    BeOS 5.0 Personal Edition runs well dual booting with Windows 95 in PCem.

    The ISO is not bootable. Where can I find the boot floppy image?

    The personal edition is not bootable. (I believe the pro version IS bootable, but I'm not going to dig my copy out or waste bandwidth downloading to confirm.) The personal version has to be installed alongside either Win9x or Linux. (I'm not sure what version of Linux, since I never did it myself, but it wouldn't surprise me to find out it requires a 2.4 kernel, or even 2.2.)

    @DPlex64 it seems like you did not understand what i meant. it was my internet which was slow in downloading the ISO file. however i did not know how to properly use the words. i do not speak english as my first language.

    BeOS was originally developed by the company Be with the former Apple coworker Jean-Louis Gasseè for its own type of computer, the BeBox. It contains 2 power PC CPUs and was equipped with maximally with 256 Mbyte of RAM. BeOS is written from scratch and does not contain obsolete operating system design concepts. From now, Here's the Official Haiku Website that you can download it.

    I get stuck at the

    Loading..........

    and get no further. I'm using VirtualBox 7 on MacOS. Any ideas?

    I couldn't get 86Box to load the BeOS Pro image. I therefore converted the CCD file to CUE and now 86Box can boot fine. Just add the file to the same image directory. https://file.io/rlbOK6mIUFsr

    For those struggling to boot the Professional image on 86Box, create a .CUE file with the following text contents:

    FILE "BeOS_5.0_Professional.img" BINARY
    TRACK 1 MODE1/2352
    INDEX 01 00:00:00
    TRACK 2 MODE1/2352
    INDEX 01 07:48:09
    TRACK 3 MODE1/2352
    INDEX 01 40:51:64

    And then select the CUE file as the CD-ROM image file.
