“Nostalgic fans of older Mac OS iterations should find comfort in the work of the MacOS iPhone Project, the team who was able to create an iPhone-ready version of Mac OS 7 (Classic), also known as System 7. The software took many weeks to accomplish what the screens below show, but everything from System Properties to MacPaint now works great, according to the team at MacOS iPhone Project,” Softpedia reports.
Softpedia reports, “System 7 was codenamed “Big Bang”, and also referred to as Mac OS 7. The single-user GUI-based operating system for Macintosh computers was introduced on May 13, 1991 by Apple Computer. It succeeded System 6, and was the main Macintosh operating system until it was succeeded by Mac OS 8 in 1997. Features added with the System 7 release included cooperative multitasking, virtual memory, personal file sharing, an improved user interface, QuickTime, and QuickDraw 3D.”
