Hello,
I need to search for a folder on the OS9 drive while logged on OSX without specifying the OS9 HD name…just like we have “path to startup disk”. is there an easy way of doing this?

I have tried using (list disks) to try and search that way but I’m pretty new at this and I’m lost.

Thanks

This works for me.

tell application "SimpleText" -- make sure to tell a CLASSIC application to do this or it won't work
	set theos9Disk to path to extensions as string
end tell

set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ":"
set theos9Disk to text item 1 of theos9Disk
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""

display dialog theos9Disk
