A few points.

1. Accessing the control panel in Classic is not possible, because OS X
controls the memory.

2. The key combo is hold CMD + OPT, while booted into a standalone OS 9
volume, and is available in all OS 9 versions.

3. There are no control panels in OS X, so there's nothing to replace.
