In those days hard-disks were SCSI and Mac floppy disks unreadable by PCs or their hardware.

Take a look here: However there's is more of a hybrid emulator/VM using genuine components, getting to a full standalone OS 8 (or 9) Hackintosh maybe a step too far. There were PCI boards designed to hold these chips fairly easily available - probably still are. Yes, you can create software images of them to run in emulators but a physical machine would need real, genuine hardware ROMs. These days emulators can re-live those olden days fairly easily however building a real OS 9 Hackintosh would be hard.

Interesting idea, but I suspect Timbck2 is rightĪpple Macs prior to G3 ran on Motorola chips and their operating systems came partly built-in on ROMs, and partly on floppy disk. Building a CustoMac Hackintosh: Buyer's Guide
