Kelsi Davis Ports Mac System 7 to x86 in Record Time

In a remarkable feat, Kelsi Davis has successfully ported Macintosh System 7 to the x86 architecture, a task previously unheard of in the tech community. The port, which took just three days with the help of a large language model and Ghidra, has been confirmed to run on QEMU.

Davis' achievement is significant as there is no documented evidence of anyone else porting Mac OS 7 to x86 hardware before this. The ported OS comes with a fully-functional Finder and Graphical User Interface (GUI), making it a complete and usable system.

Davis accomplished this task using a large language model and Ghidra, a popular reverse engineering tool. The port runs smoothly on QEMU, an open-source machine emulator and virtualizer.

Kelsi Davis' port of Macintosh System 7 to x86 architecture is a notable addition to tech history. The port's functionality and the speed at which it was achieved are impressive, showcasing the potential of large language models and reverse engineering tools in software development.
