Besides Maconverter there are other useful utilities available at www.soft-rabbit.com that are still reliant upon OS9 (and will probably always be OS9 only). I have never made a partition strictly for OS9 and it doesn't really seem to be necessary contrary to other messages I've read. I currently boot into the latest version of OSX only and, if it's needed by some old program or utility, OS9 will first boot before launching that program or utility. For myself, I wouldn't get rid of OS9 just yet. There still are lots of old helpful utlities and such that would require it. My recommendation to you is to just get rid of your partition for OS9 so you're not wasting as much disk space and then reintall OS9 without a partition. If disk space is the issue then I would recommend you look into an additional internal or external drive. They are very cheap these days compared with how much they used to go for. Hope that helps, Dkal
