About SheepShaver:
SheepShaver is a MacOS run-time environment for BeOS that allows you to run MacOS applications at native speed inside the BeOS multitasking environment on PowerPC-based BeOS systems.

SheepShaver is neither a MacOS replacement nor an emulator. It runs (and requires) an unmodified PowerPC MacOS 7.x/8.x under control of the BeOS at full speed without any kind of emulation. BeOS and MacOS applications can run at the same time and data can be exchanged between them.

Some of SheepShaver's features:

  • Compatibility: SheepShaver runs MacOS 7.5.2 thru 8.6 with all system extensions like AppleGuide, AppleScript, QuickTime, QuickTime VR, QuickDraw 3D, Open Transport, PPP, Language Kits, ColorSync, etc.
  • Graphics: The MacOS user interface is displayed in a BeOS window or full-screen (with QuickDraw acceleration) in resolutions up to 1600x1200 in 24 bit.
  • Sound: CD-quality stereo sound output
  • Networking: SheepShaver supports Internet and LAN networking via Ethernet and PPP with all Open Transport compatible MacOS applications.
  • Volumes: Any HFS or HFS+ volume can be used with SheepShaver (this includes Zip/Jaz/SyQuest drives etc.). It also features a built-in CD-ROM driver and a driver for HD floppy disks.
  • Data Exchange: You can access BeOS files from the MacOS via a "BeOS" icon on the Mac desktop and copy and paste text between BeOS and MacOS
