I have a 6500/300 running OS 9.1 in conjunction with YDL 2.0, which
is basically the exact same model as your computer (both use the
603ev). I believe Apple only supported through 8.6 originally when
OS 9 came out but then later added support for OS 9. OS 7.1.3-9.1
should work fine with your computer. Eventually, you'll be able to
use OS X on that machine, because utilities are being made. (It's
probably possible to do it if you're really good at tweaking with
your system/open firmware??) However, Apple will probably never have
officially support OS X on the older machines. :)
