Software for a vintage Mac
Wednesday, April 25, 2007 / Mac OS 9 / Classic, Software
My vintage Mac runs on OS9… in order run the Bell South software I need 2.3- is there anyway that I can get a copy of the necessary update?
I have a 10 yr old OS 9 Mac… I need 9.2.3 as I have been told by apple that my Mac does not have enough memory to run OS X 10.0
Bell South must be a little confused. There was never a version of OS 9.2.3, the highest was 9.2.2. Here is a link to all the free downloads of OS 9 available:

The problem you may have is that OS 9.1 is the highest OS you can install on a Pre-G3 Mac.
Here is a link to Apple’s OS 8 and OS 9 compatibility chart:

The difference between Mac OS 9.1 and 9.2.2 is not too significant, I think you could update to OS 9.1 and use their software without any problems.
