How do you know that Apple does not monitor this group?

The website to look at is called emaculation.com (or something like it, I've
never been there).

The Yahoo group is the Mac WordPerfect group wordperfectmac(a)yahoogroups.com.

They have links to complete Sheepshaver disk images with MacOS and WordPerfect
but they are much older versions than OS9.

You can use them to install your own copy of OS9, but you need to get it on
your own. You would need the OS 9.0.4 retail (white) disk. The non retail
(included with a system) disks won't work, nor will anything later.

The Yahoo group's disks are clean, but don't expect that anyone else's are.

There are several "Mac emulation kits" floating around on bit torrent,
some of them have infected files. Good thing you can still find a copy of
Disinfectant on the internet and it catches and removes those 15 year old
virusus.

As to finding a disk, I suggest you look around for a Mac User's group,
post on any local free/swap type lists, etc and even post here with your
general location.

Geoff.
