I&#x27;m trying to restore mac OS 9.2 on my still working iBook G4. I am ordering old CDs to see if I can restart the system. It has an Mac OS X Tiger installation that is blocking.

CodeWarrior was such a cool name. I wish Apple kept it over Xcode :)

Awesome awesome awesome awesome, love reading about these retro hacking adventures. Huge props to the author!
