The "classic" Mac OS is dead, according to Apple, but that's not quite true. It's still alive and well and being used - just no longer with any support from Apple.
We've scoured the Web in search of online stores with the Classic Mac OS available, and we've found everything from System 6.0.8 on floppies through Mac OS 9.2.2 CDs. Note that some install CDs are specific to certain computers; we note that when possible.
If you have a Mirror Drive Door Power Mac G4 or a PowerBook G4 with DVI output, be sure to look for the 2002 version of the Mac OS 9.2.2 install CD. The 2001 version predates these models and will not create a bootable system for them, although it will create a system that can be used in Classic Mode.
Note that you can download System 6.0.8 and 7.5.3 (plus the 7.5.5 update) from Apple. See our Classic Mac OS Downloads and Updates for links and more information.
For prices on Mac OS X, see:
Intel-based Macs and Mac OS X 10.5 and higher do not support Classic Mode.
