As of yet there is no way to mount a Be partition, local or remote, in the Mac finder.

Also, I expect it would be fairly simple for the folks at Be to write a system extension enabling the Mac OS to mount Be partitions. Not a big gripe but it would be a nice touch. Unfortunately there is no way to switch from the BeOS to the Mac OS, i.e. This is a tremendous time saver as the OS Chooser loads early in the Mac’s startup process.

The OS Chooser extension will, at startup, allow the user to choose which OS to load, Mac or Be, and if no choice is specified within five seconds the OS chosen at last startup will be loaded again. Double clicking the BeOS Launcher from within the Finder will shut down the Mac OS and launch the BeOS, a nice touch. HFS (not HFS+), DOS, and UNIX volumes, local or remote, can be mounted (see Figure 1), icons are preserved, and files can be copied to and from these mounted volumes.įurthermore Be includes two helper files to ease the coexistence of the BeOS and Mac OS on your machine: BeOS Launcher, an application, and OS Chooser, a system extension. The brains at Be have, however, designed the BeOS with the Macintosh in mind. However, the BeOS is an entirely separate and distinct entity from the Mac OS, which is to say that the BeOS will not run Mac OS applications (actually there is an application called SheepShaver which runs Mac OS applications while in the BeOS but that’s another review unto itself!) and visa versa. the BeOS code is 100% native PowerPC code), and a host of other features as well. For example, the BeOS supports preemptive multitasking, protected memory, virtual memory (no not the slow kind.the fast kind!), a shell with a command prompt, fully native code (i.e. The BeOS is a modern-day operating system in every way, supporting all of the wonderful features Apple promises to implement in future releases of the Mac OS. What I will do in the next few pages is attempt to outline the unique nature of the BeOS and discuss its features and behaviors. The BeOS is not like most other products on the market for the Macintosh (or for the Intel platform for that matter).

In truth it is far more appropriate to discuss the BeOS than it is to review it. However, reviewing an entire operating system in a few short pages is a difficult task.

As a commercially available piece of software it is now subject to the excessively harsh reviewing standards of ATPM and its staff. Release 3 of the BeOS represents the first commercially available non-prerelease version of the BeOS.
