   There can be issues running two versions of MacOS if you have any   
   drives in the older filesystem format.   
      
   You could use a virtualisation app (VMWare Fusion has a free version   
   for home use) to run the older MacOS inside the newer one. It does of   
   course use up more memory / resources running two MacOS versions at the   
   same time and I don't know if there's a noticable perfomance hit   
   running the Apple II emulation inside Mojave virtualisation inside Big   
   Sur.
