Only on some of the G4's. No G5 will boot natively in OS 9, and the last model, perhaps the last two models of G4 only boot in OS X as well. I don't know if they ever got PearPC working on a PowerPC, but remotely you could run an older version of OS X inside that would let you run Classic. IMO Best bet is to just bite the dead, rotting corpse of the bullet and move past Classic already, geez. If you have some app that's both mission critical and hasn't been updated in ten years, do what we do with old old instruments going that need Win95 or WinNT: keep a stack of ancient systems piled up in the back room and cannibalize 'em as needed to keep the working system going as long as you can. Heck..it seems to be working for B-52's, the USAF is flying airframes older than I am. One article I read a while back mentioned a AF captain who was a pilot flying combat missions in the same airplane his father flew in Vietnam. Not the same *class* of aircraft, the very same aircraft. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
