Cool. This feels so 90's. The kids will be happy to play their older Mac OS games on the new 20" iMac. It does feel slow however, kinda like a 300 mhz g3. Definitely a speed hit.
Getting this running was a bit of a headache as I pieced together a system folder existing on my hard disk, but should be pretty easy if you have a 8.5 - 9.0.4 install disk.
I didn't want to bring out my Starmax or 6360 to capture a PPC ROM, so I used the iMac ROM from the iMac firmware update. Need to use tomeview to extract the ROM file - used classic on my iBook to get that.
More instructions here for you adventurous types:

Cool cut/paste works from Safari in OS X to IE in SheepShaver!
Oh yeah, Ubuntu also runs great in Parallels. Now to install Windows 2000 and run all 4 OS's simultaneously....Muahahaha
