Its ages since I had a dual booter. I think it belongs in / in other
words the top level - same as Applications.

That's why I had you between a rock and a hard place.

If you only have one disk, then you won't see the partition option for
it in disk utility. Once you can see it, there will a magic checkbox
inside labelled "Install Mac OS 9 Disk Drivers"

You might be able to see it working on your USB drive, but I don't
think you can make it bootable, which is sad, because using it to boot
into OS9 would be the answer to your prayers.

Anyway, your first task is to bring that chocolate-smeared USB drive
back to your Mac and copy her whole system folder to /
(note that will start another font nightmare, but you know how to deal
with that now. You need the OS 9 font folder for Classic to work, so
don't delete them straight away.) The OS 9 or Classic (same thing) font
folder should not affect you in OS X unless you go for a font that is
only in the OS 9 Font Folder. OS X will use it as a last resort.

Then simply hop into system preferences and see if Classic will start.
Then hope like hell your reference application works in Classic.
Otherwise its gonna be a whole monster re-installation festival, with
ferris wheels and candy floss and a coconut shy where the coconuts are
nailed to the tables.
