Mac OS X Server (Rhapsody) was using the classic Mac OS look over a NextStep base. You can find x86 versions online which work in VM, for nostalgia and research

  To be a bit more specific, Mac OS X Rhapsody DR2 (1998) was the last x86 Mac OS build to ship until the x86 Developer Transition Kit shipped with Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.1 in 2005, and Rhapsody DR1 was the first, and only other, pre-Tiger x86 Mac OS release, though unreleased x86 ports of earlier, pre-NEXTSTEP Mac OS releases were demonstrated internally[1]. Additionally, NeXT shipped several x86 releases of NEXTSTEP and its successor OpenStep (NEXTSTEP 3.1–3.3, 1993–1995; OpenStep 4.0–4.2, 1996–1997) prior to the acquisition, all of which also run under virtualization with some effort — though I'd personally recommend the Previous emulator[2] for running older NEXTSTEP builds, as it runs reasonably fast on modern hardware and quite a bit of historically interesting NEXTSTEP software exists that was never released for versions of NEXTSTEP running on non-NeXT hardware (Mathematica 1.0, Lotus Improv, WordPerfect, and the original CERN WorldWideWeb browser come to mind, though source ports of the latter exist).

    Do command line programs built on Rhapsody DR2 (x86) run on Tiger (x86) or vice versa?
