Application file:
As the name says, beta version of an OS which should later become MacOS 8.5.
This CDR image only contains the installer and is not bootable.
The beta may be installed with SheepShaver using the OldWorldROM.
Expand the CDR and add it to the SheepShaver volumes list.
I did use a blank HFS Standard image from 8.6 and unchecked "update HDD drivers" in the installer.
At first boot, Assistants to set up your Mac pop up. Do quit them to be on the safe side.
The provided Quicktime build is time limited, so best set your host´s time to some day in early 1997.
