Mac 10.3 - G4's - Classic 9.1 & 9.2.2

Hi, All

Yep, I know I already asked but I have a little more information.

First, has anyone tried to install 10.3 (Panther) on a G4 and then
install Classic 9.x.x? If yes, did it work? Here is why I ask this
particular question. Upon some more research I have found a small note
written on a pdf installation guide. It reads " On some computers, you
cannot install Mac OS 9 or start up the computer using Mac OS 9."

I experimented on this in this manner. I tried to install 9.1 and it
would not install, regardless. I found a 9.2.2 version of classic and it
installed on 10.3 but would not start up under 10.3. I then tried to
boot straight into 9.2.2 by changing the boot options in preferences. It
would not boot into anything and I ended up re-installing the original
software when the machine was purchased (10.1 and classic 9.2.2).

Like most of you, we need to have both 10.3 and classic to access and
use the software we have and certain financial web accesses (new payroll
programs?) that are requiring 10.3. Otherwise we have to come up with
the extra funds to upgrade a lot of programs to work under 10.3 (i.e.
Microsoft Office and Filemaker Pro to name two) .

I am a little disappointed that those who instituted this new payroll
program didn't research the repercussions to departments and gave such
little lead time (July 1st was the deadline). As for us, coming up with
the funds to upgrade our software is difficult...ops off the soapbox...

Anyway, this is the reason for my question on the G4's. If someone has
installed both 10.3 and classic, I need to know the process unless it
turns out that the G4's are one of those machines where OS 9 will not
intall/start up when 10.3 is installed.

As always, any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Charles
