Managing Classic Preferences
You use Classic Preferences to set Classic startup options, assign a Classic System Folder, set sleep options for the Classic environment, and make specific Apple menu items available to users.
The Classic System Folder is a Mac OS 9 System Folder that contains the Mac OS 9 operating system. When users run Classic applications, they are running Mac OS 9 from the Classic System Folder.
Classic can be run on Mac OS X v10.4 or earlier.
