Can it run Mac OS 9?
I'm trying to make a collection of OS's, and one of the few Mac OS releases I don't have yet. Is it possible to run OS 9 in PearPC?

Sheepshaver doesn't like my computer very much, but it's still usable.
Alternative...
If you're a linux user, get mac-on-linux. It basically replaces all of the mac emulators emaculation mentions. I haven't goten it to run.......... yet.

Hi,
The long answer is that even though pearpc people worked on that issue, they wanted to wait for a project that worked on open firmware to get to a stage that mac os 9 booting would work. That project never delivered what was needed, so pearpc never got the ability to boot mac os 9. And for pearpc developers, the focus was on getting OSX running. running Mac OS was only a side track.
