apple s first , aborted concept of porting flagship operating system intel systems in 1985, following exit of steve jobs. apple did not reattempt effort until star trek, , didn t launch such product until 2006.


apple has shipped products based upon concept of hybridizing mac os 7 shell application platform. accomplished in form of startmac process , other hybridized applications launched atop unix-based a/ux system. accomplished in form of macintosh application environment (mae), functional equivalent of star trek plus embedded 68k emulator (as case system 7 power macintosh), running application solaris , hp/ux. apple delivered dos compatible models of macs, hybridized mac concurrently functional intel coprocessor card inside. mac os 7 , later have had dos filesystem compatibility.


although direct x86 port of classic mac os never released public, determined users make apple s retail os run upon non-mac computers through emulation. development of these emulation environments said have been inspired initiative shown in star trek project. 2 of more popular 68k macintosh emulators vmac , basilisk ii, , powerpc macintosh emulator sheepshaver; each written third parties.


ten years after project star trek, became possible natively run darwin, unix-based core of mac os x, on x86 platform virtue of nextstep foundation. port available because darwin open source under apple public source license. however, mac os x graphical user interface, named aqua, proprietary. not included darwin, depended on other window managers running on x11 graphical interfaces, , commercial mac os applications cannot run natively on darwin alone.


apple ran similar project star trek mac os x, called marklar, later referred steve jobs having been secret double life of publicly power pc-only mac os. project retain openstep s x86 port, keeping mac os x , supporting applications (including ilife , xcode) running on x86 architecture of powerpc. marklar publicly revealed apple s ceo steve jobs in june 2005 when announced macintosh transition intel processors starting in 2006.


within ibm

comparing , contrasting apple s efforts, ibm had long since attempted different strategy provide same essential goal of innovating new software platform upon commodity hardware, while nondestructively preserving existing legacy installations of ms-dos heritage. however, strategy based upon os/2 operating system, had long since achieved seamless backward compatibility ms-dos applications. in 1992, coinciding timeframe of star trek project, ibm devised new , fundamentally integral subsystem backward compatibility windows 3.0 , windows 3.1 applications. new subsystem os/2, called win-os/2, integrated beginning os/2 2.0. although conceived through different legacy business requirements , cultures, win-os/2 designed similar software engineering objectives , virtualization techniques star trek. coincidentally, ibm had code-named os/2 releases star trek themes, , make such references integral os/2 s public brand beginning os/2 warp.


apple , ibm have attempted several proprietary cross-platform collaborations, including unreleased port of quicktime os/2, significant traction of opendoc software framework, aim alliance, kaleida labs, , taligent. both companies have utilized actual personnel star trek television , movie franchise promotional purposes.

a corporation formerly known ardi developed product called executor, can run compatible selection of 68k macintosh applications, , hosted upon either dos or linux operating systems on intel cpu. executor cleanroom reimplementation of macintosh toolbox , versions 6 , 7 of operating system, , integrated 68k cpu emulator called syn68k. liken andataco, sun , hp workstations, emulates macintosh hardware environment including 68k cpu, upon user must install system 6.0.7. quorum software systems made 2 apps targeting unix workstations: equal provides binary compatibility emulating mac apis , 68k cpu, put each precertified mac app own x window, on sun , sgi workstations; latitude provides source code porting layer display postscript driver.
