<H1>Using SheepShaver</H1> |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
<H2>Changing the display mode</H2> |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
SheepShaver can display the MacOS user interface in a BeOS window or full-screen |
| 12 |
(much faster) in several resolutions and color depths. You select the display mode |
| 13 |
as usual under MacOS in the "Monitors" control panel (under System 7.x, click on "Options"). |
| 14 |
The "75Hz" modes are full-screen modes, the "60Hz" modes are window modes |
| 15 |
(this doesn't mean that the video refresh rate is 75 or 60Hz in the respective modes; |
| 16 |
the rate displayed has no meaning; it's simply there to distinguish full screen modes |
| 17 |
from window modes). |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
<H2>Window mode</H2> |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
The SheepShaver window has a menu at the bottom that allows you to change the |
| 22 |
graphics refresh rate and to mount floppy disks (see below). The window refresh is |
| 23 |
disabled as long as the "Scroll Lock" key is pressed (the graphics output is then frozen). |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
<H2>Full-screen mode</H2> |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
The full-screen mode uses a whole BeOS workspace for displaying the MacOS user |
| 28 |
interface. You can switch workspaces with Command-F1/F2/F3/etc. Please note that |
| 29 |
the MacOS (and all MacOS applications) will be suspended when you switch to a different |
| 30 |
workspace. It will only be resumed when you go back to the SheepShaver workspace. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
<H2>Networking</H2> |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
SheepShaver only supports Ethernet networking (and PPP via the serial |
| 35 |
ports). If there are multiple Ethernet cards installed, only the first |
| 36 |
card will be used. The Ethernet support is implemented at the data-link |
| 37 |
level. This implies that the "Mac" and the "Be" side must have two different |
| 38 |
network addresses. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
<H2>Using floppy disks</H2> |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Floppy disks are not automatically detected when they are inserted. They have to be |
| 43 |
mounted explicitly. After inserting a floppy disk, select the "Mount Floppy" item in the |
| 44 |
"SheepShaver" menu (when running in window mode), or press Ctrl-F1 (when running in |
| 45 |
full-screen mode). BeBox users should note that floppy disks also have to be unmounted |
| 46 |
under MacOS before ejecting them from the drive. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
<H2>Accessing BeOS files</H2> |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
SheepShaver will display a "BeOS" disk icon on the Mac desktop that allows you |
| 51 |
to access any BeOS files/folders which are in the directory specified as "BeOS Root" |
| 52 |
in the "Volumes" pane of the SheepShaver settings. You can open and save files on the |
| 53 |
"BeOS" disk from Mac applications, copy, move or rename files from the Finder etc. |
| 54 |
Putting files/folder to the trash may however not always work. SheepShaver translates |
| 55 |
some BeOS file types to MacOS types and vice versa, so e.g. JPEG and PDF files will |
| 56 |
show up the correct icons in the Finder. To store Mac resources and other additional |
| 57 |
data, SheepShaver uses the following BeOS file attributes: |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
<UL> |
| 60 |
<LI><CODE>MACOS:RFORK</CODE> contains the complete Mac resource fork of the file |
| 61 |
<LI><CODE>MACOS:HFS_FLAGS</CODE> contains Finder flags |
| 62 |
<LI><CODE>MACOS:CREATOR</CODE> contains the MacOS creator application ID |
| 63 |
</UL> |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
<H2>Copying text via the clipboard</H2> |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
SheepShaver tries to keep the BeOS and MacOS clipboards synchronized. That means, |
| 68 |
when you copy a piece of text under BeOS, you can paste it into a MacOS application |
| 69 |
and vice versa. |
