When one selected an OS9 System Folder as the Startup Disk in OS X and the hard disk does not have OS 9 Drivers installed, same situation will happen upon reboot and the only way to recover booting to OS X is to use Open Firmware console or a valid external OS 9 boot disk with latest version of Startup Disk control panel. I'm not sure what that means or if it even applies to OS 8.6 (the post is about OS 9). Something else of interest is that I did download a rom from somewhere for OS 8.6, but in the process of copying files from the mac I noticed that there was a rom in the system folder. I don't know how to use that with SheepShaver. Hopefully some people here know about SheepShaver and can help me.Īlso here is my SheepShaver_prefs file: disk C:\Users\name\Documents\Mac OS 8_6.isoĭisk C:\Users\name\Desktop\SheepShaver\SheepShaver\Mac OS 8_6.hfv It's packed into the ISO with everything else. Rom C:\Users\name\Downloads\newworld86\newworld86.As Stephen rightly points out in his comment, SheepShaver only emulates PowerPC, and so it is not a valid suggestion for your 68K-based question. However, you still need a copy of MacOS and a PowerMac ROM image to use SheepShaver. If you attempt to use a 68K based ROM, with SheepShaver, then you should get the error: Invalid ROM file size. SheepShaver requires a 4MB PCI PowerMac ROM.Īs shown in one of the dialogs in the screenshots below. To quote the specifications of each emulator respectively: SheepShaver and BasiliskII both work on Linux and should support your requirements. Access to floppy disks, CD-ROMs and HFS(+) partitions on hard disks.Easy file exchange with the host OS via a "Host Directory Tree" icon on the Mac desktop.Internet and LAN networking via Ethernet.Emulates either a Mac Classic (which runs MacOS 0.x thru 7.5) or a Mac II series machine (which runs MacOS 7.x, 8.0 and 8.1), depending.Floppy disk driver (only 1.44MB disks supported).Driver for HFS partitions and hardfiles.CD-ROM driver with basic audio functions.Emulates extended ADB keyboard and 3-button mouse.Uses UAE 68k emulation or (under AmigaOS and NetBSD/m68k) real 68k processor.I actually answered a Quadra 650 emulation related question, a while back, although it was for Windows, on SuperUser. I have just spent the last hour trying to find/recover it, after the OP, who asked the question, has subsequently deleted the question. Original QuestionīasiliskII and SheepShaver can't open quadra650.rom I have reproduced the question and answer below - hopefully it could be useful, in case any stumbling blocks are encountered.

To be able to create a "working in OS 9" AppleWorks folder, we need OS 9 system and then install AppleWorks 6 on it. Now it's the time we need the OS 6 system. Even if you still have the AppleWorks original installation disc, you can't install it on your Snow Leopard, it pops up a error message saying "Classic Environment not supported". The latest AppleWorks 6.2.9 updater can be easily downloaded from Apple, but it needs the original AppleWorks, say Apple Works 6 or 6.2. What if your customer just wants to stick with 10.6.8? The earliest OS X version LibreOffice can supports is Lion 10.7, plus your customer loves AppleWorks. That's true! You can open it with LibreOffice and even better LibreOffice is free(check out previous post Free Microsoft Office alternatives).

It's not a big deal to open those AppleWorks documents. Some people might ask why bother? Well, it's not just because of good old memories like the Windows 95/98 or even before, there are rare cases that your customer has brought in a good iMac but still running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with heaps of old AppleWorks 6 documents.
