I know it may be only tangential to Mac, but beOS is a spiritual sibling founded by an Apple veteran that was almost made into the Mac family.

Is it even possible to get beOS under infinite mac? It would need to use SheepSaver (or, I guess, an x86 emulator)

Probably not, since SheepShaver is really a hack job that targets MacOS specifically. I don't think you could get it to boot anything else than MacOS. If InfiniteMac had QEMU implemented, it could run the Intel release of BeOS.

The irony being that SheepSaver was originally a way to run Macintosh stuff in beOS :D

QEMU (#72) or DingusPPC (#219, based on dingusdev/dingusppc#35) could possibly allow this to happen, but both are a ways away.
