Hi Dave.

So you are looking for software able to run in OS 9/ Classic  
environment? What kind of software specifically?

OS 9 Software is becoming hard to find these days. The best place I  
can suggest is scouring ebay, or visiting companies who might be  
upgrading/clearing out their old equipment. There is a computer fair  
in London where I sometimes see old Mac software on sale for a few  
pounds. There might be similar fairs near you.

Since software travels easily, you could buy from just about anywhere  
in the world. Although the wealthy  nations have all moved to OS X,  
you might find a bigger stock of OS 9 software from poorer countries  
who are still in the process of upgrading.

The million dollar question really is -- specifically which software  
do you want? And did you see the price of a Mac Mini?
