| 468371 | 2006-07-14 12:38:00 | Yes, you're right, December 2001 was the last update, but the Mac OS 8 - 9.1 styled system originated in 1997 which is between 95 and 98 (at least in terms of dates). :) | maccrazy (6741) | ||
| 468372 | 2006-07-14 13:21:00 | I remember Mac OS 8, as I use to use Macs back in primary school in 1995 was there a Mac OS 7? | stu161204 (123) | ||
| 468373 | 2006-07-14 20:45:00 | I remember Mac OS 8, as I use to use Macs back in primary school in 1995 was there a Mac OS 7? Yep - There were many versions of OS 7 there was also OS 5 and 6 before that. en.wikipedia.org Mac OS 8 was released on July 26, 1997. Initially planned as Mac OS 7.7, it was renumbered "8" to exploit a legal loophole to accomplish Jobs' goal of terminating third-party manufacturers' licenses to System 7 and shutting down the Macintosh clone market. Apple sold 1.2 million copies of Mac OS 8 in its first two weeks of availability and 3 million within six months. |

| 468376 | 2006-07-20 01:52:00 | was there a Mac OS 7? There was, although it didn't get the "Mac OS" name until 7.5.1 (or it might've been 7.5.2). Previous versions were just known as "system software" (eg. "System 7"). Apple adopted the Mac OS name when they licensed out the OS, although it only appeared on the startup screen, not in the About This Computer box. If I recall correctly, the disks still called it "System 7.5.1" and it wasn't sold as Mac OS until 7.6. Initially planned as Mac OS 7.7, it was renumbered "8" to exploit a legal loophole to accomplish Jobs' goal of terminating third-party manufacturers' licenses to System 7 and shutting down the Macintosh clone market. I'm pretty sure that my retail copy of 8.1 is supported on clones. I don't have the manual on hand, but I'm pretty sure that it at least implied compatibility with clones. I'm pretty sure 9 required an Apple system though. |

| 468377 | 2006-08-25 01:44:00 | I hate to bring this thread back to the top again guys but a mate just turned up with a CD labelled: "eMac Mac OS X Install Disk 1". A couple of questions: Being Disk 1 does this mean there is more? I doesn’t say 1 of 20 or whatever. :confused: Given that XP fits on one disk I wonder? Anyway, I stuck it in the CD and the ROM spun up but nothing. So I turned it off and rebooted with the CD ROM still in, hoping it might do something, but alas nothing. Anyone any comments before it goes back in the corner until an Apple wiz turns up. :D |

Anyone any comments before it goes back in the corner until an Apple wiz turns up . :D What version of OS X? DVD or CD? I think there is usually about 3 if I remember correctly for 10 . 3 at least . OS X is quite a big install as there are quite a few extra applications you get and it has a ton of printer drivers and language options (if you don't select these when you install it might not ask for the last disc) . You hold the C key down when booting to boot off a CD with a mac (and keep holding it until you hear the CD being actively read) :lol: Or holding the option key down will show you all the options you have to boot off . . Note: that the eMac disc will probably only work on an eMac and possibly only the model eMac it accompanies . |
