True & True. However, in my case "classic" isn't classic enough. I want to
use some older 68K software that won't run on MacOS 9.1. With
mac-on-darwin, I could install MacOS 7.6, which I can't do on my iMac DV+
(except with MOL).
The idea of this kind of emulation fascinates me for some odd reason. I
think my new computer should be able to run older software. On an iMac, I
can run Apple II, Atari, Windoze software, and all kinds of old arcade
games, but not MacOS 7.6. It doesn't make sense.
I know it can work. That's why I want to try to make it work. I guess I am
striving to understand how it all works. Is anyone else interested
mac-on-darwin or willing to point me in the right direction?
