What do you need Classic for? There are some older apps that cannot work in Classic, and require a Mac booted natively to OS 9. (or you can downgrade to 10.4 - and Classic will work) The only use for an OS 9 system will be if that Mac can boot natively to OS 9. There's no Classic support, and it won't run. This all will not work with OS X 10.5 (Leopard). OS 9 will boot into its own window, and you will have the OS 9-type menus on the top of the screen. You may need to select the OS 9 System folder from within that pane. Open that Classic pane, and click the Start Classic button. Open the System Preferences, and you should see the Classic pref pane. The only folder that you need to make Classic work, is the one name 'System Folder'. A G3 iMac is great.Ĭopy the folders on the hard drive to a USB drive.

Your eMac is too new to boot to OS 9, therefore you can't install OS 9 that way. Problem is, you need the OS 9 system installed, before you can open the Classic environment. You run the emulator, then run the installer for the guest system from within the emulator. Your eMac cannot boot to OS 9, and there's a 'catch-22' there.
