Re: [L-OT] New Powerbooks do OS Classic mode?

Exactly. Well, almost exactly. It's not OS 9 emulation, it *is* OS 9
running in a protected memory space in OS X. However, since it's running
inside of OS X some programs have trouble, especially those that need
direct acccess to hardware. Which leads me to:

I do not know for certain (I run Jam natively in OS X), however I would
guess that the editing portion *might* run in Classic, but the burning
portion would not function. Which may or may not prevent the app from
launching, again I'm not really sure - is there a reason you don't run Jam
natively in OS X? Haven't upgraded, perhaps?

I despise Jam (clunky, unintuitive, cumbersome, feature-poor, etc.), but
sadly as I mentioned in my post from yesterday there seems to be nothing
available for OS X that works like CD Architect on Windows... a shame,
really.
