If you intend to install software in your SheepShaver VM, then you will need to expand that blank 30GB file, attach it in SheepShaver preferences and copy the Mac OS 9 System Folder from the 250MB disk image to the 30GB one. The base hard disk image comes with a bunch of useful software on it, but please note that this 250MB disk image is not intended for users to install more software. They already contain a compatible ROM file ( - Mac OS ROM 1.1 from an iMac G3), a 250MB hard disk image on which Mac OS 9.0.4 is already installed (as well as an optional empty 30GB, yes 30 gigabytes, disk image to accomodate heavy disk space use). These bundles were put together by and are intended to be the easiest possible for beginners. SheepShaver is not perfect (it cannot run MacOS 9.1 or 9.2), but enables users to run the vast majority of PPC software for Macintosh on their PC, which is all things considered, extraordinary, especially back in the year 1998.
SheepShaver started as a commercial project in 1998 but is now open source since 2002. SheepShaver is a PowerPC (PPC) emulator which allows you to run Mac OS 7.5 up to Mac OS 9.0.4 on various platforms, such as on Windows. What is SheepShaver PPC emulator (for Windows + Mac OS X)?
