Given the fact that Mac OS 9 and the old ROMs have been unsupported for many years now, Apple doesn't seem all that interested in chasing people away from them, and the worst- case scenario is a "cease and desist" letter to me from Apple Legal (i. I'd have to delete the downloadable COI file from the server), I figure the benefits far outweigh the risks. Regensburg and the rest of the Sheep.

Michael Goodine describes the update: This one offers a fix for the "cannot map RAM" error that has been bugging a lot of users for a while. That particular bug has made the emulator unusable for some people. The build also incorporates all of the updates from the other builds we've posted. It's now possible to raise the amount of RAM in the emulated machine past the old limits.
However, while the new build is a universal binary, the "cannot map RAM" fix doesn't work for users of PPC Macs, but is for Intel users only. I think we'll have a solution to that in the near future, but for now this feature doesn't apply to PPC users. If you've tried this new build. See also our Sheep.

We received a number of readers responses expressing interested interest in using Sheep. Shaver to recreate Classic on Intel Macs.
Those who have used it say that set up is not easy. David Levy has had success with a pre- configured version of Sheep. Shaver called COI Chubby Bunny: I run a version of Sheep.
Shaver called COI, Classic on Intel "Chubby Bunny" that can be downloaded using Bit. Torrent and comes preconfigured with a ROM file, requiring almost no setup.

Freddiemac also reported a problem and his workaround: The package I downloaded with VERY CLEAR directions and with everything included can be found here: http: //grazer. Sheep. Saver. Package. I had hesitated upgrading my Powerbook G4 for 5 years because I rely heavily on Page.
Maker. With over 1. Page. Maker, the transition to In. Design was not enticing, considering that the conversion process has rarely been flawless from PM to In. Design. But, a new Mac. Book Pro had my name on it and it called me with its siren song. I succumbed and purchased it. Having read Michael's take on Sheep.
Shaver, I gave it a try. It is AMAZING. Speed and stability have never been an issue, so far. The one glitch is that somehow in transferring files to the Sheep. Shaver volume REVERSES the file type and file creator on the files. So, you need a program like File. Buddy that allows you to "re- reverse" the letters, fixing both type and creator. So, for example, if a file type is supposed to be "APPL", when it is transferred over to the Sheep.
Shaver OS 9 volume, it shows up as unreadable. When opening up File. Buddy, the type is "LPPA." By reversing the letters, saving, and closing File.
Buddy, all is good. The other way of putting files on the volume is by burning a CD (not DVD) with your files, and then opening up the disc from within Sheep. Shaver volume. You can then copy files over without having to go through the File. Buddy method. But, I now have Pagemaker working on my Intel Mac, and all is good with the world. Rory was not satisfied with Sheep.
Shaver. I have used Sheep. Shaver on and off for maybe two years. There are many things that seem to make it not quite ready for prime time. I wish it was though. As it is, I find it safer for my data to work in Classic on a second ( PPC ) Mac, although that is less than optimal. John Stills was typical as to interest we received from readers: Continued ability to run the Classic environment as OS X moves forward on Intel chips is extremely important to me.
I rely heavily on Live.
