To be honest you might be better off buying a PowerMac G4 Graphite or Quicksilver and running your classic apps on that, they will run far better and be simpler and less work to install. Have a look on eBay.
Having said that check this link out as I think it will assist you with your SheepShaver problems: http://theappleblog.com/2006/07/01/classic-on-intel-macs-courtesy-of-sheepshaver / -

Apr 2, 2007 6:36 AM in response to Antonio Roccoby GimpyMacUser,I have read through the tutorial, but I don't understand at least some parts of it. I was hoping someone would help explain the parts that I do not understand, and hopefully that would be enough to get SheepShaver up and running on my MacBook Pro. I do have a PowerBook G4, but we have turned it into our household computer, which causes problems when I want to run an analysis for several hours.
I wouldn't say that I am computer illiterate, but I'm definitely on the lower end compared to folks on this message board. Antonio (or anyone else), I would greatly appreciate any help with setting up SheepShaver (even if the help is spread over a couple weeks).
Thanks,

Apr 2, 2007 7:04 AM in response to GimpyMacUserby Sludgedragon,Wow! I googled PAUP and that is some specialized software.
I did see they are working on a version for Intel Macs. I also saw they had versions for even 68k (non-PowerPC) Macs that just do it more slowly. They recommend at least System 7.6! I guess what takes several hours on an OSX Mac would have to work overnight on a 68k.
Maybe pick up an old old machine for cheap, or borrow one. I am guessing you are in an academic environment, I bet somebody has something like that sitting around. An old Powermac or iMac or something. Then you could solve the SheepShaver problem with less urgency. -
Apr 2, 2007 10:37 AM in response to GimpyMacUserby Allan Eckert,Hi GimpyMacUser;
After you provided the name of the application, I was able to find this on the web about running PAUO 4.0 on Intel based Macs.
NOTE FOR INTEL MAC USERS: Intel Macs require a separate download (command-line only at this time). Contact support@sinauer.com for download instructions after purchase. When emailing, it will help to expedite the process if you include as much as possible of the following information: when the purchase was made, where it was purchased, where it was shipped to, the invoice number, and the program serial number.
Hope this helps.
Allan
