Macintosh System 7.1 Source Code

Welcome to the documentation for the Macintosh System 7.1 source code repository. This project aims to preserve, analyze, and build the classic Mac OS for research and educational purposes.

Project Overview

This repository contains a leaked and reconstructed version of the Macintosh System 7.1 source code. It includes the core operating system, device drivers, and build tools necessary to compile a bootable system image for m68k Macintosh computers.

Primary Goal: Enable cross-compilation of System 7.1 on modern Linux systems.

Key Features

Cross-Compilation: Build classic Mac software on Linux using empw.
Core OS: Source code for Memory Manager, Process Manager, HFS, and more.
Hardware Support: Drivers for Macintosh SE/30, IIci, and other m68k machines.
Reconstruction: Includes stubs and patches (e.g., MiniFinder) to replace missing proprietary components.
