There is a program to supply OS 9.2 CD's to purchasers of OS X. The
current link for OS X 10.3 is the following:

<http://images.apple.com/macosx/upgrade/pdf/MacOS_9.2_Upgrade_Form_v3.pdf>

Don't know if that will help you, you need one of the Proof of Purchase
coupons that come with OS X to get it at the $20 price. They may still
honor 10.2 coupons, you would have to check with Apple. You would also
need to check and see if they are still fulfilling the offer, the PDF
had a closing date of March 1st this year. But it is possible, Apple
extended the offer to 10.2 purchasers to quite a few months after the
original ending date for that offer. There used to be a program for
buying replacement copies of the original software for Mac systems, but
I could not find any current link.
