I have an older PowerPC G4. It has a fast processor, enough RAM and hard drive space to install Leopard.
I also know that I can start up my Mac from a Firewire connected hard drive if it has an operating system on it. I'd hold down the OPTION key at startup and I have a choice to select what drive/OS to start from.
I know that Leopard (Mac OS 10.5) does not support Classic (Mac OS 9) Mode.
If I have OS 10.5 on the G4's internal HD, and have OS 10.4 & 9 installed on my external Firewire HD, can I start up from the external OS 9 or 10.4 when I want to? then switch back (by restarting) in Leopard? Or am I locked in to Leopard forever?
I guess their question could apply to G5's, too.
Not a bad question, I thought, unfortunately I don't know the answer. Do you?
