[QUOTE="Avalon, post: 49876, member: 5184"] Classic is sort of an emulator, in which OS9 runs, but OS X still controls the hardware. If you boot in OS9 (which the newer Macs don't do anymore) it's OS9 that controls the hardware, thus it needs driver to do so. As Apple stopped the OS9 development, there's little chance that OS9 would be bootable on those newer Macs that aren't OS9 bootable. It's not a crack you need to do so, but the necessary hardware driver for the newer hardware, which Apple won't supply. Badger has a very good knowledge about the different Macs, so if he tells you it won't boot in OS9, it won't. [/QUOTE]
