	The Mac Observer: Mac OS 8 - Resistance Is Futile
		Mac OS 8 (a.k.a., Tempo), the semi-successor to Apple's now-defunct Copland project, officially was announced on July 22, and is expected to reach stores by July 26th.
		OS 8 will run in as little as 8 MB of physical memory (with virtual memory on, and set to 16 MB), but we recommend having at least 16 MB of physical RAM for satisfactory performance (and preferably 32 MB of real RAM to be comfortably safe).
		Mac OS users have always had the ability to display full screen images on their desktops, but only through the use of a shareware add-ons.

	Technical Note TN1163: Mac OS 8.6
		Mac OS 8.6 can be installed on any Macintosh that originally shipped with a PowerPC processor that has at least 24 megabytes of physical RAM and a minimum of 32 megabytes of logical RAM (virtual memory is set to 64 megabytes by default if there is less than 64 megabytes of physical RAM installed).
		Mac OS 8.6 is tested and qualified by Apple to run on Apple PowerPC-based Mac OS computers.
		Mac OS 8.6 introduces locales for retrieval of language and region specific information and parameters for use in other Mac OS services.

	Wired News: Mac OS 8 Arrives
		On Tuesday, Apple Computer is expected to unveil Mac OS 8, the first overhaul of its operating system in nearly seven years, delivering improvements in performance, simplifying its user interface, and making it easier to connect to the Internet.
		For the average user, the $99 Mac OS 8's most obvious difference will be the so-called "platinum appearance," a somewhat new look that replaces the flat 2-D appearance of past systems with 3-D-looking objects shaded in gray.
		More importantly, however, the Mac OS 8 improvements may be enough to convince computer buyers who are sitting on the fence between a Mac and a Windows machine to go with a Macintosh, he said.

	Mac OS 8.5
		Mac OS 8.5 is PowerPC native, the speed to open and to close some applications, to copy and to delete are significantly increased from previous versions.
		Mac OS Easy Open and PC Exchange were merged into File Exchange.
		However, my impression is that Mac OS 8.5 has significant improvements that work even for the usual Mac user, that is, for those users who do not use heavy duty image rendering programs.

	Mac OS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mac OS, which stands for Macintosh Operating System, is the trademarked name for a series of graphical user interface-based operating systems developed by Apple Computer for their Macintosh line of computer systems.
		System 7.5.1 was the first to include the Mac OS logo (a variation on the original "Happy Mac" smiley face Finder startup icon), 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).
		The Mac OS memory management describes how the Macintosh managed RAM and virtual memory before the switch to the Unix-based Mac OS X. It has been defunct since Mac OS X, but most of the APIs are still available via the Carbon compatibility layer.

	Mac OS history - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first version of the Mac OS is easily distinguished between other operating systems from the same period because it does not use a command line interface; it was one of the first operating systems to use an entirely graphical user interface.
		Mac OS 8.1 saw the introduction of an updated version of the HFS and HFS+ file systems, which fixed many of the limitations of the earlier system (HFS+ continues to be used in Mac OS X).
		Mac OS 9 was released on October 23, 1999.

	Technical Note TN1121: Mac OS 8.1
		Under Mac OS 8 and later, this field is used by Finder; if Finder ever relinquishes the use of the field, it will set this bit.
		Mac OS 8.1 introduces a few changes to the existing File Manager API that developers should be aware of.
		In Mac OS 8.1, the Text Encoding Converter extension is a required system component; the Extensions Manager will not allow it to be disabled, Finder will issue a warning if a user attempts to remove it, and a boot warning will be issued if it is not present.

	Release Mac OS 8.1 and 8.5.1 Petition
		In the same spirit that prompted Apple to release the complete Mac OS 7.5.3 operating system as a free download several years ago, we also believe that Apple should also make the complete Mac OS 8.1 and 8.5.1 operating systems available for free public download.
		And while Mac OS 7.5.3 was the last incarnation to support "32-bit dirty" machines (II, IIx, IIcx, and SE/30), MacOS 7.6.1 (which is little more than an update to 7.5.3, both freely available from Apple) was the last incarnation to support 68030 and earlier processors.
		The Release Mac OS 8.1 and 8.5.1 Petition to Apple Computer, Inc. was created by owners and enthusiasts of legacy Macintosh systems and written by Steve Godun.

		However, upon beta testing Mac OS 8.5, "all problems (minus the printing issues present on all machines) have been resolved." Bascom is running the Client 5.11 with latest released update.

	Mac OS 9 Compatibility, Upgrades, and Resources
		If you have an older Mac that is not supported by OS X - or even one of the slower G3 machines that is - there is still a strong case to me made for running OS 9, which is a great operating system.
		Apple has posted a handy compatibility table outlining which Mac models, from the '040 Centris machines of the early 90s through the new aluminum PowerBooks, are supported (or not) by the Classic Mac OS versions 8.x and 9.x.
		The only currently available new Macs that can dual-boot into OS 9 are the recently upgraded 800 MHz and 900 MHz iBooks, the 15" PowerBook G4 models, and a smattering of holdover dual bootable configurations of the original Mirror Drive Door G4 Power Mac.

		Mac OS 8.5 represents a huge technological leap for the Mac, and shows how far the Mac has really come in a relatively short time.
		Mac OS 8.1 to Mac OS 8.5 had more innovations and improvements than Windows 98 did over Windows 95, and that took three years!
