Yes!!They work in OS9! I finally got it and I hope they fix this in the pro update.

Wow!!What a pain in the ass! I figured it out.I have to download the soundfonts from 
www.Hammersound.net in OSX,because I apparently don't have the proper software 
installed in OS9 to open the files.Then I drag them to them to my(newly installed Logic 
OS9) Sampler Instruments Folder.I then boot into OS9>open Logic 6.0 in OS9>open the

back and try some more!!:-)....What a day:-)I didn't configure(get 0S9 drivers?)for my 
Radium 61 keyboard or my Firewire 410 for OS9 yet because they work in OSX and I didn't 
want to mess that up,so I can only test the soundfonts in OS9 with the onscreen keyboard 
and the G4 tower speaker for now but I'm thinking I'm going to like working in OS9!! It's 
nice to have a choice.I'm new to computers in general(not just Macs or OSX/9 so I don't 
really care what OS I have as long as things actually work the way my manual says they're 
supposed and it seems OS9 will be good to fall back on until the OSX stuff gets fixed.Plus I 
can't wait to try out all the free VST plugs in OS9 and such! 

    Thanks for your help,
