Re: Suggestions for running Mac OS 9.0.1 on debian-x86-64

[Adrian Zaugg <adi@ente.limmat.ch>]

Hi Christian

You may run pearpc and mol, SheepShaver or Basilisk II. You can get more 
info from 
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060509180914879&lsrc=osxh 
about the latter two.

Easiest would be to get an old mac from someone...

Best Regards, Adrian.
