Apple iMac G4/800 (Flat Panel) questions...

[XDelusion]

I have an Apple iMac G4/800 (Flat Panel), and spent a very long while trying to get OS 9 to install on it so I could access classic apps under Classic Mode.

I tried every single trouble shooting advice page I could find and nothing worked. Then I come to find that with this Mac, Apple killed support for OS 9, though the page that told me this also told me that I can access classic apps via emulation mode.

OK, so how do I access emulation mode? I really want to be able to run Rebirth.


My second problem is...

WHERE IS THE AUDIO IN JACK?

I see a head phone jack, and a strange plug beside that with a strange symbol above it, but no audio in port!

REALLY, did Apple cheap out a whole 5 Cents and not include an Audio In port?

And they say Musicians love Mac. Pffftt! :/

So far it detects my USB sound card as a faulty keyboard

I've looked high and low for such disks, no luck...

I lucked out, one of my USB Audio Cards actually detected, though without OS 9 I can not run Rebirth, which is a major bummer!!! :/

I even downloaded the OS X version of Rebirth and it tells me I need to go into classic mode. Go figure.
