You could use a 1GHz TiBook. Those will still run 9.2.2. I have an 867MHz and a 1GHz TiBook, and they're great mobile OS 9 workstations.

The vast majority of programs work in Classic; the only one I remember that benefitted from booting OS 9 was SuperCollider 2/3.


Sure, they'll work, and that's why 10.4 is my preferred version of OS X on PowerPC. But OS 9 on the raw metal is a lot faster, and some apps don't work quite right in Classic (mostly games).

Classic is still heaps better than any emulator, of course, not least of which being the excellent system integration.

For the record, I run SuperCollider 3.4 on 10.4, and I intentionally bought an MDD new back in the day because it could still dual boot. It has a Sonnet dual 1.8GHz G4 in it now.
