SheepShaver is a MacOS run-time environment for Linux that allows you
|
||
|
|
to run MacOS applications at native speed inside the Linux multitasking
|
||
|
|
environment on PowerPC-based Linux systems. This means that both Linux
|
||
|
|
and MacOS applications can run at the same time and data can be exchanged
|
||
|
|
between them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<P>SheepShaver is neither a MacOS replacement nor an emulator. It runs an
|
||
|
|
unmodified PowerPC MacOS under control of Linux at full speed without any
|
||
|
|
kind of emulation. So it also uses the MacOS 68k emulator to run 68k
|
||
|
|
applications. In this way, SheepShaver is comparable to the "Blue Box" of
|
||
|
|
Apple's Rhapsody operating system.
