Greetings One and All. Need some info/advice/guidance on moving some of my OS 9 apps to my OS X 10.5.8 Leopard (soon to be Snow Leopard). I can't afford to buy new apps like this, so must use the OS 9 ones that I have had for quite a while. I don't know if/how I can do this, hence the request for assistance. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Here's what I want to do: Move OS 9 apps Adobe Illustrator 8.0, Adobe PhotoShop 5.0, and if possible, QuarkExpress 4.0 onto my Intel iMac 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo with 2G's of RAM and a 298GB hard drive. I may want to move some fonts over as well. Is it even possible to do this? First of all, I think I should make a partition of my Intel HD for the OS 9 system and the apps I want to move. Correct? Any idea how I figure out how large to make the partition? Is this the proper way to do it? Second, how do I go about collecting all the parts of the OS 9 system and the parts of the individual apps from my iMac 350MHz Blueberry in order to transfer them to my Intel iMac? Is there a certain order in which I should do things? Third, I'm still looking at various emulators, such as SheepShaver, to run the OS 9 apps on my Intel. I see that there are both pros and cons to some of these, so I need some experienced guidance on what one I should use. Also, will whatever emulator I decide to go with open and run ALL these OS 9 apps, or do I have to do something unique for each app.? Fourth, I think, from what I have seen here and elsewhere, that I need to do a "boot" into OS 9 whenever I want to use one of those apps. Correct? How do I do that? I seem to have read somewhere, probably here, that you hold down a key when re-starting the iMac, but I'm not sure. Guidance please? Fifth, is this the correct list to be posting this on? Thanks for all your help in past incidents I've encountered, and thanks in advance for any help you can give me on this adventure.
