I think I still have a couple versions of Rhapsody on CD somewhere. It was a really wild mashup of OPENSTEP with MacOS 8 styling. I'm not sure if I have the x86 version, but if so, it might be fun to see if it'll run in a modern virtual machine. I'm also not sure if I kept media for a "Yellow Box" install, when part of Apple's strategy was to have its APIs run on Windows NT to allow for cross-platform apps.
I have a version of it running in a VM somewhere on an archived Drive someplace. It was very interesting to be sure.
