Nope. Classic *is* MacOS 9 running in a VM, so anything MacOS 9 can
do, it can - including running MC68K code. Well, OK, not everything -
you have no real native desktop and not all drivers work, or make

Peace... ?Sridhar
An earlier version of OSX/x86 with Rosetta Stone? But that would run
PPC/OSX binaries, not Mac OS 9 stuff, right? ?Classic itself was deprecated in 10.5
Deprecated?
TTBOMK it was not present in Leopard at all.
By the way, Rosetta Stone is a series of language
education software; Rosetta is the framework for PPC compatibility under Intel processors.
?Slight difference, but I don't think any software is going to run under Rosetta
Stone. :-)
I did wonder about that!
