Yes, kinda, in a virtual machine. It actually works quite well, in my experience. Of course, it's slower than a real Mac, but the speed is quite acceptable. :yes: It also has internet support, and I can mount shared folders from the host OS onto Mac OS X. :)

Where you make a virtual machine for it, on the physical drive, then boot from it?

No, it boots off of a virtual hard disk. :yes:

OS X 10.4.10 x86, also in VMware.



Notice the About this Mac screen incorrectly identifies the processor (it's really an AMD Mobile Sempron). The Apple System Profiler correctly identifies it, though.

It's also worth noting that programs actually WORK on this one. With my 10.4.1 disk image, any programs I installed that didn't come with the image would simply bounce on the dock one time and do nothing (which is why I got a new disk image). :wacko: This one works fine, thankfully, and is much more up-to-date. :)
