The Quadra 900/950 case (which is perhaps my favorite pre-Jobs Return case design) was also used for the Apple Workgroup Server 9150.Īs it turns out, Macintosh.js is based on Basilisk II with some modifications made. The Quadra 900 was replaced by the Quadra 950 a year later in 1992, but both were supported until Mac OS 8.1. The Quadra 900 was a beast in its day – expandable up to 256 MB of memory, five NuBus expansion slots and one PDS (processor direct slot) and could be ordered with a hard drive as large as 400 MB. Both used the Motorola 68040 processor, which would be the most powerful and last Motorola processor used by Apple prior to the PowerPC transition. The Quadra 900 was one of the most powerful Macintosh models Apple sold at the time, along with its little brother (and my personal grail of vintage Macs) – the Quadra 700. Macintosh.js emulates the same machine Basilisk II does (in most cases) – a 1991 Macintosh Quadra 900. On top of the three major players in the classic Macintosh emulation business, there’s now a JavaScript-powered solution that allows you to emulate Mac OS 8 without jumping through lots of hurdles to get it setup (like you do with Basilisk II and SheepShaver.) (On the upside, apps that run well in Mini vMac should run well on the 1991 Macintosh Classic I’m working on reviving back to life.)
I’ve been running Mini vMac with some luck, but I hate the limitations it presents.

Basilisk II ran perfectly on the 2014 MacBook Air (which is still on Sierra), but I always hit a brick wall when trying to install it on my 2019 MacBook Pro. As we know, Catalina drops support for 32-bit applications, and I’m guessing Basilisk II was somehow one of them. My go-to classic Mac emulator was Basilisk II until Catalina hit. (Note: I have not yet covered SheepShaver on this site.)

Mini vMac covers the compact Mac/System 6 era by emulating a Macintosh Plus (circa 1986.) Basilisk II covers the later System 7 era by emulating a Macintosh Quadra 900 (circa 1991.) SheepShaver’s specialty is PowerPC Macs running OS 8 or OS 9. However, recently, there’s a new kid on the block.Įach emulator has its era of specialty. Spectre existed for the ST, and I used it back in the day, but w.o a dongle it would not boot, and ShapeShifter would work as a disk image (may have been a crack?).On this blog, I’ve covered Basilisk II and recently Mini vMac, two of the more popular classic Macintosh emulators.

I selected UAE->Shapeshifter to see how compatible that emulator was with legacy Mac hardware, under such extreme conditions, as it added a layer of complexity, and UAE was pretty much the only other 68K emu that had software mac emus. My general reason was to test endian changing emulation performance. Suffice to say, it was rather.unresponsive (iMac G4 'lamp' model running 10.3), but it did work. or Stop the Madness, as I used to use those, too. I had a fun experiment once running a set of four nested emulators (over the host OS): OSX -> VPC (W98 or XP) -> UAE -> ShapeShifter -> IIe (a M68K //e emulator that I also used to run on my 68030/40 Powerooks) or may have been ][ in a Mac. System 6) inside Sheepshaver running OS9. If need be, you can always run an emulator for earlier MacOS (e.g. These used to be a lot of early mac emulators though, such as vMac. I believe that it will run System 7 and above, perhaps System 7,5 and above, but IDK about anything earlier. I used to run Sheepshaver on 10.4 and 10.5, as I had to use a specific programme that was never ported to OSX, via 9.x. You can learn more about Sheepshaver here:Īnd I found the most complete and ready to run version of SheepShaver available if you google: "COI (Classic on Intel) v4.0.1 'Chubby Bunny'" and follow the link. In any event, merely coping files will work just as well in OS 9. SheepShaver runs Mac OS 9.0.4 for me and may work with System 7.1 but I have never tried it. I then return the micro-SD card to the Floppy EMU and boot up my SE/30 and have access to the newly copied files. When finished I "unmount" the HD20 file from Sheepshaver, and quit Sheepshaver, and then copy the HD20 file back to the USB-mounted micro-SD card and it overwrites the old file. By default, SheepShaver give you access to a mounted drive named "Unix" which is in actuality the Shared folder inside your Users folder in your Home folder, so you have immediate access to files downloaded from Macintosh Garden that you move to this folder on your Mojave Mac.
those files I want to access on the HD20 when connected to my SE/30. I then use SheepShaver to copy/paste etc. I then run SheepShaver and attach the HD20 file to it as a mountable drive. I them copy my "HD20" file from the Floppy EMU to my Mac Mini desktop, because I have found attempting the next few steps directly to the USB-mounted micro-SD card is unstable when I try to read/write to it directly from SheepShaver. I mount my micro-SD card from my Floppy EMU on my Mac Mini High Sierra.
