with an OS9 install disc, I just checked :-)

Good point.  We have an old G4 tower that we use to boot between the two OSes,
with the Mini just used for development in OSX.    I can't think why Classic
wouldn't do the job, but we prefer to dual boot as we're testing CD/DVD
products as well as web products.  I would have thought a web browser under
Classic would be just fine though.
