![]() This is my second A/UX system, the previous being a Quadra 950 which is long since gone. Currently problem is needing a supported CD-ROM drive that does 512 byte sector. ![]() I have an ongoing A/UX project here to get a Quadra 700 restored and running A/UX. If you were completely new to Unix, this was at least somewhat more user friendly and Mac-like. One thing I thought was nice in A/UX was Commando which would present a Mac dialog for command line building. The integration of MacOS with Unix was done well and the architecture behind making it actually work is pretty neat too considering Macs were built to only boot MacOS. ![]() On the topic of A/UX, it is an interesting historical Unix to look at. As is usual with these environments, if you were wanting to use Mac programs, you were better off with a Mac from the time than trying to run it in MAE. MAE was mostly reliable and you could run a word processor or spreadsheet program and not have to physically move yourself from the workstation to a Mac. It was clunky, but there were a lot of commercial OS-on-OS emulation/virt environments around this time (SoftWindows95 on IRIX, Sun WABI and later SunPCI, SoftPC and SoftWindows on Macs, and so on). I used MAE at a former employer a long time ago. #MAC OS X HP 42 EMULATOR MAC OS X#From memory this emulates the entire Classic MacOS environment (68K CPU, minimum hardware) and was Apple’s only time they ever supported emulation on non-Apple hardware, it was a bit of a curiosity at the time so I am not sure how many people bought licenses overall since the Solaris/HP-UX environments were significantly more expensive at the time.Īs an aside Quix with their DayDream emulator were the only company who was successful in licensing the Apple ROMs for emulation on NeXT, to my knowledge nobody else was able to license the ROMs for such a use (excluding licensed Apple clones, Mac OS X Server Blue Box, Classic environment or other internal Apple uses).Īt the time in 1998 everyone was getting used to the freshly launched Bondi Blue iMacs with the latest G3 PPC CPU’s, Mac OS 8 and wondering what USB ports were for and if you really needed a floppy drive so there wasn’t that much interest in MAE being limited to System 7.5.3 only. Please recommend the strengths and weaknesses (including cost) of the various options available. I want to use an application which is not available for Mac. #MAC OS X HP 42 EMULATOR FOR MAC OS#I am new to Mac and I am looking for a Windows emulator for Mac OS X. macos software-recommendation virtualization windows. ![]() I recall using this around 1998 with version 3 which supported System 7.5.3 on Solaris, they used to have a trial you could download and run for limited period of time to try it out. MacOS ny free/paid Windows emulator for Mac OS X. ![]()
