The Quadra 900 was launched in 1991, so we're stepping back almost 30 years. It is essentially a virtual machine that emulates a 1990's pre-PowerPC era Macintosh Quadra 900 equipped with a Motorola processor. The app is called 'macintosh.js.' The '.js' suffix is appropriate, since the entire program is written in JavaScript. The software runs on current iterations of macOS as well as Windows and Linux operating systems. Well, at least from one of its creators.įelix Rieseberg, a senior staff engineer at Slack, has developed an app that emulates Mac OS 8.
Those were the days: Have you ever found yourself missing the old Macintosh days? There's an app for that, and it comes from the most unlikely source-Slack.
