Burning raw just takes a file and burns it to the disk. It's pretty 
straightforward, and even Lite versions should support it, I would 
think.

You'd have to burn it in image mode, not normal data mode. You'd need 
to create an OS-9 disk image somewhere, though, and the Windows 
emulator is as good a place as any. If you have multiple partitions on 
your Mac, you could install linux and compile the OS-9 tools from 
there. Most Macs are supported by linux, and who knows, there might 
even be a "live" CD version for PPC.

I thought that OS-9 had an MSDOS compatibility program, which is the 
assumption I was working under originally.
