The ROM I got for SheepShaver was obtained as recommended on <http://theappleblog.com/2006/07/01/classic-on-intel-macs-courtesy-of-sh eepshaver/> i.e. I got from it from MacOS ROM Update 1.0 (from the Apple site) and used TomeViewer to extract the ROM. The OS 9.0 CD is black, not grey, so I assumed it was a general retail version and not specific to a machine. Maybe I should try getting hold of a different (earlier) OS - eg OS 8.x? Kit

I'd like to see if SheepShaver is more stable with it on this G5. -- Note: Please send all responses to the relevant news group.

The only CopyROM I can find on Versiontracker is AutoCopyROM Is that the same program you are refering to? Kit

I'll look on ebay for a proper retail version. Any idea where else I might look for it? Kit
