Download Sheep Shaver 2.3-Pre for MacOS X
File Description
For those of you who really love your classic Mac setup, you can run MacOS 9 on an Intel Mac thanks to a program called Sheep Shaver. Here are the steps:

Get Sheep Shaver
* Download Sheep Shaver. It is an open source PowerPC MacOS run-time environment that enables you to run PowerPC Classic MacOS software on your computer even if you are using a different operating system.
* Unzip it to a folder.

Get a ROM
* Download a ROM because Sheep Shaver needs it to work. You have two choices:
o You can use the ROM found at RapidShare; it's ready for use with Sheep Shaver.
o Apple has one their website, but you'd need a MacOS 9 to access it and you'd need an application called TomeViewer to extract your own ROM from it.
* Place the ROM in the Sheep Shaver folder.

Sheep Shaver GUI Part 1
* In the GUI you'll see many tabs. Click on the "Memory/Misc" tab.
* When you're in "Memory/Misc," click the "Browse" button.
* In the menu that appears, find the MAC OS ROM file in the Sheep Shaver folder.
* Still in the "Memory/Misc" tab, find the "MacOS RAM Size (MB)" field. Type in "128" to increase the RAM size to 128 MB.

Sheep Shaver GUI Part 2
* Click on the "Volumes" tab.
* Once you're in "Volumes," click on "Create." This will create a MacOS 9 volume to store your files.
* Save this new volume to your Sheep Shaver folder; make the image size at least 200 MB.

Installing Your OS
* Place your MacOS 8 or MacOS 9 CD into your Intel Mac's drive. Press the "Start" button.
* Note: If you don't have a CD, Apple's vintage OSs are available for download at their Older System site.
* Sheep Shaver will launch and begin the install process and you're done.

Of course, performance may vary depending on your system.
