For #MARCHintosh this year Iā€™m launching https://infinitemac.org. It features runnable versions of almost every classic System Software/Mac OS release, from 1984ā€™s System 1.0 to 2000ā€™s Mac OS 9.0.4.

This involved porting another emulator to the web (Mini vMac), tracking down 35 install disks, and the usual fighting with file systems. The blog post at https://blog.persistent.info/2023/03/infinitemac-dot-org.html has more details.

Infinite Mac

A classic Mac loaded with everything you'd want.

@greatquux I found one for a reasonable price... It was still pricey... But it could have been moreso.

@vertigo @tobyjaffey @b0rk that is a good point and a good source. I guess I more meant that we have more details on the development cycle of the 8080 compared to the 8086. But I could also just be misremembering since it's been a minute since I've done much Intel research.

@tobyjaffey @b0rk This would be the other place to look:
http://archive.computerhistory.org/resources/text/Oral_History/Intel_8008/Intel_8008_1.oral_history.2006.102657982.pdf
It's an oral history on the development of the 8008. Once again, I'd have to brush up on it, but I think that document might have an answer.
