But since the Quicksilver 2002 you need special versions of Mac OS 9, that include a very specific ROM file. Thes means, that you cannot use this .pkg Installer for Mac OS X to install a bootable version of Mac OS 9 on such a system. > Some people (me included) keep two different OS9 installations for those > two purposes, for having different set of extensiones and the like, but > it's not mandatory. Classic normally doesn't load extensions, unless you set it so in the Preferences. > Since you will use OS9 just for Classic, don't worry about the above and > install it. Yep, no worries… > It will not alter you OSX installation in any way, AFAIK: the two operating > systems will happily coexists on the same drive, without disturbing each > other. :-) Yes. Full ACK. No worries, since Mac OS 9 will never overwrite or damage anything that is Mac OS X specific. Both use different folders/files.
