I've been learning 68000 assembly language for the past 18 months or so and writing some little applications that will run on the Mac 512K and other models from that era. I think it's impressive to see the code, when written following Inside Macintosh guidelines, will run even on a Power Mac G3 with OS 9.
Anyone else doing any vintage Mac development, up thru OS 9?

It depends on what OS-based routines you use, as well as how well you
follow the programming "rules". As the Mac OS evovled, many routines
were changed or removed, as well as the ever-changing hardware
features. For example, some old System 6 games will not run at all on
newer MacOS 7 or 8 while others will run, but don't play any sound.
I meant to say that if the program runs on a PPC Mac under MacOS 9,
then it will probably also run on an Intel Mac via the "Classic" MacOS
9 environment included option of the early versions of MacOS X.

no it very definitely will not, since classic never existed on intel
macs.

There were some dual-boot machines (OS9/X), what processor did they use?

Rats! That was a typo ... it was meant to be MacOS X on *PPC* Macs. :-\
On Intel Macs you can use emulation via Sheepshaver, vMac Mini,
Basillisk, etc. to run an older version of the Mac OS and its apps.

Emulation isn't always necessary. You can run PowerPC Carbon apps under
Intel OS X 10.5. I occasionally run AppleWorks 6 under Intel 10.5.

You can run Carbon PowerPC apps on Mac OS X Intel up to 10.5.x using
Rosetta.

the claim was about classic apps, not carbon.

Carbon apps are Classic apps.

Then why didn't you mention Rosetta in your list of SheepShaver, vMac mini, etc?
Or did you forget about Rosetta and Carbonized apps?
