I have heard it is possible to run mol with 8.1 - I tried for a long time
(months), and couldn't get it to work. I recommmend upgrading the macos
to 8.6. Once I did this (with the help of someone who fed me a new 8.6
kernel) mol began to work for me, with no twiddling, tweaking or hacking
required. 8.6 has stability and speed advantages over 8.1 anyways, and is
a recommended upgrade - I have heard it said that 8.6.1 is the most stable
MacOS in the last five years - I can't verify it, because I only launch
with mol.
Ask around - see if anyone you know has 8.6. I live in a third world
country, and it took me a while to find it, but it was worth the work, and
the 45 minutes I waited in the rain outside his office when I had tracked
down an owner.
If you are not able to do the upgrade, re-read the sections of the faq on
the ROM. The configuration is not the same as for the new-world ROM.

-- Albert Einstein, when asked to describe radio, replied: "You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat."
