Another good catch. That feature only works when the system is NOT running. (Actually, it says on the download page: "To add or replace a disk image with this system, shut down the the Mac OS 9 app and drop a disk image on its icon.")
I've updated the code so that it warns you if you try to do this while the system is running, because I can't expect everyone to memorize the download page. The version with the warning is being uploaded now, and should be available about 30 minutes after this message is posted. But there's no need to wait for it - just try again with the system shut down.
Feel free to read the AppleScript to see exactly what it does.
Actually, I was already dropping the ISO image on the app when it was shut down. To provide the full sequence:
1. Dragging the ISO onto the app brings up the first prompt, to which I select "Keep existing and add new".
2. The second prompt comes up, to which I select "Copy disk to app".
3. The next prompt tells me to wait for it to import, but is then interrupted by the error "The variable temp path is not defined":
http://userweb.eftel.com/~almeath/mac/error1.jpgBefore importing the ISO I looked inside the app package and I could see the Emergency.dsk and MacOS9.sparsebundle files. After the above import attempt, I go back to the same folder and see a new file that was not there before, called "SecondDisk.dsk". The file size exactly matches the file size of the ISO image I tried to import:
http://userweb.eftel.com/~almeath/mac/contents.jpgSo this seems to indicate that the import is partially successful, but it converted the ISO to DSK format following the error message. As before, the CD/ISO image does not show up on the desktop when I subsequently boot into MacOS 9.
If it helps, I can provide the main.scpt following the import attempt:
