No one that I know of. Br Jeremy was going to post the patch. Don't know if
he did. However DeskMate is a horse of different color. All its modules are
named something different than OS9. The same technique should work for both.

Use your favorite binary editor (dEd) and edit OS9Boot.  Look for the string
"19??" ( without the quotes), change to "20??" (without quotes).

On second thought, it is in the date module which is in the boot module. So
save the date module, edit that and rebuild your boot module. This is the
safer way and IIRC the CRC module will not work on a single module merged in
with other modules.
On the MM1, OS9 has several modules that need patching.

Microware did not fix the Y2K problem in OS9 until version 3.1 or 3.2.
