What a load of baloney. The changes that OS X needs to make to the OS 9 System are such that allow OS 9 to function properly as Classic within OS X. Otherwise Classic will not run. Theses additions were of course not included with Mac OS 9 prior to OS X. Restarting in OS 9, on OS 9 bootable machines, is not affected by these changes, which are mainly the following System Folder additions: Classic Support UI Classic Support Classic Panels Login. I have never heard of any applications being incompatible with a Classic OS 9 'changed' system as opposed to an OS 9 'unchanged'. But if you are really worried you could partition your drive and keep and old OS 9 partition as well as an OS X & 9 (Classic) partition We have done many upgrade to Mac OS X for customers and allow the 'changes' to take place. All the previously working OS 9 applications continue to work in Classic. Perhaps you have some other hard drive or database problems that are exacerbated by your upgrade to Mac OS X.
