My statement was in regards to the "sense" of porting that ugly CLI based OS to a computer that natively runs a beautiful GUI-based OS. Wove, CP/M was before my time, but I've briefly seen CP/M running mid to late 80's on one of our family business computers as a child. Great stuff, galgot! added it to the list! Last Edit: May 18, 2021, 19:32 by galgot Bolkonskij Check this thread:ītw I think, the Apple Macintosh Application Environment 3.0.4 for Solaris is a MacOS emulator for Solaris, not the other way around. So one can have System 6 (or 7?) running on System 7.
CP M EMULATOR MAC OS X INSTALL
Runs well (well, as much as Windows can p).īut never tried to install an old old Linux or BSD on these, that something to try.ĮDIT2, There also a vMac version that runs on 7. Only tried this last one with a Windows 3.1 image on a PB3400c in System 7.6.1. Very cool.įor Intel proc emulation, I managed to run BSDs and Linuxes on VirtualPC6 and 4, but that on MacOS 8.6 or 9.
Though it is virtualization, not emulation, as no proc is emulated there. There is also MachTen for 68k, which is a BSD running atop System 7 : While I am not positive, I would guess I have the installer floppies in my collection somewhere, even though I no longer have any system that could either read them or make use of them. CP/M's gui was used for the Atari ST, although the under lying OS was not CP/M. So it is not surprising that it was ported to run on Macintoshes, although by that time CP/M was in its twilight and micro users had found other ways to be productive.
CP M EMULATOR MAC OS X PRO
Linus realized that if the run time environment were made into a kernel you would actually be able to run a pseudo UNIX OS right on the hardware and hence the birth of Linux.ĬP/M was the major pro OS for early micro computers and it was ported to run on all manor of architectures. It consisted of a run time layer which created a pseudo Unix environment on whatever system you were using. Minix was included in a computer text book. I do not find things so much as I just recall using things.
CP M EMULATOR MAC OS X SOFTWARE
Maybe there was some demand to run a CP/M niche software on Macs, otherwise I can't think of any good reason either. Any hands-on experience with them?Īnd yes, porting the old CP/M to Mac doesn't seem to make sense at all. Last Edit: May 18, 2021, 11:09 by Bolkonskij Bolkonskij I came to Mac from Commodore GEOS, so I actually felt like my first Mac was just a Commodore emulator. Of course RealPC/RealDOS emulated MS' environment on Mac. I am not sure why one would want to run that even when it was new though. CP/M was actually ported by Digital Research to run on Macs. Minix runs on old Macs for those who are interested in a Unix/Linux environment. Last Edit: May 30, 2021, 16:05 by Bolkonskij wove Just a short list of emulators for System 7 that I found on the Garden:
Sure, I could use modern hardware but then it's much more fun to emulate the blocky graphics of an Apple II on my Power Mac 8600 than on a Mac Pro with its insanely high resolution.Īm I the only person feeling it would be cool to have a resource for that? (no, this would probably not be S7T)Īnyone else emulating older 80's hardware on their System 7 Macs?Īny attempts / experience as to how good emulation with various emulators is?ĭoes anyone else know a good resource on that matter?
And then there's the compatibility issue - some emulators work with special formats or older ROM dumps that are hard to come by nowadays. The problem really is to find ROMs of software compatible with your retro hardware.įirst, Netscape 4 won't work with those big ROM sites. I haven't been able to actually test it out with software. I've been uploading an Amstrad CPC emulator to the Garden but it has been sitting on my 8600's hard disk for some time now, unused. Something these machines are capable of, it we're talking early 80's - Apple II, Apple //GS, C64 etc. It's actually the other way around: System 7 emulating other platforms. This is not another thread about emulating System 7.
