# 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.
330 >    line exists (e.g. say "ether yes"). Using Ethernet requires the "sheep_net"
331 >    Net Server add-on to be installed. The first time you start Basilisk II
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 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 388 | Line 394 | ether <ethernet card description>
394      not an Ethernet device, Basilisk II will display a warning message and
395      disable Ethernet networking.
396  
397 +  See the next item for an alternative way to do networking with Basilisk II.
398 +
399 + udptunnel <"true" or "false">
400 +
401 +  Setting this to "true" enables a special network mode in which all network
402 +  packets sent by MacOS are tunnelled over UDP using the host operating
403 +  system's native TCP/IP stack. This only works with AppleTalk and can only
404 +  be used to connect computers running Basilisk II (and not, for example, for
405 +  connecting to an AppleShare server running on a real Mac), but it is
406 +  probably the easiest way to set up a network between two instances of
407 +  Basilisk II because the UDP tunnelling doesn't require any special kernel
408 +  modules or network add-ons. It relies on IP broadcasting, however, so
409 +  its range is limited.
410 +
411 + udpport <IP port number>
412 +
413 +  This item specifies the IP port number to use for the "AppleTalk over UDP"
414 +  tunnel mode. The default is 6066.
415 +
416   rom <ROM file path>
417  
418    This item specifies the file name of the Mac ROM file to be used by
# Line 502 | Line 527 | AmigaOS:
527  
528        ahi/<hexadecimal mode ID>
529  
530 +  scsimemtype <type>
531 +
532 +    This item controls the type of memory to use for SCSI buffers. Possible
533 +    values are:
534 +      0 Chip memory
535 +      1 24-bit DMA capable memory
536 +      2 Any memory
537 +
538 +    Be warned that many SCSI host adapters will not work with the "Any memory"
539 +    setting. Basilisk II has no way of knowing which memory type is supported
540 +    by the host adapter and setting an unsupported type will result in data
541 +    corruption.
542 +
543   Windows:
544  
545    noscsi <"true" or "false">
# Line 597 | Line 635 | Keyboard:
635    On PC-style keyboards, "Alt" is the Mac "Command" key, while the "Windows"
636    key is the Mac "Option" key.
637  
638 + Mouse:
639 +  Under Unix, press Ctrl-F5 while the Basilisk II window is active will grab
640 +  the mouse. This is needed for compatibility with some MacOS programs,
641 +  especially games. Press Ctrl-F5 again to return to normal mouse operation.
642 +
643   Floppy:
644    Basilisk II can only handle 1.44MB MFM floppies. Depending on your platform,
645 <  flopyy disk changes might not be detected automatically. Under Linux, press
645 >  floppy disk changes might not be detected automatically. Under Unix, press
646    Ctrl-F1 to mount a floppy. Under BeOS, select the appropriate "Mount" menu
647    item or press Ctrl-F1 to mount a floppy. Under Windows, press Ctrl-Shift-F11.
