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.

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…
