Blue Box
(redirected from Blue box (phreaking))

    Also found in: Wikipedia 0.04 sec.

A programming interface for the Rhapsody operating system from Apple, which later became Mac OS X. The Blue Box is the Mac Toolbox API, which enables a Mac OS 9 or previous Mac application to run without modification. The Blue Box was renamed the Classic interface in OS X. See MAC OS X and Yellow Box.

(operating system)Blue Box - The complete implementation of the Mac OS run-time environment on the more modern Rhapsody operating system. Blue Box is not an emulation layer; at any given time it will be based on the same source code and ROM image as the current version of Mac OS and will thus incorporate future Mac OS improvements.
