It's an Open Source PowerPC Mac emulator that will run classic Mac OS
software, even on Intel machines. There are windows, Mac OS X (fat
binary) and linux builds available.
Enjoy.
I saw that as well today, but am not sure where I have all of my
"classic" CD's. I've gotten as far as getting it to complain I was
trying to boot to old of a version of the OS. Does anyone have any
experience with it? How is the frame rate? I really like the look
of Sheepshaver, it looks to be just what I'm after. Didn't it
originally run on the Amiga? ISTR, having it on my A3000.
