Forum rules


Before you post, please make sure...

- ...your topic is related to betas or abandonware. If it is not, don't post it here. Better help sites exist else where.
- ...you have first used Google to look for an answer, and you have asked other people you know via other methods (IM, e-mail, etc).
- ...your question has not been asked before. Search the forum first before posting.

If you meet those criteria, go ahead and post your question. Be sure to provide as much information you can about the problem and how to recreate it. Also provide information on hardware and software if applicable.

It depends on the model. Mac OS X Server 1.2v3 will run on the 700 MHz and the 800 MHz nvidia model, and OS X Server 1.2v3 is Rhapsody based.

As for Mac OS programs, I have no idea.

Windows Server 2003 SP2 x64
Check out the Apple database here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1835

Depending on your eMac version, you may be able to run Mac OS 9 natively - although all models should support the Classic environment within OS X. Whether this carries over to Server is a different matter.

"Sadly, today, getting Rhapsody working is mainly trial and error. Unless you look for systems from before 2000, you are likely to encounter some form of problems."

The Ephemeral between existance and non-existance: AKA "being"

Favourite OS
Rhapsody, BeOS
It is totally worth it as it is one of the most formative development trails in the history of computing. From Rhapsody we can the gap between MacOS 7/8 and OS X being one purely of aesthetics and usability. Its interesting to see the tough choices that Apple had to make when it put the project on 4 year hiatus.

I could never get Rhapsody to run on native x86 hardware nor on my PowerPC 7300. I ran it in Virtual PC 5 or 6.

Do it.

well it sure doesn't hurt to try :)

All i got for ppc is an old imac g3 333mhz 64mb ram, and a newer emac G4 1.4ghz and 768 mb ram, i think ill have a better chance with x86 (i have so many pc parts im sure i got the hardware, alot from the p2/p3/p4 era)

You can run all kinds of Rhapsody and OS X betas on a G3.
