Tiger definitely supports OS 9 running in Classic or however one says this. The Take Control ebook correctly states that the Tiger DVD or CDs do not contain OS 9 installers. If you have OS 9 installed on a separate volume an Erase and Install of Tiger will have not effect your Classic/OS9 environment. >Incidently TidBits considered advice is that most users should upgrade >using the Erase and Install method - provided they have a second Firewire >drive to back up to. The author of the Take Control ebook suggests that with Tiger the Erase and Install has become a much more viable method BECAUSE new with Tiger is the File Transfer (a.k.a. "migration technonology") feature. However, File Transfer apparently does not transfer the OS 9 folders - at least I could not find that it did in my reading of the Take Control book.
