Mac OS 7 on your Snow Leopard machine?

sheepshaverftw

If, like me, you are a bit of an old school Mac head, or possibly you have an actual genuine need to launch your old Mac OS “Classic” applications, check out the oddly named “SheepShaver”.

Far from doing what it says on the tin, SheepShaver is a PowerPC emulator that lets you run Mac OS 7, 8 or 9 on your Snow Leopard machine. It’s also available for Linux and Windows users too.

Check out SheepShaver at E-Maculation for more info, and also stop by at TidBITS for an overview on how to get up and running.

Have it running the COI 4.1 so it’s OS 9.04 the last supported OS in SheepShaver.

looks nice…

Glad you liked it.

This really took me back, I did that one in a couple of minutes but I used to sit at my friends B/W mac for hours making "grafitti", stoned out of my mind.
