System 7.5.1 was the first to include the Mac OS logo (a blue variation of a smiley face), and Mac OS 7.6 was the first to be named "Mac OS" (to ensure that users would still identify it with Apple, even when used in "clones" from other companies).
These emulators were restricted to emulating the 68000 line of processors, and as such couldn't run versions of the Mac OS newer than 8.1, which required PowerPC processors.
Another PPC emulator is SheepShaver, which has been around since 1998 for the BeOS platform, but in 2002 was open sourced with porting efforts beginning to get it to run on other platforms.

Mac OS 7.5 was the first to be named Mac OS because of the appearance of Mac "clones", workalikes from other companies such as Power Computing and Motorola, and Apple wanted to make it clear that the operating system was its own intellectual property.
It is also the second Mac OS to include a command line (the first is the now-discontinued A/UX, which supported classic Mac OS applications on top of a UNIX kernel), although it is never seen unless the user launches a "terminal" program.
It is worth noting that the kernel of Mac OS X, Darwin, while not a reincarnation of Star Trek, runs on both x86 and PowerPC architectures, as have internal builds of Mac OS X Apple has been developing (in secret until June 2005 and openly since).

Users of the original Mac OS generally upgraded to Mac OS X, but a few criticized it as being more difficult and less user-friendly than the original Mac OS, for the lack of certain features that had not been re-implemented in the new OS, or for being slower on the same hardware (especially older hardware).

This will hardly slow the emulator down (you won't notice much difference when using Accordance) and it will allow the idle threat to rest when you're not actually typing or using the mouse.
The Emulator will often not mount a CD intended for a Windows Environment, especially if the Windows CD has an auto run feature (meaning it automatically opens an install window when you put it in your Windows CD).
When you need to use the CD on the Mac side to load more Accordance modules (you are buying more modules, aren't you!?), simply enable the CD function for the install, and then disable it again when you're finished.
