You will be able to buy Macs that boot into OS9 in 2003 but I'm
expecting that they will be the ones shipped in 2002. My understanding
has been that Apple is planning on changing the ROM so that OS9 booting
isn't possible. I guess the currant Macs usefulness as an Apple II
peripheral will be almost gone at that point.
