BeOS
The BeOS operating system (Wikipedia) is a multimedia operating system from the late 1990s...
Platform
BeOS Release 5.0 Professional supported two system architectures (see BeOS Ready Hardware List):
- PowerPC - BeBox and various pre-G3 Power Macintosh systems and compatibles
- x86 - various systems based on Intel Pentium, Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III & Celeron processors and compatibles (e.g. AMD K6, K6-2, K6-III & Athlon; Cyrix 686mx, 686GXm, & M II; IDT WinChip C6 & WinChip 2).
The hardware that can run BeOS is aging and can be difficult to obtain, so there is a need to consider emulation/virtualization options as alternatives to sourcing hardware.
