Another #retrocomputing question:

My "new" old iBook G4 has a 120GB hard disk, which is entirely allocated to Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard". I want to set aside 10 or 20 GB for Mac OS 9.2.2 "Classic". I can boot from CD into Mac OS 9.

Now I need a tool to resize the partition, preferably without destroying the Mac OS X partition.

I disabled journaling on the start drive and tried the following:
1. resizing with disktool
2. resizing with iPartition

Both don't work.

(1/2)

As I said it’s snappy. That’s the internet we had decades ago. The connection speed improved massively but now it’s full of heavy crap that would kill this machine (if it even loaded).

Note that’s on an unsupported 1.5Ghz G4 Mini so pretty much one of the fastest possible OS 9 machines.

I’d love to test this on my clamshell G3 iBook but it’s in a box on another continent …

Remembering Graphing Calculator [1] in today's macOS… I always loved how quickly it plotted inequalities…

Reminder of the Graphic Calculator story [2] (which shipped with all initial PowerPC computers, and then some) courtesy of @timbray. Not sure if @RonAvitzur is still active on the fediverse…

heres a 303 Day tip that im sure is relevant to a lot of people in 2025: how to streamline your ReBirth RB-338 startup on Mac OS 9 😎 pulusound.fi/blog/quickly-laun #303day #RetroComputing #MacOS9 #Marchintosh

pulusound.fiquickly launch ReBirth on Mac OS 9!it's 303 day, and you would like to fire up ReBirth RB-338 on your Mac running OS 9 in order to write an acid banger. ReBirth's copy protection requires the installation media to be present in order for the program to start, and you know that optical drives don't last forever, so you've ripped your 100% legally owned CD-ROM to a disk image file. but you are annoyed by the tedium of having to mount the disk image, click skip on the checksum verification (since it takes a while), and then finally open ReBirth.
