18 < Basilisk II is a free, portable, Open Source 68k Mac emulator. It requires
19 < a copy of a Mac ROM and a copy of MacOS to run. Basilisk II is freeware and

20 > different operating system. However, you still need a copy of MacOS and
21 > a Macintosh ROM image to use Basilisk II.

23   Basilisk II has currently been ported to the following systems:
24    - BeOS R4 (PowerPC and x86)
# Line 327 | Line 327 | ether <ethernet card description>
327    BeOS:
328      It doesn't matter what you give as "ethernet card description", Basilisk II
329      will always use the first Ethernet card it finds as long an an "ether"
330 <    line exists (e.g. say "ether yes"). As Basilisk II requires the sheep_net
331 <    net server add-on from SheepShaver, you can only use Ethernet on PowerPC
332 <    machines.

332 >    with Ethernet enabled you will be asked whether it's OK to make the
333 >    necessary changes to your BeOS network configuration to enable sheep_net.
334  
335    Linux:
336      The "ethernet card description" is the name of an Ethernet interface.
# Line 351 | Line 352 | ether <ethernet card description>
352           configure your kernel to enable routing and the ethertap device:
353           under "Networking options", enable "Kernel/User netlink socket" and
354           "Netlink device emulation", under "Network device support", activate
355 <         "Ethertap network tap". You also have to modify devices/net/ethertap.c
355 >         "Ethertap network tap". You also have to modify drivers/net/ethertap.c
356           a bit before compiling the new kernel:
357  
358            - insert "#define CONFIG_ETHERTAP_MC 1" near the top (after the
# Line 381 | Line 382 | ether <ethernet card description>
382           your network administrator about the nets and zones you can use
383           (instead of the ones given in the example above).
384  
385 +  FreeBSD:
386 +    The "ethertap" method described above also works under FreeBSD, but since
387 +    no-one has found the time to write a section for this manual, you're on
388 +    your own here...
389 +
390    AmigaOS:
391      You have to specify the name of the SANA-II Ethernet device and the device
392      unit as "<device name>/<unit>" (e.g. "ariadne.device/0"). If the given
# Line 502 | Line 508 | AmigaOS:

510  
511 +  scsimemtype <type>
512 +
513 +    This item controls the type of memory to use for SCSI buffers. Possible
514 +    values are:
515 +      0 Chip memory
516 +      1 24-bit DMA capable memory
517 +      2 Any memory
518 +
519 +    Be warned that many SCSI host adapters will not work with the "Any memory"
520 +    setting. Basilisk II has no way of knowing which memory type is supported
521 +    by the host adapter and setting an unsupported type will result in data
522 +    corruption.
523 +
524   Windows:
525  
526    noscsi <"true" or "false">
# Line 597 | Line 616 | Keyboard:
616    On PC-style keyboards, "Alt" is the Mac "Command" key, while the "Windows"
617    key is the Mac "Option" key.
618  
619 + Mouse:
620 +  Under Unix, press Ctrl-F5 while the Basilisk II window is active will grab
621 +  the mouse. This is needed for compatibility with some MacOS programs,
622 +  especially games. Press Ctrl-F5 again to return to normal mouse operation.
623 +
624   Floppy:
625    Basilisk II can only handle 1.44MB MFM floppies. Depending on your platform,
626 <  flopyy disk changes might not be detected automatically. Under Linux, press
626 >  floppy disk changes might not be detected automatically. Under Unix, press
627    Ctrl-F1 to mount a floppy. Under BeOS, select the appropriate "Mount" menu
628    item or press Ctrl-F1 to mount a floppy. Under Windows, press Ctrl-Shift-F11.
