Oh. That looks hard. I don't even know how to take control of the 0x80 interrupt. However, here are some ideas for alternatives. Virtual Parallels has Coherence; Virtual Box has Seamless Mode; VMware has Unity. (I don't use these, so check out what I say.) The capability is roughly the same.

The inability to open HC stacks disappeared with LC 7. You can still open them in LC 6, save the stack, and then work with it in later versions. I'm not sure what we'll do in Catalina when LC 6 won't run any more. I also sometimes use Chubby Bunny to emulate OS 9 and look at HC stacks there,
