MacX 2.0

MacX is Apple's enchanced X Window System software for Power Macintosh and 68k Macintosh platforms. MacX's server implementation combined with X11R6.1 server technology, provides Mac OS users with the ability to concurrently access and display Macintosh applications and network-based X applications.

MacX version 2.0 offers significant enhancements from the previous versions. Primary among there is X11 release 6.1 compatibility.

Compatibility
Architecture: 68k PPC

• To run the MacX package you will need the following:
  • At least 8 MB of RAM for 680x0-based computers and 16 MB of RAM for PowerPC processor-based computers.
  • 18 megabytes of available disk space.
  • Mac OS 7.1 or later; Mac OS 7.5.3 or later recommended.
  • A Macintosh or Mac OS-compatible computer with a 68030 or faster processor.
  • If you are running Open Transport, version 1.1.1 or later is highly recommended.
  • CD-ROM drive.

Runs very well on Basilisk II (build 142, 32bit Win XP), screenshots 2 - 4 above: Pic 2 = xterm session. Pic 3 = Gedit text editor and open text document. Pic 4 = OpenOffice 3.x, editing Draw document. All shots taken as x-served to Basilisk II running Mac OS 7.6.1.

[Caveat] Basilisk II build 142, has excellent stable TCP/IP connectivity over 32bit Windows. MacX 2.0 may not work as smoothly in the JIT builds of Basilisk II or SheepShaver on other systems.
