When I double click an OS 9 program I get a message that says "Classic can not find an OS 9 System folder to use."
I just checked and do not see any option for installing an OS 9 on any of the three OS X install disks. When I formatted the drive I THINK I installed the OS 9 drivers but I'm not sure. I guess I'm going to have to go back and reformat and reinstall everything. Unless you or someone else has a better idea. Thanks.
