With regard to the Adobe apps in particular check them to see if they are Carbon apps. I got the whole set of Adobe apps from a Client because they had bought the new versions to use with OS X. Well it turned out the old versions were Carbon so they worked natively in X (as well as OS 9). They will be running under Rosetta but they won't need something like sheep shaver to run. I think if you do get info on the application file in OS 9 it will tell you if it's Carbon. > > First of all, I think I should make a partition of my Intel HD for the > OS 9 > system and the apps I want to move. Correct? Any idea how I figure > out how large to make the partition? Is this the proper way to do it? No point to that. You can't boot OS 9 nor can you use Classic. You'll either need to run them under Sheepshaver or as carbon apps if you can. In either case there would be no point to partitioning. > > Second, how do I go about collecting all the parts of the OS 9 system > and the parts of the individual apps from my iMac 350MHz Blueberry > in order to transfer them to my Intel iMac?

Yup, you want to do it on an iMac. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
