WaMCoM 1.3.1 (if you're lucky enough to get it to run in SheepShaver under either Mac OS 8.6 or OS 9.0.x, then you're set) Netscape 4.8 or Netscape 7.0.2 (to substitute for WaMCoM/Mozilla) ICab 2.9.9 (because 3.0.5 can also be flakey at times) If i were you, I'd have at least the following browsers installed with SheepShaver in case a web page you're viewing just doesn't work at all in one particular browser. I also have tried other browsers like Netscape and Opera, but they were no faster than even WaMCoM was on my 6100. I have made sure I installed all the necessary Mac OS updates for 8.6 and even made sure I had the latest MRJ 2.2.6 (Macintosh Runtime for Java) installed. Unfortunately, WaMCoM doesn't run on SheepShaver in Mac OS 8.6. iCab was by far the slowest, and MSiE was predictably fast(er). In OS 8.6 under SheepShaver, only MSiE, iCab 3.x.x work fine. i don't have time to tinker with it these days, but someday i'll try that 9.2.x finder-swapping technique mentioned in another post here on this forum. OS 9 under sheepshaver unfortunately somehow hates me and won't let me go online. In SheepShaver (under all of the above systems), I have only managed to run up to Mac OS 8.6 and was able to use the internet right off the bat. HP Pavilion Media Center PC 2.13 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (spring 2007) Compaq Presario 800mhz AMD (spring 2000)Ĭompaq Presario 1.4 GHz Intel Centrino Mobile (spring 2005).I have used SheepShaver on 3 different Windows PCs. WaMCoM feels like it sits comfortably in between the other two browsers and is as close to Firefox as you can get for OS 9. However, the most compatible browser to date is iCab 3.0.5. I can give you a fair idea of which one runs the fastest on my system but you'd be sacrificing compatibility with today's web standards (javascript, css, unicode, etc).īy far, the fastest browser for OS 9 on a real mac (if settings are unchanged post-install) is Explorer. I have also tested all of those browsers on Mac OS 7.5.x through 9.1 on that system. I have used pretty much all major 4 browsers for OS 9 on my old 6100/60 and also when i upgraded it to a 6100/G3 (480mhz). FilipeMB wrote:Somebody has a glue? I use IE in SheepShaver and it's a little bit slow.
