In order to connect Mac OS 9.1 to OS X 10.6 or newer, netatalk on OS X should do. In theory it is possible to install it using Mac Ports (they offer version 2.0.5 supporting AFP v 1.1 through 2.2 and 3.0 + 3.1). A SheepShaver-based system for running Mac OS 9 under OS. With disk image files that have the file extension.dmg,.dsk,.iso, or.toast.

This is a Bootable, Universal Install CD-ROM of Mac OS 9.2.2, US English.

Suitable for G3 & G4 Macintosh models capable of booting from a Classic Mac OS via CD-ROM.

Mac OS CPU Software 4.9, includes the Mac OS ROM file v9.2.1

[Top DL]: The 9.2.2 universal OS installer CD's archive is a .zip compressed .iso image. It is OK to burn this back to CD using ImgBurn on Windows or Disk Utility on Mac OS X, or Toast on Mac OS 9/X. This archive has been tested as working, prior to uploading.

[2nd DL]: These are the ATI drivers as shipped with the G4 eMac 1.0 GHz with 8x combo drive, from 2003, (M8950LL/A). This was perhaps the final production Macintosh able to boot native to a classic 9.x OS and its installed drivers were newer than whats on this universal install CD. If you install the Mac OS 9.2.2 that's here, onto this model eMac (possibly the eMac ATI 800MHz, also) then you should DL and use these drivers, too.

You can install Mac OS 9.2.2 from this CD onto any of the following computers: Power Mac G4, Power Macintosh G3, iMac G3, iBook G3, PowerBook G4, and PowerBook G3 (except the original PowerBook G3).

I have used this to boot up and install to a beige G3 and an eMac G4 OK. This will install onto most early to late model G3 & G4 Macs.

However if the Mac cannot boot into OS 9, e.g: Macs with USB 2.0, then this CD will not be of use (as a bootable System Install CD). Check everymac.com for specs if you are unsure if your Mac is capable of booting to Mac OS 9.2.2 or earlier.
