Here's the error I get:

"You can't open the application 'HermesII359.sea' because the Classic environment is no longer supported."

The little Mac Mini I'm trying to run it on is a 512K PowerPC G4 running Mac OS X 10.5.8.

If I knew where to get it, I'd be willing to put Mac OS 9 on this machine if it'd run the BBS.

That's too bad. I know I ran it on my Powerbook G4 years ago under OSX Tiger I believe. I thought Leopard continued to support the classic mode, but maybe not.

I found a copy of Mac OS 9, but after 8 tries (literally!!) I cannot get the computer to boot to the CD.

I turn off the machine, wait about 45 seconds, then hold down the 'C' key while it boots, but it ALWAYS boots to OS X 10.5.8.

Suggestions?

Thanks

MacOS 9 and earlier isn't supported on the G4/G5 models of any Mac. You can, however, install OS X 10.4.11 and run MacOS 9 in Classic mode under OS X. Works pretty great as far as I can remember, been a couple of years since I used it.

It did, yes, but sinc the info pack is in a ZIP file, gMail kicked the email back as being undeliverable. Do you have another email address that I could send the info pack to by any chance?

Yeah, I was told this very same thing, but I have been so busy with work lately
that I have not had a chance to even do this small task. Will hopefully get
chance to do it sometime today.

Send it to wx1der@yahoo.com -- while I also have the BBS address of daryl.stout@wx1der.dyndns.org -- I think I have a glitch in my email
settings.

Thanks. I've been offline since Thursday night, due to a lack of power
and internet, from severe storms and flooding that affected the area.
I'm OK, but there are a lot of downed trees and power lines around.
