    Basilisk and Sheep Shaver. It takes some work. The last version of Classic that can be run as an emulator is 9.0.4. Do NOT go past this or it will hang and crash at boot. You must have a bootable

    cd or images of OS 8 or 9, plus some other things.

    Go here and read. He has current links to all the parts. I have Sheepshaver with iCab. It will still go on the internet.

    There is no way around it since your system is not powered by a PowerPC based processor. The new system uses a x86-64 processor from Intel which can not run in Classic mode to support pre-OSX applications.
