Re: Making an Autorun CD for MacOS 8.x

Sorry to post off topic, but could all you Mac experts answer which MacOS version is the latest, or best to run emulated on a CSPPC using iFusion from Jim Drew and company distributed through BlitterSoft?

I bought it years ago, actually pre-ordered it before it was even released and think I ended up waiting many months to get it, buy I never tried to install and use it.  I got it at about the same time I packed up all my Amigas and moved, and never got back to trying to use it.

I have heard that some users might have been successful in getting different versions of MacOS9.x to run, but don't know if that is the best.  I don't want to buy a version of MacOS that I can't get to load with my iFusion emulation.

Any suggestions on which MacOS to use and where to find it besides eBay, would be greatly appreciated.

iFusion is PPC to run MacOS for PPC, is "Sheepshaver" able to run via PPC?

Also I am reluctant to buy any MacOS, as I am afraid that it will only be able to install for a certain Mac model and won't install on my CSPPC.

Is that no longer a problem with MacOS9?

Sheepshaver is an Amiga program to emulate a Mac and run the Intel version of MacOS?  AND, it also emulates a PPC Mac so that older versions of the MacOS that were written only for PPC powered Mac computers, can also be run under it (in other words, an Amiga emulating an Intel Mac emulating a PPC Mac)?

Very strange, and probably slow too at 604e/233mHz speeds.

I wonder how it compares to iFusion?  I think I have read complaints that iFusion was never really finished the way it should have been.
