![]() ![]() ( I still don't have Lion on anything yet but from the 32bit comment, I assumed he booted to a 32-bit kernel. Installed Foxpro 2.6a with the 68K emulation option. Needed it to run an old Foxpro 2.6 database solution for my business. Just finished setting up Sheep shaver on a Mac mini 2.3GHz Core i5, Mac OS X 10.7.2. Please email if you have any questions, and thanks for your website - a daily read for me. I can point Preview in Lion to those, and viola! I have my reports. I installed a 'Print to PDF' utility within system 8.6, and now print PDFs of Statview reports that go to the 'shared' drive that SheepShaver sets up. Why am I running SheepShaver? So as to run the best of the old scientific statistics programs, Statview. Both iMacs are running 64-bit, so SheepShaver works with 64 bits and Lion. (BTW: Steve later wrote that both iMacs were running 64-bit w/Lion.) And here's the Apple doc I linked to earlier (below) on booting to 32-bit or 64-bit ( HT3773 no longer online) that still worked with OS X Lion.) Despite the iMac 7,1 having a Core2Duo (64-bit) CPU, that apple doc on 10.6 says only Early 2008 and later iMacs can use the 64-bit kernel. The iMac 7,1 (Alum) is a (C2D) 2007 model which per OS X v10.6: Macs that use the 64-bit kernel ( HT3770 no longer online) doesn't default to 64-bit boot in 10.6 at least. Select Software in the Contents pane and then look for "64-bit Kernel and Extensions: Yes (or No)" under the System Software Overview heading.) (Choose 'About This Mac' from the Apple menu, then click 'More Info'. I don't have Lion yet but in OS X 10.6 you could check to see if you're booted to 64-bit kernel with Apple System Profiler. ( Newer macs should default to 64-bit kernel boot. There is no 'enter full screen' option in the menu and I'm not sure how to try that otherwise, but it doesn't matter to me - the window I'm given approximates that of an old 13" iMac, and that's all I need. I can't tell if I'm running them in 32-bit or 64-bit mode, but on both it works just fine, and I am running Mac OS 8.6 without problems. Just wanted to confirm that I am running the latest build of SheepShaver (version 823), on two different iMacs: a 27 inch imac9,1 and a 24 inch imac7,1, both running OS X 10.7.2 Lion. used with it, and notes on any compatibility problems seen. Thanks."Īsked to include OS version used (9.0.4 or earlier), what Apps, Utilities, etc. The latter can be realized by releasing code and/or documentation about MacOS Classic internals. Should you care of your users, people that made you a living for years, please consider the following: either (i) bring back a Classic environment, or (ii) help Sheepshaver development. Hello, it is well known that you dropped support for MacOS Classic applications in MacOS X for Intel. "To whoever at Apple that has the right information The only thing that worries me a bit is that the developer of Sheepshaver writes: To find a system CD won't be difficult - you can ask friends or look at ebay. You'll even find a ROM in the OS 9.0.4 updater from /Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/Macintosh/System/. I suppose Sheepshaver will run at least as fast on those Macs as OS 9 was a few years ago on the G4s, anyway - not too slow.įor extracting the ROM from the installer with Tomeviewer you just need classic, booting into OS 9 is not necessary. I think people will miss their classic now that there is no other choice than buying an Intel Mac. ( FYI - another 2006 link that's no longer valid - check. ( another reader mentioned a guide at /drupal/node/2810 but article no longer there) There's too much good old software that I cannot replace in OS X. "I don't have an Intel Mac yet but on my coming MacBook I'd definitely want to run OS 9. See below for later info, user reports, guides etc. on using Sheepshaver for Classic OS support with Intel CPU Macs, first mentioned in the January 2006 news page note on Experimental build of Sheepshaver for Intel Macs. This page is a 'catch-all' for info, feedback etc. (FYI: Some old links disabled after target pages no longer online.)
