The “Classic” environment in OSX won’t work on your PC. Classic works by letting your Mac fall back to OS9 to run older programs, it won’t work on an x86 PC at all, as OS9.2.2 (the version of OS9 used to run Classic) is pure PowerPC code. Rosetta doesn’t come into play. Getting Classic to run within OSX x86 is impossible. Unless perhaps, someone were to create a full featured PowerPC emulator/translator. Possibly PearPC would do the trick??? (I can’t recall if it will run OS9 or not, but it can emulate PPC, albeit quite slowly) Give it a try SheepShaver will run on an Intel Mac. I’m currently emulating OS 8.6.
