Oh man. Thanks to I've been reliving playing Sim City on my old Mac G4 Cube. They linked casually to an OS9 simulator in a browser. macos9.app/

SheepShaver gives me the warm fuzzies.
Playing with MacOS 9 at 1080p with a modern touchpad is just so nice. i wish I could use it with modern software.

@NanoRaptor this would be fantastic. Your account provides an insight into what could've been with hindsight enabled.

I have a PowerCenter Pro tower with an XLR8 G3 card in it and its super buggy, and the software won't report CPU bus speed or cache settings (all 0mhz in software)

Does anyone have any tips for setup on this? I'm running OS9 and I think I have all the right drivers and dipswitch settings, and I have removed the old PPC cache, but it doesn't seem to have made a difference.
I can grab more info if needed.

I fell in love with Macintosh computers the moment I used one of those with a slot loading floppy drive unit. Was it an iMac G3 or an older one like an Apple II? I'm not sure. I was a teenager, I think, and always thought one day I'd get one of my own. Too bad the modern ones are not quite similar.
I kind of miss OS8 & OS9

For a lab recording I used R10 from 1998 on iMac G3 with Mac OS 9.
Another proof that old computers are still usable for everyday tasks.
No need to buy newer faster machines, if you don't need internet.

The side-effect is that the recording looks much better. <3
