![]() MacOS 9 and older versions are typically referred to as "classic" MacOS by most mac users and running "classic" apps on PowerPC macs was supported in MacOS X through MacOS X 10.4 (Tiger). the newer NeXTstep/OpenStep-derived OS is referred to as "MacOS X", the older OS was simply called "System" until the name was changed to MacOS around the time MacOS 7.6 or 8 was released (made it easy to screw the clone manufacturers based on a naming technicality). The only tipoff to what the OP was really looking for was the mention of Atari800MacX.īoth are called MacOS. ![]() Only reason I bring it up is the thread title made me think it was about the old MacOS, not OS X. The old OS name actually was MacOS, the new one isn't, because technically OS X runs on more platforms than just the Mac. You can call it Classic, but that's not the name for it. ![]() All the Mac people around me call pre OS-X "Classic", since the the current OS is "Mac OS X".
