I need a volunteer to help test os9 running under OSX

[ted bonkenburg]

Hi Haruka,

Thanks for offering to test.  I've actually found someone who lives 
right near me so that will be quite easy.  If it works on his Powerbook 
then I'll post to the mol list where to download so that more people 
can try it out.  So keep reading the Mac-On-Linux mailing list :-)

Thanks again,

ted
