Clayton,

Does the machine have a "System Folder" as well as a "System" folder?

If so then the machine has OS 9 installed and 
will run in Classic mode. If its a newer PB it 
wont start in OS 9 though.

If you install your OS 9 application into the 
Applications (Mac OS 9) they should run normally.

If the machine doesn't have a "System Folder" 
(i.e. only a "System" folder) you will need to 
install OS 9 before hand.
