Sorry, I'm more of a PC guy with some minor Mac knowledge - and an interest in learning more. I generally feel, for myself anyway, that you're just not going to get to learning it as long as you have a PC around. Thus, you need to switch yourself completely over - at least on a notebook.
I've picked up a fair amount of linux knowledge, but I know I could be MUCH better if I had a notebook that JUST ran LINUX and I used that exclusively at work and when I travel. Honestly, my suggestion would be - for learning purposes - pick up a cheap, used Mac Notebook on ebay. Since I need my XP laptop for daily work, I figure having OS X on my laptop is the best way to learn it. A separate machine will not work since I don't think I'll ever turn it on and replacing my XP laptop is not a good idea since I can't take off work a couple of days just to learn OS X. I hope others have better solutions but if not I will give you half of the points because you don't know much about the solution you have given therefore I will have to spend time trying it out myself. Hope you're ok with that. I went to CherryOS's website then sent them an email to see if they have an verions of their emulator product that is compatible with OS X.
Apr 17, 2017 - The emulator allows you to run a wide range of early Macintosh. You would have to constantly swap system disk, MacWrite and data disk.
Below is how they answer me.Needless to say I don't recommend CherryOS. My original email is on the bottom. Your email is completely inaccurate and demonstrates a complete and utter lack of knowledge concerning, well, anything! I am truly amazed that you were able to type in three sentences by yourself without hurting yourself. You must be thanking your parents for at least giving you short names to spell.
Our web site has neither Mac OS 8.1 nor Mac OS 9. To offer them on a web site would be illegal.
Mac OS 8 and Mac OS 9 are commercial operating systems that you purchase on CD-ROM from an Apple dealer, or that you get from us in the mail. You don't get them from a web site. What our site does have are tools and utilities to read Apple Macintosh disks on a PC, and to emulate Apple Macintosh computers on MS-DOS and Windows. Our company develops and distributes these emulators to allow longtime Mac users, schools, and businesses using Macintosh computers to migrate from Mac OS to Windows by allowing them to run their classic Macintosh operating systems (such as Mac OS 8) and classic Macintosh applications (such as ClarisWorks, MacWrite, MacPaint, etc.) on brand new PCs such as Dell workstations, Dell notebooks, Sony VAIO notebooks (as pictured on our web site), etc. Now, you're asking about 'Mac OS X', which as you know, or at least should know, has nothing to do with classic Macintosh computers or with Mac OS. 4 years ago Apple essentially threw away its product line of the past 20 years and its operating system of the past 20 years and started fresh with IBM based PCs running Unix.
That's what a 'Mac' running 'Mac OS X' is today - an IBM box running good old 30 year old Unix. No thanks, our web site deals with the real Macs, real Mac OS, and real Mac applications that people have used for the past 20 years. If you just want to run Unix on an IBM box, (boring!!!) you certainly don't need a Mac emulator for that. Buy a PC and install any of dozens of Unix/Linux releases available today. Wasn't Unix popular when television was still black and white? By the way, Apple and anyone refers to the Macintosh as a 'Mac', not a 'MAC'.
The term 'MAC' is an entirely different technical term used with regards to networking hardware. Please, if you can't even spell something correctly, don't waste your time trying to discuss it.

I'm sorry, I have to stop now. I am so grossly disgusted by your email I can't continue. Please refrain from hurling your further stupidity my way again. Darek - - - - - - - From: Ryan Dao mailto:[email protected] m Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2005 2:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Emulator for MAC OS X Server Hi, I found your site while searching the Internet for a MAC emulator.
I want to train on MAC OS X Server or workstation on an emulator but your site only has MAC OS 8.1 or MAC OS 9. Do you have an emulator for MAC OS X?
I don't mind paying for it. Thanks, Ryan Dao. Most people in the mac community belive that cherryos IS vaporware (AKA fake).
They posted some screen shots a while back and you could clearly tell that cherryos was a ripoff of pearpc. They do not have a product and i dought they ever will. As for PearPC. I have successfully installed and got os x running on it. As the moment what you can do with pearpc is very limited due to speed issues.
At the moment pearpc only runs at 1/15th the speed of the host CPU in the computer. Which means my 2.66ghz computer runs like a 178MHZ G3 Power PC. PearPC also has no usb or sound support. It is more for tinkerers then usefulness. If you do feel like setting pearpc up, i would be able to assit you in doing so.
Mac OS 7 7.5 Mac OS 7 was a major change from the earlier, introducing integrated multitasking, a revamped desktop, networking, and transitioning the name from 'Macintosh System Software' To 'MacOS'. It was followed.
Running Mac OS 7.x requires a Motorola 68000 based Macintosh, a supported model of Power PC based Macintosh (7.1 or later) or one of the following emulators: - Runs MacOS 1.1-7.5.5, emulates a black and white Motorola 68K based Mac Plus - Runs MacOS 7.x-8.1, emulates later color Motorola 68k based Macs. Runs MacOS 7.5.2-9.0.4, emulates a Power PC based Macintosh.
