Using system picker or system switcher you can just install 2
operating system on the same hard disk and switch between them
whenever you like...
My personal experience with mac os 8 on the 68040 is that it was not
very stable. I did like it on the ppc macs though... For the ppc's it
was kind of a relieve after all the crashes we went through in the
system 7 era.
I once heard that in the darkest days of Apple's history (somewhere
between 7.5 and 7.5.2) they had only 6 people or so working on the
operating system...
They started to get their act together again after that, and build
System 7.5.3, which was a major blessing back then...
It took them another 3 or 4 years to reach the pre 1990 OS stability...
