Go to the Apple menu (upper left corner of your screen), go down to System Preferences. Look at the bottom line in the window (System). Look for the item "Startup Disk." Click on this. The operating systems that are present will show up in the window (may take a few moments). If OS 9 is there, you can click on it, then select "Restart," and the machine will boot into 9. If you do have OS 9 on the machine, do you need to boot into 9 or can you operate in Classic? If you can utilize the latter, you can just choose to start Classic. Then you can remain booted into OS X and use Classic for legacy applications when necessary. Michelle ----------------------- Michelle K.
