The Mac OS was designed by Apple as the operating system for their Macintosh range of computers. The first Mac OS, originally known as System Software, was introduced with the first Macintosh in 1984. Over the years the original Mac OS was developed, improved and expanded until Mac OS 9 in 2001. For version 10 Apple reworked the Mac OS around a UNIX core and this is known as Mac OS X.

How do you downgrade from Mac OS X to Mac OS 9?

You cannot without erasing your hard drive and installing Mac OS 9 from scratch. Even then Mac OS 9 may not run on modern Mac hardware because Mac OS 9 needs the ROM chip to boot. Modern Mac OS X hardware uses EFI to boot the system instead of a ROM chip to boot. Mac OS X v10.0 - Mac OS X v10.4 support Mac OS 9 applications and can run them, you just need to install the Mac OS 9 compatibility program which can be found on the Mac OS X Install CD.
