3th3r Mac OS
In 1984 Apple Computer unveiled their Macintosh. It included a new user interface that revolutionized the way people though about computer interaction. Originally referred to as simply 'Macintosh System', the underlying OS was a single-tasking disk system for the Motorola 68K CPU. Significant changes were made in MacOS 7.x.
Emulation note: For MacOS 0.x-6.x we recommend the vMac Mini emulator.
System 3.0 debuted with the introduction of the Mac Plus in January 1986, and like the Plus, it changed the way Mac enthusiasts used their machines. The most visible upgrade to the system software since its inception, and only surpassed by System 7 and Mac OS 8 in functional and visual changes, it was a dramatic change from System 2.0.
- System 3 was the third major version of the Macintosh system file. First released as part of Macintosh System Software 0.7 in January 1986, its most notable change was the switch from MFS to HFS for the file system. Versions of System 3 System 3.0.
- Cheetah 3D is a software specially built for Mac. It is easy to learn, powerful and allowing to create nice 3D artworks thanks to a full set of polygons, subdivision surfaces, and spline modeling tools. If you are a new CAD user, you will be able to start 3D modeling quite easily using this software!
It is possible to write Macintosh 400k/800k images to a real disk using a Kryoflux.
Note: Wikipedia's/Apple's Developer CD Classic Mac OS 'System Software' numbering scheme is GARBAGE and should NOT be used.

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
(NB: PowerPC applications can still be run in Snow Leopard using Rosetta, but they will not work in later versions of OS X. For detailed information see this user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6271 )
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is still available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
and in the UK:
but like Leopard, Snow Leopard is no longer supported by Apple in terms of security updates.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes (you will need the latest version in order to synch with mobile devices).
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
iCloud system requirements:
If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard):
