Though the joint effort had been canceled, Novell published the long-awaited [[DR-DOS|DR DOS 7.0]] as [[Novell DOS|Novell DOS 7]] (BDOS&nbsp;7.2) in 1994.  Besides many other additions in the areas of advanced memory and disk management and networking, Novell&nbsp;DOS&nbsp;7 provided all of Novell's underlying "STDOS" components of the DR&nbsp;DOS Panther and Vladivar projects except for the graphical Star Trek component itself, which had been jointly developed by Apple and Novell.  Instead, TASKMGR provides a text mode interface to the underlying multitasker in [[EMM386]], but the system also provides an [[API]] to allow third-party GUIs to take control.<!-- INT 2Fh/4Bh --><ref name="Caldera_1997_MULTI"/><ref name="Brown_2000_RBIL61"/><ref name="Paul_2002"/> [[Microsoft Windows]], [[ViewMAX 2]] and [[ViewMAX 3|3]], and [[PC/GEOS]] / [[NewDeal]] are known to utilize this interface, when run on Novell&nbsp;DOS&nbsp;7 (or its successors [[OpenDOS]] 7.01 or DR-DOS 7.02 and higher), and Star&nbsp;Trek would have been yet another one.<ref name="Paul_2002"/>  In fact, some additional hooks had been implemented specifically for the Star&nbsp;Trek GUI for [[frame buffer]] access.  These hooks have never been stripped out of EMM386 but just left undocumented.<ref name="Brown_2000_RBIL61"/>

Apple reused some of the platform abstraction technology developed for Star Trek, incorporating it into the concurrently developed [[System 7#Transition to PowerPC|migration]] to the [[PowerPC]] architecture. This abstraction technology includes the capability of loading the Macintosh [[read-only memory|ROM]] data from a file instead of from a ROM chip.{{citation needed|date=March 2013}} Loading the Mac OS ROM file was first used in the original iMac as a CHRP [[New World ROM]] system.

Former Star Trek team members Fred Monroe and Fred Huxham formed the company Fredlabs, Inc.  In January 1997, the company released VirtualMac, a Mac OS application compatibility virtual machine for [[BeOS]].<ref name="Linzmayer_1999"/>{{rp|page=180}}

In August 1994, Apple announced another partnership with Novell, this time to port its [[network operating system]] [[NetWare]] to run on [[Power Macintosh]] servers. However, the project did not exit the testing phase, and was quietly cancelled in October 1995.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Barb |first=Cole |date=1994-08-15 |title=Apple to power up NetWare for its PowerPC-based systems |url=https://www.proquest.com/docview/215918822 |access-date=2025-02-27 |website=[[Network World]] |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1995-10-23 |title=No NetWare For PowerPC -- Apple halts development |url=https://www.proquest.com/docview/229095990?sourcetype=Trade%20Journals |access-date=2025-02-27 |website=InformationWeek |language=en}}</ref>
