the successor to Mac OS 8, up until the debut of Mac OS X in 2001.
		The final death knell for Mac OS 9 came in June 2005, when Steve Jobs announced that the Macintosh platform would be transitioning to Intel x86 microprocessors; the developer documentation for the Rosetta PowerPC emulation layer explicitly states that applications written for Mac OS 8 or 9 will not run on x86-based Macs.
		Mac OS 9 is not yet classed as abandonware, as it is still in wide use by those who cannot upgrade to Mac OS X due to hardware limitations.

	OS-9 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The OS-9 family was popular for general-purpose computing and remains in use in commercial embedded systems and amongst hobbyists.
		This allows the entire OS and all applications to be placed in ROM or Flash memory.
		In 1999, nineteen years after the first release of OS-9, Apple Computer released Mac OS 9.

		Although OS X has eclipsed it in terms of reliability and compatability (and largely caught up in speed), OS 9 is still a great choice if you have older hardware and don't need the most recent software.

		Code-named Fortissimo, Mac OS 9.1 is a collection of bug fixes and primarily minor feature improvements to Mac OS 9.
		Sources indicated that Mac OS 9.1 should perform on par with its predecessor, although some changes, such as a native processor manager, may give a slight performance increase to some tasks.
		Fortissimo is being distributed to developers as a 300 MB image in nearly 30 parts, although a free, downloadable update is expected to be available when the software is finalized, with current indications pointing to a release date some time in November or early December.

	Mac OS 9
		Mac OS 9 can be installed on any Macintosh that originally shipped with a PowerPC processor that has at least 32 megabytes of physical RAM and a minimum of 40 megabytes of logical RAM (virtual memory is set to 64 by default if there is less than 64 megabytes of physical RAM installed).
		The installer script for Mac OS 9 supports the concept of "Feature Sets" that allow users to select different kinds of installations beyond "for this computer" and "universal." These new installation types are tailored to suit the needs of particular interest groups such as, for example, Education, Business, or Gaming.
		The Mac OS 9 Finder does not allow icon positioning by way of AppleScript for icons appearing in icon views where either the "keep arranged" or the "snap to grid" option is turned on.

	David Pogue's 'Mac OS 9: The Missing Manual' Reviewed
		Having reviewed Gene Steinberg's "Mac OS 9: The Complete Reference" (Osborne/McGraw-Hill) here last month, it is impossible for me not to compare the two books, which on the surface seem to be addressing the same need.
		My OS 9 boot partition is just 320 MB (too small, by the way; I should have gone 500 MB), and Disk First Aid takes plenty of time just examining it after crashes.
		In summary, David Pogue's "Mac OS 9: The Missing Manual" delivers on its promise to be "the book that should have been in the box." Particularly if you are in Mac novice, this book will be well worth the modest $19.95 expenditure.

		For some time, Apple continued to sell a limited number of models with OS 9, primarily for schools and some business customers.
