I don’t specifically recall macintosh manager being used as I would’ve been too young to even know what that software was or why it was important… But, based on how the login window (produced by the multiple users feature in OS 9 (both the click name/type password and type name and password variations)) looked on one emulated Mac and the fact that I could not get similar restrictions to pop up seems to indicate in hindsight that all of the macs in the schools were centrally controlled and managed by Macintosh manager or a similar program.Īny idea where to go with this in an attempt to fall down the rabbit hole? Any idea what the appropriate set up would be to emulate such an environment? I’m not necessarily sure if the at ease thing that ran under system seven and eight would have some sort of network component or even how to set that up. I am looking for whatever the last version of Macintosh manager is that ran under OS 9.0.4 so I can attempt to crash the universe by networking two or more emulated power PCs macs in an attempt to re-create a set up similar to that on the computers that were in the schools at the time. Some schools, if you were lucky enough would have power Macs running either OS 7, OS 8, or OS 9 with some sort of network login feature and At ease at some sites. I remember several variations of Macintosh being in the schools from fourth grade on up. So… I endeavored to set up a lab that is reminiscent to that of the computers in the schools of my childhood. More specifically, I recently discovered that you can emulate power PC Macs on a PC using a program called sheep shaver. This has been an interesting rabbit hole to climb down.
