  • Mac OS 8 running as an Electron app emulating a 1991 Quadra

    From OSnews@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jul 29 00:31:19 2020
    This is Mac OS 8, running in an Electron app pretending to be a 1991 Macintosh Quadra. Yes, it';s the full thing. I';m sorry.
    Does it work?
    Yes! Quite well, actually - on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Bear in mind that this is written entirely in JavaScript, so please adjust your expectations. The virtual machine is emulating a 1991 Macintosh Quadra 900 with a Motorola CPU, which Apple used
    before switching to IBM';s PowerPC architecture in the late 1990s.

    This exists now.
