I think the disk contains pretty important material, keeping in mind its origin from 2004

Pretty important material, exactly.

It runs with my iMac G3 on OS9.2 natively and in Classic mode.
Works as well as with my windy box with W7U. Windows Ultimate seems to be missing video codecs e.g. for the global warming video. I think the disk contains pretty important material, keeping in mind its origin from 2004.

Edit: "Important" is probably the wrong adjective about a story of a species destroying its own habitat. I´ll leave it like that, English is not my native tongue.

Yep, PC emulator works fine for me, thus the pict above.
I've not checked with original Mac OS 9 hardware yet.

Dont think its your SS OS version, freezes my 8.6 and 7.6 just the same.
I may try iMac or XP to see how it is doing.

My SheepShaver with 9.0.4 installed refuses to mount this CD-ROM, either original or image.
Someone please check with 8.5 or 8.6...
