Star Trek project
Appearance
Project Star Trek (Not to be confused with the science fiction TV series) was the code name given to a prototype project Apple Computer worked on during 1992-93. The ultimate goal of project Star Trek was to successfully port the MacOS operating system to Intel-compatible x86 personal computers.
Unfortunately, the project was short-lived. In mid-1993, only a year after it started, project Star Trek was cancelled -- not because of technical or hardware incompatibility issues, but because of political infighting and other personnel issues.
It is believed that the project was code named "Star Trek" as a reference to the fact an Apple Macintosh made an appearance in the Star Trek movie The Voyage Home.
