How has OS 9 been running with Parallels? Any problems? Haven't installed it. Figured I'd get more use out of Windows, and the one app I need works in Windows just fine.

How has OS 9 been running with Parallels? Any problems? Checked into it this AM. After Parallels would not recognize an OS 9 install disk, I looked on-line to find out why. Seems running OS 9 on MacIntels is a bit more complicated than I thought... by TheJuggernaut 23 hours ago + 3 diggs Parallels seems to virtualize about anything; any guesses on whether it would handle OS 9.2? Yeah, I know it's a moldy OS, but our company runs a program that requires OS 9, and we're out of luck with the new Intel Macs. [reply] by helfire 23 hours ago + 5 diggs no, OS9 is only compiled for PPC/68K? So it will need EMULATION not VIRTULIZATION. Two different things entierly. by bradleyland 20 hours ago + 2 diggs Why is this poor guy getting modded down? I have customers who are tied in to OS 9 apps as well. This is a perfectly legitimate question! by ratzfatz 20 hours ago + 2 diggs I've SheepShaver installed and it runs up to Mac OS 8.6. Boots within 6 Seconds with standard INITs, provides a full screen mode. Kind of weird to run Win XP in order to emulate the former Mac OS. There is a SheepShaver version also available for OS X but it lacks a configuration front end which is a pain in the a... Developer claims that the OSX SheepShaver will run up to Mac OS 9.1 - which I haven't tried yet. Anyway - there ARE ways to have the old System up and running. digg.com
