How time flies when you're having fun... or pulling your hair out.I'm doing the emulation thing again, this time with an Apple Mac emulator. After MUCH tinkering about, I now have the equivalent of a Mac Quadra 900 running either a somewhat unstable version of Mac OS 7.5.5 or a cut down version of OS 8. Neither seem to be very useful as 7.5.5 is too old to run much good software, while 8 has got so many control panels missing, not much works on that either.
I can't get the thing to go online either, which is a pity, though not exactly important. Sadly, I'm finding it far less useful or even usable than the emulated Mac I ran on my Amiga, using Shapeshifter and OS 7.61.
It's not so much that shapeshifter was a better emulator, but 7.61 was very stable and usable... and I can't find a copy of it online any more. I'd have copied it across on CD, but my Amiga hard drive died some months back, and the backup cds didn't survive either. Cheap crappy things.
I guess I'll just keep my eyes open on the web and wait to see if any naughty person makes a bootleg copy of 7.61 or 8 available.
