Does this work for OS 9 OR X?

derfman24 says: Mar 16, 2009. 3:53 PM

To install Mac OSX as a second OS, as opposed to Windows, you need an Intel compatible Mac OS, such as Tiger or Leopard. If you want to install an earlier Mac OS, using PearPC works.

RETRO

Yerboogieman says: Jul 16, 2008. 1:57 PM

why the hell do you want OS 7?

Maccaro says: Dec 9, 2008. 12:20 AM

Why wouldn't you want to relive that childhood memory of a not so colourful mac.

Yerboogieman says: Dec 9, 2008. 6:34 AM

It wasn't what it was put up to be in the movie hackers. Or else my school would be flooded by now.

onlyonebowman says: Feb 9, 2008. 7:15 PM

i got this on portableapps.com for my flash drive and it has stuff like mac paint but you can also get the torrent for it to with a lot of other stuff

el-pedro says: Nov 2, 2007. 1:56 PM

Cool, i have a mac classic 2 and this might work for some of the software

Biotele says: Jun 14, 2007. 5:43 AM

This is very useful. I have some old mac files that i want to transfer. Thanks.

your welcome :)

v10m says: Jun 5, 2007. 12:18 PM

how do you close the error messages like when it sais "please shut down the emulated computer before quiting

lookatmygrlyfont (author) says: Jun 5, 2007. 9:19 PM

you have to go to special > shutdown when your booted. or you could press ctrl + alt + delete and end the task.

trickmirror says: May 22, 2007. 7:16 PM

Hey, cool idea, though i was wondering if you could help. ive managed to get the end bit, but when i move the hfs24m.dsk file in, nothing happens after. any ideas?

lookatmygrlyfont (author) says: May 22, 2007. 7:47 PM

umm well if your at the installer screen drag it in and hit switch disk until the drive says unitled. if thats not your prob let me know and ill help u out.

lemonie says: Apr 11, 2007. 2:44 PM

As a purely impartial and genuinely inquisitive comment: What are the advantages of doing this? I believe I could install and run a Z-80 emulator on this machine, but I'm not sufficiently inclined to do so...

lookatmygrlyfont (author) says: Apr 11, 2007. 3:30 PM

well there is no point but you can say you installed it on your computer.

lemonie says: Apr 12, 2007. 1:07 PM

What would be really cool to say you had installed on your machine? RISC OS?

lookatmygrlyfont (author) says: Apr 12, 2007. 2:16 PM

i guess

LasVegas says: Apr 11, 2007. 8:43 AM

A note about the software. You can legally supply a link to Apple's System 7, but not supply the OS yourself. Apple likes to keep control of tthe distribution of this free software.

Also, try out SoftMac XP or Basilisk II for full color Mac Emulation!

lookatmygrlyfont (author) says: Apr 11, 2007. 10:50 AM

Well if i do that you wont be able to extract it on a pc. If you want ill give you a d/l link from apple then you can download it and my install package and just delete the one from apple so you can say you downloaded it from apple. Good luck finding a rom unless you have an old mac for Softmac xp and Basilisk II.
