An iPAQ Running MacOS?
Posted by Janak Parekh in "SOFTWARE" @ 01:27 PM
This is a pretty neat hack, and almost unbelieveable at that. Someone has posted instructions on how to get MacOS running on an iPAQ running Linux.

How did they do this? They flashed the iPAQ with the Familiar Linux distribution, and then installed a Zaurus port of the Basilisk II emulator, which emulates a Motorola 68k chip. They were then able to install a legacy version of the MacOS on top of this emulation setup.
A English translation is available here (note that it might be a bit slow).
