Although the Classic Mac OS remains useful, it’s getting hard to find at a reasonable price. We hope these links help you do so, whether for System 6, Mac OS 9.2.2, or something in between.
According to Apple, the Classic Mac OS is dead (see this video from April 2002), but that’s not really true. It’s still alive and well and being used – just no longer with any support from Apple. At Low End Mac, we continued to use Mac OS 9.2.2 daily well into 2013, albeit via Classic Mode in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.
We’ve scoured the Web in search of online stores that have the Classic Mac OS available, and we’ve found System 6.0.8 on floppies, Mac OS 9.2.2 CDs, and many versions in between. Note that some install CDs are specific to certain computers; we do our best to note that when possible.
We’ve also added links for some software titles for the Classic Mac OS: AppleWorks, Adobe Photoshop, iMovie, and more.

If you have a Mirrored Drive Doors 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.

Classic Mac OS Upgrade Guide
In many instances, Apple offers free downloadable updates to those with earlier versions of the Mac OS. Sometimes this has to be done in multiple steps. The final revision is usually more stable and/or feature complete. Note that you must have a Mac with an Apple floppy drive to create 800K floppies. USB floppy drives only support high density (1.4M) Mac floppies, not 800K diskettes.
