The .dmg file is an OS X disk copy image file. Try opening the .dmg file using disk copy in Mac OS 9.2. I have not tested it but the site says this vesion runs in OS 9.2 and opens >DMG files.

Putting it simply, compressed DMG images won't open on OS 9, at all. Not even with the developer version of DiskCopy 6.4, or even the unreleased beta of 6.5.
DMGs which aren't compressed generally do open on OS 9, although possibly you'd need that developer/beta version of DC before you can open DMGs made with a later version of the app, that I don't know for sure however.
I am certain though that compressed DMGs won't open on OS 9. The DiskCopy versions that work on the OS (right up to 6.5 beta 13 which I believe was the last one compiled before OS 9 support was scrapped) lack the ability to decompress them.
