If you install the Mac OS 9.2.2 that's here, onto this model eMac (possibly the eMac ATI 800MHz, also) then you should DL and use these drivers, too. This was perhaps the final production Macintosh able to boot native to a classic 9.x OS and its installed drivers were newer than whats on this universal install CD. DL #2: These are the ATI drivers as shipped with the G4 eMac 1.0 GHz with 8x combo drive, from 2003, (M8950LL/A).This archive has been tested as working, prior to uploading. It is OK to burn this back to CD using ImgBurn on Windows or Disk Utility on Mac OS X, or Toast on Mac OS 9/X. DL #1: The 9.2.2 universal OS installer CD's archive is a.Mac OS CPU Software 4.9, includes the Mac OS ROM file v9.2.1 Suitable for G3 & G4 Macintosh models capable of booting from a Classic Mac OS via CD-ROM. Anyway, for your Intel Mac, SheepShaver is your only option so be thankful for Gwenole Beauchesne.This is a Bootable, Universal Install CD-ROM of Mac OS 9.2.2, US English.
It's kinda weird that PPC Macs can run 22 year-old apps while the Intel Macs are limited to 5 years, but that's progress I guess. For whatever reason, Apple decided to kill the Classic mode on Intel-based Macs.
Only problem is a PPC-based Mac is a requirement. However, I would strongly recommend you stick with Apple's Classic mode, as it has much better compatibility, and integrates (almost) seamlessly with OS X. If the System and Applications folders of a non-bootable version of Classic were placed in a disc image and used in a PowerMac emulator, would the image be able to successfully boot OS 9 on the emulator? However, I recall that Mac OS Classic supposedly can be copied entirely to another hard drive by copying the System and Applications folders. Ever since 2003, Apple changed the firmware on their PowerPC machines so that they would no longer be able to boot the included Mac OS 9.2.2 naively.
