I ran it on either 9.1 or 9.2.2 (can't remember if I was running it off 
of the 7500 with 9.1 or the G3 with 9.2.2) a while back.  It worked just 
fine.  I had to get the GS/OS disk images onto a my Duo 2300 which has a 
floppy drive that writes ProDOS disks just fine.  Was making a set of 
system disks for someone so he could play with his GS.

I think it was probably long enough ago that it was the 7500 with 9.1, 
but the computer look so much alike that I can't remember.  And it was 
before I found out about the program (can't remember the name offhand) 
that could write ProDOS disks on the PowerMac floppy drives.
