Last week when I was too lazy (or sore) to head up to my upstairs office to update a page of our garden plan, I simply fired up AppleWorks 6 under Sheepshaver on the MacBook Pro downstairs, entered the necessary information, and saved the file.

But I ended up learning to like Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) a little bit, and went with Sheepshaver emulation instead. I'd originally planned to reformat the MacBook Pro's drive and install Snow Leopard with its Rosetta emulator on it that would allow running PowerPC apps like AppleWorks 6. I have tons of files still in ClarisWorks/AppleWorks format that I need to access and occasionally update from the new laptop. But possibly even more important is the ability to run AppleWorks 6 on the new MacBook Pro, which only has Lion installed, and ClarisWorks/AppleWorks 5 on the Mac Mini. This means that both BeOS/Linux and MacOS applications can run at the same time (usually in a window on the BeOS/Linux desktop) and data can be exchanged between them. Then there are those shareware passwords I forgot to record elsewhere that are still trapped in Claris Emailer. SheepShaver is a MacOS run-time environment for BeOS and Linux that allows you to run classic MacOS applications inside the BeOS/Linux multitasking environment. Only caveat is that that program only runs on classic. Search for the Mac OS rom update 1.0 and use the program tomeviewer to unpack it.
You can name it whatever you want, such as Mac OS 9.hfv, and add the extension HFV. This creates a disk file of that size in the SheepShaver directory. The rom file can be obtained from the apple web site. Set the Size to 500 minimum or 1000 (1GB) for more storage.

But every now and then, I need to change something in a legacy column that was written with Claris Home Page that I can't make or don't know how to make Dreamweaver do. And it needs a universal system 9 disk to install from. Running Mac OS 9. I've gradually updated most of my software to Intel compatible versions for OS X. Note: Always select Ignore Illegal Memory Accesses to prevent some programs from crashing SheepShaver. Select Dont Use CPU When Idle to allow SheepShaver to sleep when not active.

My uses for Classic with Sheepshaver are pretty limited, but important. Set the ram size available for Mac OS and select the rom file to use.
