Star iMac G3 and MacOS9: a Pleasant Surprise
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Sun 12th Feb 2006 21:27 UTC
Apple A few weeks ago, I did something crazy and shelled out 50 Euros for a G3 iMac. It was a 333Mhz G3 iMac with 96MB of RAM. It came with a copy of MacOS 9-- and that was what I bought it for. I wanted to experience first hand what OS9 was like. I did not expect I'd use the machine much. However, I was in for a rather pleasant surprise.

BasiliskII cannot emulate PowerPC so you cannot use OS9 with it. However, it is a great to emulate a 68k Mac with OS8! ;)

Ah yes. Was thinking of Classic environment ;-)

Anyhow, these two projects are currently in a very active status, and will no doubt be the first to bring classic on Mactels.
