To running Classic applications on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard: SheepShaver, Basilisk & Mini vMac. Last month we investigated three solutions How do I emulate that on a modern Intel machine? Any advice would be much obliged.According to Hoyle. Optimally, we want to get them set up with a thin-panel 21.5" iMac running a quad-core i5 and 16 GB of RAM since the database is contained in the old software, itself running in Panther, realistically the safest method would be to image the entire computer through Target Disk Mode and create some sort of emulated virtual machine within the newer OS, be it Sierra or otherwise however, Panther was released before any Mac used Intel processors, and thereby is written in a strictly PowerPC-based architecture. The software contains a huge database that is vital to the company to continue functioning however, the iMac is predictably on its last leg and needs to be replaced very soon. ![]() Problem is, when the most recent catalouge was implemented roughly 15 years ago, it was designed to be a 15" iMac G4 with an 800 MHz PPC G4 chip and 256 mb of RAM running OS X 10.3.9 Panther and a custom-ordered/designed catalogue software application written specifically for this company and no other purpose (as in, it's not available for purchase otherwise).
