This item describes one MacOS volume to be mounted by Basilisk II. |
95 |
|
There can be multiple "disk" lines in the preferences file. Basilisk II |
96 |
|
can handle hardfiles (byte-per-byte images of HFS volumes in a file on |
97 |
< |
the host system) as well as HFS partitions on hard disks etc. (but Basilisk |
98 |
< |
II doesn't know about MacOS partition tables; it relies on the host OS to |
99 |
< |
handle this). The "volume description" is either the pathname of a hardfile |
100 |
< |
or a platform-dependant description of an HFS partition or drive. If the |
101 |
< |
volume description starts with an asterisk ("*"), the volume is write |
102 |
< |
protected for MacOS (and the "*" is discarded). |
97 |

the host system), HFS partitions on hard disks etc., and MacOS-partitioned |
98 |
> |
disks (it can only access the first partition, though). The "volume |
99 |
> |
description" is either the pathname of a hardfile or a platform-dependant |
100 |
> |
description of an HFS partition or drive. If the volume description is |
101 |
> |
prefixed by an asterisk ("*"), the volume is write protected for MacOS. |
102 |
> |
|
103 |
> |
Basilisk II can also handle some types of Mac "disk image" files directly, |
104 |
> |
as long as they are uncompressed and unencoded. |
105 |
|
|
106 |
|
BeOS: |
107 |
|
To specify an HFS partition, simply specify its path (e.g. |
108 |
< |
"/dev/disk/scsi/0/1/0/0_3"). If you don't specify any volume, Basilisk II |
108 |
> |
"/dev/disk/scsi/0/1/0/0_3"). If you don't specify any volumes, Basilisk II |
109 |
|
will search for and use all available HFS partitions. |
110 |
|
|
111 |
|
Unix: |
112 |
< |
To specify an HFS partition, simply specify its path (e.g. |
113 |
< |
"/dev/sda5"). |
112 |
> |
To specify an HFS partition, simply specify its path (e.g. "/dev/sda5"). |

If you want to access a MacOS-partitioned hard disk or removable volume |
114 |

(Jaz, Zip etc.) and your operating system doesn't understand MacOS |
115 |
> |
partition tables, you can specify the block device name (e.g. "/dev/sda") |
116 |
> |
to access the first HFS partition on the device. Under Linux, if you |
117 |
> |
don't specify any volumes, Basilisk II will search /etc/fstab for |
118 |
> |
unmounted HFS partitions and use these. |

AmigaOS: |
121 |
|
Partitions/drives are specified in the following format: |
153 |
|
This item specifies the root directory for the "Host Directory Tree" |
154 |
|
file system (the "Unix/BeOS/Amiga/..." icon on the Finder desktop). |
155 |
|
All objects contained in that directory are accessible by Mac applications. |
156 |

|
157 |
|
This feature is only available when File System Manager V1.2 or later |
158 |
|
is installed on the Mac side. FSM 1.2 is built-in beginning with MacOS 7.6 |
159 |
|
and can be installed as a system extension (downloadable from Apple, look |

201 |
|
BeOS: |
202 |
|
The "video mode" is one of the following: |
216 |
|
Unix: |
217 |
|
The "video mode" is one of the following: |
218 |
|
win/<width>/<height> |
219 |
< |
Color display in an X11 window of the given size. The color depth |
220 |
< |
(8/15/24 bit) depends on the depth of the underlying X11 screen. |
221 |
< |
This is the default. |
219 |
> |
Color display in an X11 window of the given size. There are several |
220 |
> |
resolutions and color depths available. The set of color depths |
221 |
> |
depends on the capabilities of the X11 server, the operating system, |
222 |
> |
and Basilisk II compile-time options, but 1 bit and the default depth |
223 |
> |
of the X11 screen should always be available. |
224 |
|
dga/<width>/<height> |
225 |
|
[if Basilisk II was configured with --enable-xf86-dga] |
226 |
|
Full-screen display using the XFree86 DGA extension. The color depth |
334 |
|
is not available and this setting is ignored. The "ethernet card description" |
335 |
|
is a platform-dependant description of an ethernet card. |
336 |
|
|
337 |
+ |
General note: To use TCP/IP from MacOS, you should assign a different IP |
338 |
+ |
address to the MacOS (entered into the MacOS TCP/IP (or MacTCP) control |
339 |
+ |
panel). Otherwise there will be confusion about which operating system will |
340 |
+ |
handle incoming packets. |
341 |
+ |
|
342 |
|
BeOS: |
343 |
|
It doesn't matter what you give as "ethernet card description", Basilisk II |
344 |
|
will always use the first Ethernet card it finds as long an an "ether" |
345 |
< |
line exists (e.g. say "ether yes"). As Basilisk II requires the sheep_net |
346 |
< |
net server add-on from SheepShaver, you can only use Ethernet on PowerPC |
347 |
< |
machines. |
345 |
> |
line exists (e.g. say "ether yes"). Using Ethernet requires the "sheep_net" |
346 |
> |
Net Server add-on to be installed. The first time you start Basilisk II |
347 |
> |
with Ethernet enabled you will be asked whether it's OK to make the |
348 |
> |
necessary changes to your BeOS network configuration to enable sheep_net. |
349 |
|
|
350 |
|
Linux: |
351 |
|
The "ethernet card description" is the name of an Ethernet interface. |
352 |
|
There are two approaches to networking with Basilisk II: |
353 |
|
|
354 |
< |
1. Direct access to an Ethernet card via the "sheep_net" driver. |
355 |
< |
In this case, the "ethernet card description" must be the name |
356 |
< |
of a real Ethernet card, e.g. "eth0". It also requires the "sheep_net" |
357 |
< |
driver to be installed and accessible. This approach will allow you |
358 |
< |
to run all networking protocols under MacOS (TCP/IP, AppleTalk, IPX |
359 |
< |
etc.) but there is no connection between Linux networking and MacOS |
360 |
< |
networking. MacOS will only be able to talk to other machines on |
361 |
< |
the Ethernet, but not to other networks that your Linux box routes |
362 |
< |
(e.g. a second Ethernet or a PPP connection to the Internet). |
354 |
> |
1. Direct access to an Ethernet card via the "sheep_net" kernel module. |
355 |
> |
The "ethernet card description" must be the name of a real Ethernet |
356 |
> |
card, e.g. "eth0". |
357 |
> |
|
358 |
> |
The sheep_net module is included in the Basilisk II source |
359 |
> |
distribution in the directory "src/Unix/Linux/NetDriver". You have |
360 |
> |
to compile and install the module yourself: |
361 |
> |
|
362 |
> |
$ su |
363 |
> |
[enter root password] |
364 |
> |
# make |
365 |
> |
# make dev |
366 |
> |
[this will create a /dev/sheep_net device node; you should give |
367 |
> |
appropriate access rights to the user(s) running Basilisk II] |
368 |
> |
# insmod sheep_net.o |
369 |
> |
|
370 |
> |
If you copy the sheep_net.o module to a place where it can be found |
371 |
> |
by the kernel module loader ("/lib/modules/<version>/kernel/drivers/net" |
372 |
> |
for 2.4 kernels) and add the line |
373 |
> |
|
374 |
> |
alias char-major-10-198 sheep_net |
375 |
> |
|
376 |
> |
to "/etc/modules.conf", the kernel should be able to load the module |
377 |
> |
automatically when Basilisk II is started. |
378 |
> |
|
379 |
> |
The sheep_net module will allow you to run all networking protocols |
380 |
> |
under MacOS (TCP/IP, AppleTalk, IPX etc.) but there is no connection |
381 |
> |
between Linux networking and MacOS networking. MacOS will only be |
382 |
> |
able to talk to other machines on the Ethernet, but not to other |
383 |

networks that your Linux box routes (e.g. a second Ethernet or a PPP |
384 |
> |
connection to the Internet). |
385 |
|
|
386 |
|
2. Putting Basilisk II on a virtual Ethernet via the "ethertap" device. |
387 |
|
In this case, the "ethernet card description" must be the name |
388 |
|
of an ethertap interface, e.g. "tap0". It also requires that you |
389 |
< |
configure your kernel to enable routing and the ethertap device: |
389 |
> |
configure your kernel to enable routing and ethertap support: |
390 |
|
under "Networking options", enable "Kernel/User netlink socket" and |
391 |
|
"Netlink device emulation", under "Network device support", activate |
392 |
< |
"Ethertap network tap". You also have to modify devices/net/ethertap.c |
392 |
> |
"Ethertap network tap". You also have to modify drivers/net/ethertap.c |
393 |
|
a bit before compiling the new kernel: |
394 |
|
|
395 |
|
- insert "#define CONFIG_ETHERTAP_MC 1" near the top (after the |
419 |
|
your network administrator about the nets and zones you can use |
420 |
|
(instead of the ones given in the example above). |
421 |
|
|
422 |
+ |
FreeBSD: |
423 |
+ |
The "ethertap" method described above also works under FreeBSD, but since |
424 |
+ |
no-one has found the time to write a section for this manual, you're on |
425 |
+ |
your own here... |
426 |
+ |
|
427 |
|
AmigaOS: |
428 |
|
You have to specify the name of the SANA-II Ethernet device and the device |
429 |
|
unit as "<device name>/<unit>" (e.g. "ariadne.device/0"). If the given |
431 |
|
not an Ethernet device, Basilisk II will display a warning message and |
432 |
|
disable Ethernet networking. |
433 |
|
|
434 |
+ |
See the next item for an alternative way to do networking with Basilisk II. |
435 |
+ |
|
436 |
+ |
udptunnel <"true" or "false"> |
437 |
+ |
|
438 |
+ |
Setting this to "true" enables a special network mode in which all network |
439 |
+ |
packets sent by MacOS are tunnelled over UDP using the host operating |
440 |
+ |
system's native TCP/IP stack. This can only be used to connect computers |
441 |
+ |
running Basilisk II (and not, for example, for connecting to the Internet |
442 |
+ |
or an AppleShare server running on a real Mac), but it is probably the |
443 |
+ |
easiest way to set up a network between two instances of Basilisk II |
444 |
+ |
because the UDP tunnelling doesn't require any special kernel modules or |
445 |
+ |
network add-ons. It relies on IP broadcasting, however, so its range is |
446 |
+ |
limited. It should be fine though for doing a little file sharing or |
447 |
+ |
playing Spectre. |
448 |
+ |
|
449 |
+ |
udpport <IP port number> |
450 |
+ |
|
451 |
+ |
This item specifies the IP port number to use for the "UDP Tunnel" mode. |
452 |
+ |
The default is 6066. |
453 |
+ |
|
454 |
|
rom <ROM file path> |
455 |
|
|
456 |
|
This item specifies the file name of the Mac ROM file to be used by |
485 |
|
|
486 |
|
modelid <MacOS model ID> |
487 |
|
|
488 |
< |
Specifies the Model ID that Basilisk II should report to MacOS. |
489 |
< |
The default is "5" which corresponds to a Mac IIci. If you want to |
490 |
< |
run MacOS 8, you have to set this to "14" (Quadra 900). Other values |
491 |
< |
are not officially supported and may result in crashes. MacOS versions |
492 |
< |
earlier than 7.5 may only run with the Model ID set to "5". If you are |
493 |
< |
using a Mac Classic ROM, the model is always "Mac Classic" and this |
494 |
< |
setting is ignored. |
488 |
> |
Specifies the Macintosh model ID that Basilisk II should report to MacOS. |
489 |

567 |
|
|
568 |
+ |
scsimemtype <type> |
569 |
+ |
|
570 |
+ |
This item controls the type of memory to use for SCSI buffers. Possible |
571 |
+ |
values are: |
572 |
+ |
0 Chip memory |
573 |
+ |
1 24-bit DMA capable memory |
574 |
+ |
2 Any memory |
575 |
+ |
|
576 |
+ |
Be warned that many SCSI host adapters will not work with the "Any memory" |
577 |
+ |
setting. Basilisk II has no way of knowing which memory type is supported |
578 |
+ |
by the host adapter and setting an unsupported type will result in data |
579 |
+ |
corruption. |
580 |

|
581 |
|
Windows: |
582 |
|
|
583 |
|
noscsi <"true" or "false"> |
588 |
|
means is that the control is not returned to the application until the |
589 |
|
command is completely finished. Normally this is not an issue, but when a |
590 |
|
CDR/CDRW is closed or erased the burner program typically wants to wait in |
591 |
< |
some progress dialog The result may be that the application reports a |

593 |
|
|
594 |
|
nofloppyboot <"true" or "false"> |
602 |
|
This is very useful since many devices have almost identical ATAPI and SCSI |
603 |
|
versions of their hardware, and MacOS applications usually support the SCSI |
604 |
|
version only. The example below is typical: |

Usage |
674 |
|
On PC-style keyboards, "Alt" is the Mac "Command" key, while the "Windows" |
675 |
|
key is the Mac "Option" key. |
676 |
|
|
677 |
+ |
Mouse: |
678 |
+ |
Under Unix, pressing Ctrl-F5 while the Basilisk II window is active will |
679 |
+ |
grab the mouse. This is needed for compatibility with some MacOS programs, |
680 |
+ |
especially games such as flight simulators. Press Ctrl-F5 again to return |
681 |
+ |
to normal mouse operation. |
682 |
+ |
|
683 |
|
Floppy: |
684 |
|
Basilisk II can only handle 1.44MB MFM floppies. Depending on your platform, |
685 |
< |
flopyy disk changes might not be detected automatically. Under Linux, press |

710 |
|
|
711 |
+ |
Video resolution switching: |
712 |
+ |
Run-time switching of video resolutions requires the Display Manager. This |
713 |
+ |
is included in MacOS versions 7.6 and above, and available as a system |
714 |
+ |
extension for earlier MacOS versions as a free download from ftp.apple.com |
715 |
+ |
(look for "Display Software 2.x"). Click on "Options..." in the "Monitors" |
716 |
+ |
control panel to select the resolution. |
717 |
+ |
|
718 |
|
Sound output: |
719 |
|
Sound output under Basilisk II requires Sound Manager 3.0 or later. This |
720 |
