As of OS X 10.1, NTK doesn't launch anymore. You double-click it and it
starts to load, but then it displays an alert saying that an unknown error
has occurred and that it can't run.
Bear in mind that for all access to the machine hardware, OS 9 within OS X
(or Classic) has to rely on the good dispositions of OS X. That's why that
even though you have a Macintosh with a serial port, you won't be able to
use it in Classic, with the same application that works just fine when you
boot in OS 9. That's because Apple didn't implement a serial connection into
the system, so Classic can't access it either.
