Hi
Im looking for BeOS for Mac, there was a version for PPC, if anyone has it or saw the file name on the BeOS site before it was closed, thats all im really asking for the file name, im doing the search for it myself but i cant find something i dont know the name too.
Id really appreciate it if anyone could tell me the archive name to BeOS for PPC if you have it or ever saw it and have it written down somewhere, of course if you have a link to a site with it that would be even better, thanks for any help.

I just purchased BeOS R4.5 on eBay. Since BeOS is dual-platform on one CD, I'll make a disk image (and test it, of course; I've downloaded a few BeOS images that did not work) for you. Email me if you are still interested.

Summary: Unfortunately, Apple refused to provide Be, Inc. with the information necessary to allow BeOS to run on G3- and G4-based Macintosh systems. They were funny that way. Here's a quote from The Man Himse...
Summary: I can't answer your particular question regarding performance comparisons, but I would like to comment on this: "I recently read here that it doesn't make much sense in buying BeOS unless it is for th...
