They don't answer the question because the link to a ROM which
does not need TomeViewer is invalid now.

Sheep saver needs a ROM (? - is that like bios)  and you can download it from

I believe the links I provided should answer these questions. I've never
used the software myself. I might when I purchase an Intel-Based Mac if
it will play some of the old games I like to load every now and then or
if I still need to get into some old WordPerfect files.





These are the main pages for SheepShaver. There are links to a help
center and lists/forums specifically for the software. The help center is:



Good luck!

MY question is: When some year I purchase a MacIntel computer, will 
there be an emulator for it that will run Mac OS 9?

Yes there is one. I have not tried it and can't remember its name.

I REMEMBER! It is called SheepShaver (I don't know why).

SheepShaver. http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/en/projects/sheepshaver

It emulates a PowerPC computer and runs systems 7.5.2 through 9.0.4.
Here is a blog article by someone who has installed and used it:

http://uneasysilence.com/archive/2006/08/7352/

There is also BasiliskII http://basilisk.cebix.net/. It emulates older
68K macs and can run older Macintosh systems. From it's homepage:
Emulates either a Mac Classic (which runs MacOS 0.x thru 7.5) or a Mac
II series machine (which runs MacOS 7.x, 8.0 and 8.1), depending on the
ROM being used.

[CGUYS] OS 9 Emulator on Intel? [Was Macintosh Question]

2007-05-11 Thread Alvin Auerbach
I also run Mac OS 9, but I run it as Classic on my Mac OS 10.4.9 G5 
iMac. It runs better and faster than it did in my older machines.


  Mac OS 9 Forever!!

Under Classic I run FileMaker Pro, ver. 3.0v5, copyright 1984-1999.
Eight years old.

Under Classic I run Canvas 5, ver. 5.0.3, copyright 1987-1996. I've 
just started to use it. When I purchased it, I was told that it would 
run fine on my Mac Performa 450, but it did not. I put it on the 
shelf and just recently installed it, and it runs great!

Eleven years old.

Under Classic I run Panorama II, ver. 2.1.3, copyright 1991.
Sixteen years old.

Under Classic I run Calculator+, release 2, copyright 1985-1987 
(Part of SideKick desk accessories). I like it's tape function better 
than the one in Apple's Calculator.

**Twenty years old!!! It still works.

MY question is: When some year I purchase a MacIntel computer, will 
there be an emulator for it that will run Mac OS 9?


 Mac OS 9 Forever!!

Thanks yes it is the 7300/180.


That is what I'm using at the moment (with a $99 accelerator card that
boosts it to 300 MHz). Very nice computer.

It runs everything through the end of OS 9. No OS X.
