Description : PowerPC Emulator
(Include the long description here.)
SheepShaver is a MacOS run-time environment for BeOS and Linux that
allows you to run classic MacOS applications inside the BeOS/Linux
multitasking environment. This means that both BeOS/Linux and MacOS
applications can run at the same time (usually in a window on the BeOS/Linux
desktop) and data can be exchanged between them. If you are using a
PowerPC-based system, applications will run at native speed (i.e. with no
emulation involved). There is also a built-in PowerPC emulator for
non-PowerPC systems.
SheepShaver is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License
(GPL). However, you still need a copy of MacOS and a PowerMac ROM image to
use SheepShaver. If you're planning to run SheepShaver on a PowerMac, you
probably already have these two items.
Supported systems
SheepShaver runs with varying degree of functionality on the following
systems:
* BeOS/PPC R4/R5
* Linux/ppc
* Linux/ia32 (AKA x86)
* Linux/amd64 (Opteron, Athlon64)
* Darwin/ppc
Some of SheepShaver's features

* Color video display

* Access to floppy disks, CD-ROMs and HFS(+) partitions on hard disks
* Easy file exchange with the host OS via a "Host Directory Tree" icon
on the Mac desktop
* Internet and LAN networking via Ethernet
* Serial drivers
* SCSI Manager (old-style) emulation
