Notes

Works fine for me, but I've only used it with the old Shanghai II game. I'm sure there are probably plenty of issues with other applications and system features.

Lion (10.7) Comments

Currently running it in DP3. Seems about as (un)stable as it was in every other version of OS X.

Worked very well on a MacBook Air 11' running OS X Snow Leopard.
Now it doesn't work anymore. It freezes on startup with Lion 10.7 first public release (11A511).

I'm being held back from upgrading to Lion 10.7, because SheepShaver (which I completely rely on to run a critically irreplaceable OS9 application on Snow Leopardl). Any definitive info on a SheepShaver source that is 10.7 compatible?

I cannot get SheepShaver to recognize the CD drive with Iion. I took an OS9.2.2 .smi file and converted it to .dmg. When that didn't work, I burned the .dmg to a RW-CD. When it tries to boot all I get is the floppy with question mark. Tried both settings of the "Boot from" preference. Tried disabling the CD-ROM and then re-enabling. No use.
