It works fine for apps internal to OS 8/9 but their networking leaves a lot to be desired. Your local area network will not be visible to Sheepshaver, and vis versa. Bob On Oct 24, 2010, at 9:37 AM, Matthias Rebbe wrote: Hi, is there anyone on the list who uses SheepSaver under Mac OS

If you mean that Sheepshaver will not run because the latest OS will not run classic, then I believe you are mistaken. In fact I know you are (if that was what you meant) because I am running it right now in Snow Leopard. Again, no native networking though. Bob On Oct 24, 2010, at 6:11 PM,

I just checked the TCP/IP setting and it looks like they bridge their own network with the native OS X network. Because of this a lot of things will not work, such as MacPing. This was a really cool ping scanner because you could ping a whole subnet of addresses, then start pulling Ethernet

Hi Matthias, I believe the problem is that SheepShaver, (which I think is the correct name), ran only under 9.04 which was a very buggy version of OS 9 which crashed frequently. You are also correct that 10.4 was the last environment which allowed Classic to run, so you have a double whammy
