Rhapsody anyone?

I'm going to move this into the Collectors forum as it's more likely that people there will have it.
I have Rhapsody DR2 and some demos on youtube:

I have to find them, but they were floppy disks images. I think I have the virtual PC drive with Rhapsody installed also.
It's in my public iDisk (xsimon)
Thanks!!
I think my own Rhapsody DR2 stuff is buried in deep storage somewhere.Rhapsody was definitely an interesting experience.
Props for having this and making it available. Question, since the image is in VPC anyway to convert that for Parallels or Fusion. I tired the transporter in Parallels and that did no t work. Also the .dmg??? in the rhapsody folder does not mount in the finder or disk utility, says it damaged. I redownloaded it a few times and it says the same thing. I want to burn this to CD so i can boot to it and install it on a PC and also use it in a VM solution. Any ideas?
Thanks
Thanks
It was quite difficult to me to install the system. As long as I remember, I mounted the floppy images using Toast, an old version of 2002 or so. Then I booted a new VPC machine using the floppy image and then just followed the instructions. Is for that reason that I have kept Rhapsody installed in the VPC drive file, and uploaded it to you. Indeed, it worked flawless with VPC version 5 and stopped working in 6.

Wow, thanks for hijacking my thread.
Nah, I don't mind. XD
anyway, forgive my ignorance, but how do you mount someone's public iDisk? I really don't know how. I don't know if that's a bad thing or not.

Rhapsody is Mac OS X before they thought of Carbon...
Carbon is a reimplementation of the Classic Mac OS APIs on top of a modern OS. Carbon was based on QuickTime for Windows.
When Apple was porting QuickTime to Windows they decided it was simpler to port most of the Mac OS Classic API to Windows. Doing this required a cleaner reimplementation of most of the Classic Mac OS, and the underpinnings of Windows at the time were vastly more modern than Classic Mac OS. Using QuickTime, you can port Mac apps to Windows without a complete rewrite. iTunes for Windows today still runs atop QuickTime for Windows. Carbon for Windows if you like...
With Rhapsody, developers were required to rewrite their Apps in Cocoa to gain any benefits of the new OS. Existing apps could run in a virtual machine codenamed "Blue Box" - which later became "Classic" in the released Mac OS X. Asking developers to rewrite obviously proved unpopular.
Carbon was the solution, which enabled developers to update their code with considerably less effort than a complete rewrite, and they would gain the benefits of the new OS. Carbon is still used today by many high profile apps (Final Cut Pro, iTunes, Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Microsoft Office... etc)

Adobe apps will probably go away from this list once CS5 is released. They're for sure working on 64 bit Photoshop, which means at least PS will be Cocoa, but why not make the rest of the suite "follow the suite" as well? We'll have to wait and see, but there's some hope that us Mac users are going to love CS5
There was also rumor about 64 bit iTunes a while ago, but it did not happen (just yet at least)...
Cocoa is really coming with all its 64 bit glory
anyway, forgive my ignorance, but how do you mount someone's public iDisk? I really don't know how. I don't know if that's a bad thing or not.
Cake, actually. Click on the desktop to bring the Finder to the foreground. Click on the menu bar's 'Go' menu, then select 'iDisk' then select 'Other User's Public Folder...' and enter the other user's MobileMe username when prompted.
The user's public iDisk will show up on your desktop a short time later. This works for Snow Leopard, and I'm pretty sure also Leopard. Less sure about older versions of MacOS X.
I have added vpc5 installers, your task to get a license. Rhapsody is working flawless in my PowerBook G4 12" under Leopard, but vpc5 crashes in my MacBook Pro 17" with Snow Leopard. So consider that it is probably not compatible with Rosetta and Intel Macs, or with Snow Leopard.
Rhapsody is for 604 Macs
You can't install it on an iMac.
You need a 604-based Mac like the PowerMac 9500 or 8500. I used to have a copy of Rhapsody DR1 but I remember trashing it awhile ago, knowing I would never have use for it again, ever. You can't do barely anything with this OS. It's neat to look at -- it's essentially OpenStep that runs on a Mac. Looks very much like the system run on a NeXT box. I mean, it's essentially the same NeXT system ported to the Mac to run on the 604 architecture. What I would really like is an old version of Copland to run on a 601 machine! That would be fun, with all the working themes and such.

Indeed, I'm sure Adobe apps will go away, hopefully they will re-code flash at the same time...
Does anybody have a copy of the Copland beta that was going around about 1995-1996? The one will install on a 601-based machine (6100/7100/8100). I've never installed it but I would like to give it a try sometime.
Darn it... VPC 5 doesn't work on a G5... In the included readme, it says it won't work properly with VPC 6, so I guess that means VPC 7 is out of the question.
