How can I add Mac System 9 (classic) functionality to my Mac OS X 10.4?
I'm a PC guy ... I just reinstalled Mac OS X 10.4 onto my eMac machine. But I have software that only runs on the Classic version, System 9 (I hope I'm using the correct terminology).
On my Mac OS X 10.4 CD, I was told to look for Support Packages and that I could install the classic version ... but it doesn't seem to be there.
Is there any way I can download the System 9 software/functionality from the Net? Or what are my options?
Thanks

Further follow-up question:
The Sheepshaver installation procedure starts with: "cvs -d ..."
But when I go to Terminal, it says "cvs not found".
How do I install cvs on my Mac OS X machine?

Thanks, roylong and mac guru. Your comments were all very helpful.
How we resolved the issue, since we didn't have the correct CD, was: Since we did have a Mac computer with a System 9 folder installed, we burned that folder onto a CD, and copied it onto the newly-reinstalled machine.

I found my own solution in the end, but the help was very appreciated.

"Run MacOS 9 on an Intel Mac"
I don't think I have an Intel Mac. (How do I determine whether this is an Intel Mac or not?)
