Emulation
This app works with: SheepShaver, Basilisk II,

This is the beta version of Mac OS 8.0 codename "Tempo", the first Mac OS with the appearance theme as the replacement of the "Copland", one of the scrapped development with Appearance and many more.

Really thanks to Mitrokhin for creating images for Apple betas and uploaded them to MediaFire. The images are not bootable (some of them are bootable) so you need the pre-installed copy of Mac OS or boot disk and install them on the hard drive. And please don't upgrade from the stable version of Mac OS to this unstable beta version. And thanks to Forcedperfect for the pictures of Mac OS betas.

Download Mac OS 8.0a2c5 "Speedy"
Before Mac OS 8.0 it was Mac OS 7.7 codenamed "Tempo", Special menu "Speedy" after the development "Copland" scrapped. This build includes programs which seem to be purely for testing such as ConMen. And the best thing is this build has the CHRP enabler! Pictures are located here.

Compatibility
Architecture: 68k PPC

Runs on any 68k/PPC Macintosh or clone that can run Mac OS 8.0
Note If installing this on SheepShaver, avoid running the Mac OS Setup Assistant that runs when you boot up for the 1st time. Exit out of it when it 1st launches, ignoring warnings that you haven't finished setting up. This wizard causes SheepShaver to crash. You can manually configure your user settings in the Control Panels after it boots up, without re-invoking the wizard.

Same thing for me, uyjulian. Every time, Mediafire comes up with the "File not found" error. Angry
