Hi folks I'm currently in the interesting position of needing, if at all possible, to run a Mac application on some remote X11 terminals from an x86 Linux server. A full virtual machine appears to be the only option. The app in question is a PowerPC application, otherwise I'd be using Basilisk II with no problems. The app requires OS7/8/9 so I can't use PearPC either. That leaves me with SheepShaver, which I have little experience with.
I was wondering if anybody here has used it, and what ROM they used. If I can confirm that a particular ROM will work I will happily buy suitable mac hardware. It is my understanding that it is perfectly legal to use a Mac ROM with an emulator if you own the mac, but I'd be happy to be corrected on this point if anybody knows better. If nobody knows a solid answer regarding correct ROM choice, I would really appreciate it if someone knows a way to obtain ROMs for _testing_ _purposes_ _only_ so that I can determine what mac I need to buy. Understandably, I can't go around buying different mac models until I find one that works, and there's little information out there on ROM compatibility. -- Craig Ringer
