Besides SheepShaver, you could make a small partition on your hard drive, and install Tiger and OS 9 on it. When you need Classic you can reboot into the Tiger partition and fire it up. Rebooting to get to Classic would be a bit of a pain in the butt, I agree, but if Boot Campers can do it to get to Windows... -- K. Lang may your lum reek.

Why reboot into Tiger to get to Classic? If you are going to reboot anyway, might as well reboot to straight OS 9 -- Wes Groleau Guidelines for judging others: 1. Don't attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity. 2. Don't attribute to stupidity that which can be adequately explained by ignorance. 3. Don't attribute to ignorance that which can be adequately explained by misunderstanding.

I will look into SheepSaver. Thanks to everyone for the suggestion. Bill |
