Hello, I bought some used educational (MAC-HFC) cd-rom's and thought they may run on my PC but they didn't even list the content of the cd's except the name and how many mb the cd has on it. Is there a way to run it on XP to learn more about "Mac's of yesteryear"?

Abort, Retry, Fail?

You should probably ask in the Windows XP forum

Well, yes, maybe, if you use a mac
emulator to run the CDs..macs use a
completely different set of processor
instructions , in addition to a different file
system,, so simply being able to read the
CDs isn't gonna be enough, if you want to
run the stuff on them.
An emulator runs in a window like any
other Windows app, except the window
represents the Mac monitor screen..as
long as the cdroms are 'fat' (often the
case for educational discs), or in other
words , can run on both 68k
(non-powermac) and powermac, then
they'll run on an emulator (emulators
AFAIK currently only emulate non-PPC
macs) ..Basilisk 2 is the best of them,
and runs nicely indeed on XP with plenty
of processor speed and memory..
You'd have to spend some time locating
and installing it though, as well as on OS
for it afterwards (available from Apple) but
you should be able to find it all thru
Google or such..
So you've just gotta ask yourself how
much you want to be able to run Mac stuff
on your PC..... :)
