[DM-MUG] Compatibility with OS 9

[Matthew Wheeler]

Sure it is possible. If the drive is less than 8 GB's it's even easy. 
Larger than 8 and it's not hard, but it takes a few extra steps to 
partition the drive. OS X will only install on the first partition if 
it's smaller than 8 GB's.

I'd recommend 256 MB's of RAM, and make sure you check the firmware 
before install. Don't expect incredible performance but it should work. 
I'd go with Panther (10.3.x) and iPhoto 4.01.

You'll also have to upgrade your Classic system to 9.1 (if not higher) 
to use it under X.
