I have an old OS9 native application that I need to demo for someone. Unfortunately, I don't have any machines that run OS9 or a version of OSX that still supports Classic. What are my options?
I really appreciated the advice.

If it's an Intel Mac, you can use Sheep Shaver but I hear it works like crap.

Reinstall Tiger on some drive or volume. I still have a Tiger volume on my G5's backup drive.

I can do that. Will the Classic in tiger run on Intel-based Macs?

Generally yes, but that doesn't mean you can run classic on an intel Mac

That sounds like a no - but does anyone know for sure whether you can run Classic on an Intel Mac?

May I ask what app you need to demo to somebody (and why somebody wants a demo of an at least 7 or 8 year old app)? There must be a modern equivalent.

You'd be correct in understanding my post. Intel Macs cannot and will not run the classic environment period. There is something call sheepshaver that allows you, but its pretty buggy and a little difficult to get up and running.
