It's only 68k, though. It does not emulate PPC. But you can run System 7.5 on it, which you can get for free at Apple's website.

Well, you can use Executor from ardi, which does not require the Mac rom, but the interface is not quite the same as Mac OS. Of course, if you really want to learn about the Mac, the ideal solution would be to use the real thing. Roms are not that hard to find, though; so far I have a Mac rom, kickstart roms 1.1 and 3.1, an Archimedes rom and an Atari TOS rom. I can send it to you, if you like.

Why in the hell would anybody want to emulate a mac os older than mac os ten ?

Apples biggest problem back in the late 90's was that their operating system really sucked donkey balls.  Of course we all know that that is not exactly the case now.

What we should be doing is getting Mac os X for x86 machines.

That would be way cooler than mac os 7.5 on x86.

7.5 was damned good in its time though, much better than 8 or 9. But nothing comes close to comparing with X.

9.2.2 was a good final release, though. I find myself using it quite often, out of need for a little raw speed, or just for nostalgia's sake.
Go the fuck ~
