Lightbulb mac os on a PC
i was just wodering if it is possible to run a macintosh os on a pc. is it as easy as using the program boot magic and installing the macintosh os on 1 partition and the windows os on the other partition, or is it more complicating than that or is it just impossible. if it isnt possible, could you please explain why? to me i think this is a very very interesting topic.

thanks.

It's possible (barely). You have to get a Mac ROM, and there is where the problem lies. MacOS won't run on anything but a Mac processor, and Mac won't sell you the ROM.

There are a couple of programs available that'll let you run Windows or Unix on a Mac, but there's just not much available to run MacOS on a PC.

Reading the above makes me sound like a has-been... probably true!
