Its $75, and only $35 FOR STUDENTS!!Quote:
ARDI has created its own version of the Mac OS that runs directly on PCs. Your Macintosh applications will think they are running on a Macintosh. Since we use our own implementation of the Mac OS, Executor does not require a license from Apple Computer, nor a copy of Mac OS, nor Macintosh ROM chips.
Here is a pic of it running under KDE in Linux..

There is a free 30 day demo here: http://www.ardi.com/executor/products/lin86_demo.html
There is also an OpenSource MAC Emulator called Basilisk that can emulate a Mac Classic (Mac OS 0.x - 7.5) or Mac II (MacOS 7.x, 8.0 and 8.1)
But it requires a copy of the Mac ROM image which you will have to get somewhere.
Quote:
Basilisk II is an Open Source 68k Macintosh emulator. That is, it enables you to run 68k MacOS software on you computer, even if you are using a different operating system. However, you still need a copy of MacOS and a Macintosh ROM image to use Basilisk II. Basilisk II is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL).
Here is the Basilisk home page: http://www.uni-mainz.de/~bauec002/B2Main.html

There is an emulator called fusion that can run Mac OS8 and 9. I do not know about X. The emulator runs under DOS and uses a mac rom. Do a search. There is another emulator that comes with a PCI card that has a powerPC chip on it and can run Mac OS and AMiga under Windows NT. I can't remember its name. Search google.Quote:

AFAIK, no Mac emulators run MacOS 9 (or Mac OS X, for that matter), as they're PowerMac only: from MacOS 8.5, 68k support was dropped. So far, Mac emulators only emulate 68k machines.
I use Basilisk: works fine under Win2k, with MacOS 8.1.
