Where can I go to download all those old OS 9 goodies (extentions, apps, utilities)?

Hello! I am buying an old G4 off of ebay and want to do a fresh install of just OS 9, as there are some things that I can only do in Logic for OS 9. Is there any awesome OS 9 go-to website that has everything I would need to restore a fully functional OS 9 system? It's been a while since I've used OS 9, but I remember that things were quite different from OS X. I would be looking for updates, extentions (remember those?), apps, utilities, etc. Any good sources? Thanks!

    I thought the old system software was available via a download at Apple.com. But, this was some time ago...

    I have an original OS 9 disk, and the 9.2 update, along with an OS 9 compatible Windows Media Player, on another disk.
