With the newer Intel Macs, you have to run a Classic emulator such as SheepShaver, which requires you to extract the Mac ROMs from your older Classic Mac and then install Mac OS 9.ДЄ related program is Chubby Bunny, which comes bundled with all of that included (google the term 'Classic-On-Intel v 4.0.1 chubby bunny'). Here is a post I recently assembled about the use of Sheep Shaver: I agree with IIIaass' and WZZZ's links to the use of Sheep Shaver if the OP must absolutely use his Classic CAD program on his new Mac Mini. Hence, this is not a problem that can be solved with virtualization. Lion, Maverick and Yosemite) on a Mac.ДЄlso, with the 95% reduction in the price of Snow Leopard Server, the issue has become moot for most who require the virtualization of Snow Leopard.ДЇor the record, only the PPC version of Tiger will run the Classic Environment, but unfortunately only the Intel version of Tiger can be run in virtualization at this time.

It was a common Urban Myth that the Snow Leopard EULA prohibits its virtualization in OS X Lion (and hence later in: Mt. Yes I was aware of that but only Snow Leopard Server (or later) are legally allowed to be run in virtual machines, hence why I said 'officially'. The latest OS X version that supports Classic is Tiger (10.4.) I don't know if it's possible to run 10.4 in a virtual machine on a modern Mac running 10.10. In theory VMware Fusion and Parallels should also be able to do that.

I have as a test successfully run Snow Leopard Server in VirtualBox on a Mac Pro that itself was running Yosemite. Officially you cannot run anything earlier than Snow Leopard Server i.e. Snow Leopard Server still included or at least had the option to install Rosetta. Other than that, the official answer is to run Snow Leopard Server in a Virtual Machine on a real Mac. This is the approach I use for my favourite old tools. Such an old application will not benefit from running on a new Mac so keeping an old Mac to use it is an option. (I wonder if we are talking about Claris CAD.) Now saying that I too have some favourite old applications that will not work without Rosetta - thankfully none of them are the even older Classic applications, however I at least do not rely on them to earn a living. If this is so important to your work you should have long ago taken steps to replace it with an application that continues to be upgraded. See Classic, Rosetta, and 32/64 bit revisited.

I have no credentials to answer this basically but that's how I imagine it.Classic is absolutely ancient and long discontinued, it's death even pre-dates the discontinuation of Rosetta.

So if a business springs up as the form of a restaurant, and that business as operating system learns how to create successful patterns using spatulas and fryolators and hot plates, then to move your business to a farm that has tractors and shovels and troughs, you basically have to start all over with your implementation even if your business plan is the same.Д«ut, as those patterns become satisfied, of 'get my pile of stuff moved from this container to that container', the issue of plates and troughs becomes solved and you get rapid springs forward of completing your task of migrating.

So for my cute metaphor, which I look forward to improvements, I think of the general problem as 'we need to run a business' as an analogue of 'we need to run an operating system and some programs' the machine architecture is the amalgamation of tools and techniques. I have a computer science degree and I could only ever hope to understand it with cute metaphors.
