Cool! Glad it worked for you. (I'm mildly curious what the chipset was on the guest that MacOS was running in) But like, not curious enough that you should spend any effort to find out.

Because I think one of the toughest parts was getting QEMU to make a machine macos would be happy with.

It was a Mac on a Mac, which I believe is also officially supported

Ahhh, yup that would do it! And to the best of my memory you're right on both counts.
