remember if 10.5 supports the classic environment or not. i tried
checking the apple website, and found two articles that seem to
contradict one another. one says no classic in 10.5, the other
implies there is.
Classic is gone under 10.5, the mention of 10.5 in that KB article
is absolutely in error.
You can install OS 9.0.4 or lower in Sheepshaver
<http://sheepshaver.cebix.net/>.
I've found Sheepshaver to be sluggish and/or crashy - depending on
what apps you're trying to use. IMO, best to run a test or to name
the specific apps involved and hope someone on these lists can
confirm that those particular apps are ok or not...
FWIW,
