Starting Classic applications
When Classic starts it uses an available Mac OS 9.1 system. If you have Mac OS 9.1 installed on
more than one disk, use Classic preferences to choose the one Classic uses. You can also start
Classic or have it start automatically when Mac OS X starts.
Finding your Classic software and documents
If you install Mac OS X on the same disk or disk partition as your Mac OS 9 system, your Classic
applications and documents are in the same folders where they were located before you installed
Mac OS X.
