Installation and configuration tips
- Backup existing data before installing or testing.
- When installing on real hardware, disconnect unnecessary peripherals and use the Mac’s firmware utilities to reset PRAM if you encounter boot issues.
- If migrating data from a newer Mac, transfer via network protocols (TCP/IP file sharing) or removable media that both systems can read; many modern filesystems and USB thumb drives may not be readable by System 9 without utilities.
- Classic extensions and control panels can conflict; use the Extensions Manager (if present) to isolate problematic extensions.
