This guide is intended at Mac OSX users...

... and unzipped it, just follow the next steps

here is the content of SheepShaver archive..(which you should place in your Applications folder..)

This folder will serve as an exchange folder betweenOS9 and OSX environments (see next slides).

2. you will have to check the paths to:

2. To this purpose, run SheepShaverPrefs...
