Find the ROM

For those of you who really love your classic Mac setup, you can run MacOS 9 on an Intel Mac thanks to a program called Sheep Shaver by Gwenole Beauchesne. This isn't that new (Sheep Shaver has been around for a while, and the Intel transition's been covered a lot), but for those of you who need a tutorial, you can read the steps here (just click on the Full Article link below).


Of course, performance may vary depending on your system.

And here's a bit more about Sheep Shaver from its documentation:
  • SheepShaver runs Mac OS 7.5.2 thru MacOS 9.0.4
  • PowerPC G4 emulation on non-PowerPC platforms, direct execution otherwise
  • Basic but portable JIT engine (x86, x86_64, mips)
  • Copy and paste of text between MacOS and the host OS
  • File exchange with the host OS via a Unix icon on the Mac desktop
  • Color video display with support for run-time resolution switching
  • Run-time depth switching from 1 bpp to current host depth settings
  • Native QuickDraw 2D acceleration for BitBlt and FillRect operations
  • CD-quality stereo sound output
  • Networking: SheepShaver supports Internet and LAN networking via Ethernet and PPP with all Open Transport compatible MacOS applications
