Q: upgrading from a PowerMac 7100/66 running OS7.5 to a MacBookPro running OSX
I'm trying to load Sheepshaver 2.3 onto a MacBookPro running 10.4.9. I seem to have the app plus the Sheepshaver GUI app. Starting the GUI app works but, when I hit the start button, I get:
Sheepshaver error
Invalid ROM file size: Sheepshaver requires a 4MB PowerMac ROM.
I have the Mac OS ROM Update 1.0.smi in the same folder as the Sheepshaver apps. Thsi seems to be the thing necessary to get Sheepshaver working according to the download site.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
I also have a PowerPC 8200/120 running 8.6 but have never taken to using it, if this helps in anyway.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help with this.

ps. Does anyone know why Apple didn't think of providing a fully working solution to getting old data and software to work on these intel machines?
