A MacOS emulator was already available for BeOS and able to run any MacOS 9 application on BeOS. If I remember correctly the code name was "sheep shaver"...

- verstaen 9y agoYep. It was amazingly smooth. I remember seeing Photoshop running, and crashing, without bringing the whole OS, which at the time was amazing.
- fractallyte 9y agoI ran Mac OS 8 in an emulator on my Amiga, just so I could access CompuServe email. MacOS actually ran faster on the Amiga hardware than on Apple's!
- memsom 9y agoYep, but it would only run up to 8.x. I think, 8.5, but it could have been 8.1. They Mac OS after 8.5 changed a lot, and I think the BeOS version of sheepshaver stopped being able to load the OS. It worked with no extra files on a Mac running BeOS, on a BeBox it required a dump of the toolbox ROM.
