sheepshaver and intel

Hallo to all, did any of you make sheepshaver 2,3 universal work ?
I'm having problems, it crashes as soon as it starts.

Hi, Paolo -

This is the Using Mac OS 9 forum.

You should probably re-post your question in the appropriate OSX 10.4 forum. You can access those in the second section of this Category page -

Your best option is to contact the Sheepshaver developer.
First off the utility as far as I know requires a Mac OS 9 compatible ROM file, which you can only get from a machine that is Mac OS 9 compatible in the first place.

If you really need Mac OS 9, find a source that still sells Mac OS 9 compatible machines. My FAQ has a few, though I don't know if any sell in Italy:

Hi, actually I have 8 more macs that can run classic (mac classic, lc475, ppc 7200, 7600, g3 tower 300, imac g4 1000, g5 tower 1,8 dual).

But my new MB can not. And I'd like to have a portable for using pagemill, that I think be the simpler program of the kind ever made.
I like to make sites with it and then refine the pages I need to with other more powerful apps.
bye

Paolo,
Pagemill is so outdated many websites you would create with it would not work in many current browsers. If you want a good native webpage editor, there is http://www.barebones.com/ 's BBEdit. Some people also like iWeb which is part of the new iLife suite.
