Testing macOS on the Apple Network Server 2.0 ROMs | Hacker News

A blog post showed Mac OS booting on Apple Network Server 2.0 ROMs, a niche compatibility and reverse-engineering feat on legacy Apple hardware.

The demonstration highlights how far enthusiasts can push old Apple systems, even when the machine was never meant to run standard Mac software.

Hacker News discussion centered on the post’s use of “macOS,” which some readers called anachronistic for the era involved.

The thread also clarified the distinction between Mac OS, Mac OS X, and the modern macOS branding.
