Hardware
I'd like to write here about emulation of an OS with the aid of add-on hardware.
Despite now having a Mac at my disposal for testing web sites, I will continue to use my software emulation appz for this, being PearPC for Os X and Sheepshaver for Os 9(classic).
If I can get my hands on a "Compatibility" or "PC" card, we'll get this mac to run windows, via hardware!

Update!!! I'm uploading the OrangePCi Software installer file for version 3.4.2, this will install everything you need except the pre-made Windows disk image. This should be a simple double click install. http://www.scothiam.com/files/3.4.2%20Installer.sit (~10mb)
Let me know how that works!
