It does work for me, but an illegal instruction error took place when the desktop showed up. I could not do anything after the crash. Mac OS 9 does hang sometimes earlier in the boot process, so the above results are not consistent. My info: Image: Mac OS 9.2.1 (Cormac's image) Macsbug 6.6.3 Host: Mac OS 10.6
