Look on eBay, that's the best you'll get...
And yeah, all the versions came on standalone CDs, but most sales come with the comptuer  |

Older versions of Mac OS X might be available on the internet, I guess... somewhere like ebay. Apple themselves don't appear to sell old copies of even Panther now, it's all Tiger... so you'd have to look at alternate sales points (as already mentioned, ebay) to obtain a copy.
Although considering that OS X generally comes with a machine; it might be difficult to find OS X 10.2 as a standalone? |

I just got this rather interesting old clone with OS 9.1 on it. However, my latest system disc is 7.5. I'd have a huge problem if anything went wrong later. According to the system requirements, OS X 10.2 should work, but newer ones won't. It doesn't have a DVD drive or even built-in USB. About the specs:
Brand- UMAX CPU- 339 MHZ G3 (there appears to be an empty 2nd slot right next to it) RAM- 160MB, using 4 of it's 8 168-pin slots. Form Factor- ATX, has an AT power connector though. HDD- Quantum SCSI (50 pin wide?) with 600-700MB free, I don't know the total capacity. CD- Generic, not sure of it's brand. I have a CD-RW drive which might work, if the pinout is just like on x86 SCSI cards. Network- Has either 10 or 100 speed Ethernet USB- None on board. I just put in a Belkin PCI card, but the drivers aren't installed. It's manual says to get USB Adaptor Card Support on Apple's website. This thing has a lot of upgrade potential. 2nd CPU, fill up the memory slots, add more SCSI devices... A lot of multimedia applications are installed, whoever used to own it clearly didn't play games. No problem though. It's able to handle Theme Park, Myst, and Doom very fast! I'll find one that'll push the limit eventually. So, where can I find a system CD which is best suited by these above specs? 9.1 runs fine now, I'd like to avoid hassles before they happen though. I might get one of those Intel Macs if they'll run OS X and Windows in dual booting. I'm still a newbie to the Mac platform. |
