28    - Windows NT 4.0 (mostly works under Windows 95/98, too)
29 +  - Mac OS X 10.1, 10.2

95    This item describes one MacOS volume to be mounted by Basilisk II.
96    There can be multiple "disk" lines in the preferences file. Basilisk II
97    can handle hardfiles (byte-per-byte images of HFS volumes in a file on
98 <  the host system) as well as HFS partitions on hard disks etc. (but Basilisk
99 <  II doesn't know about MacOS partition tables; it relies on the host OS to

106  
107    BeOS:
108      To specify an HFS partition, simply specify its path (e.g.
109 <    "/dev/disk/scsi/0/1/0/0_3"). If you don't specify any volume, Basilisk II
109 >    "/dev/disk/scsi/0/1/0/0_3"). If you don't specify any volumes, Basilisk II
110      will search for and use all available HFS partitions.

113 <    To specify an HFS partition, simply specify its path (e.g.
114 <    "/dev/sda5").

120  
121    AmigaOS:
122      Partitions/drives are specified in the following format:
# Line 146 | Line 154 | extfs <direcory path>
154    This item specifies the root directory for the "Host Directory Tree"
155    file system (the "Unix/BeOS/Amiga/..." icon on the Finder desktop).
156    All objects contained in that directory are accessible by Mac applications.

158    This feature is only available when File System Manager V1.2 or later
159    is installed on the Mac side. FSM 1.2 is built-in beginning with MacOS 7.6

217    Unix:
218      The "video mode" is one of the following:

286      is frozen).
287  
288 +  Mac OS X:
289 +    The "video mode" is one of the following:
290 +      win/<width>/<height>
291 +      win/<width>/<height>/<bits per pixel>
292 +        A refreshed (and buffered) Quartz window.
293 +      full/<width>/<height>
294 +      full/<width>/<height>/<bits per pixel>
295 +        A CGDirectDisplay full screen mode. <bits> can currently be 8, 16 or 32.
296 +        If not specified, the default is 32. There is currently no way to switch
297 +        between the Mac OS X and Basilisk II display, but Apple-Option-Escape
298 +        instantly and safely terminates the Basilisk II program.

# Line 324 | Line 347 | ether <ethernet card description>
347    is not available and this setting is ignored. The "ethernet card description"
348    is a platform-dependant description of an ethernet card.
349  
350 +  General note: To use TCP/IP from MacOS, you should assign a different IP
351 +  address to the MacOS (entered into the MacOS TCP/IP (or MacTCP) control
352 +  panel). Otherwise there will be confusion about which operating system will
353 +  handle incoming packets.
354 +
355    BeOS:
356      It doesn't matter what you give as "ethernet card description", Basilisk II
357      will always use the first Ethernet card it finds as long an an "ether"
# Line 334 | Line 362 | ether <ethernet card description>
362  
363    Linux:
364      The "ethernet card description" is the name of an Ethernet interface.
365 <    There are two approaches to networking with Basilisk II:
365 >    There are four approaches to networking with Basilisk II:
366  
367 <      1. Direct access to an Ethernet card via the "sheep_net" driver.
368 <         In this case, the "ethernet card description" must be the name
369 <         of a real Ethernet card, e.g. "eth0". It also requires the "sheep_net"
370 <         driver to be installed and accessible. This approach will allow you
371 <         to run all networking protocols under MacOS (TCP/IP, AppleTalk, IPX
372 <         etc.) but there is no connection between Linux networking and MacOS
373 <         networking. MacOS will only be able to talk to other machines on
374 <         the Ethernet, but not to other networks that your Linux box routes
375 <         (e.g. a second Ethernet or a PPP connection to the Internet).
367 >      1. Direct access to an Ethernet card via the "sheep_net" kernel module.
368 >         The "ethernet card description" must be the name of a real Ethernet
369 >         card, e.g. "eth0".
370 >
371 >         The sheep_net module is included in the Basilisk II source
372 >         distribution in the directory "src/Unix/Linux/NetDriver". You have
373 >         to compile and install the module yourself:

375 >           $ su
376 >           [enter root password]
377 >           # make
378 >           # make dev
379 >           [this will create a /dev/sheep_net device node; you should give
380 >            appropriate access rights to the user(s) running Basilisk II]
381 >           # insmod sheep_net.o
382 >
383 >         If you copy the sheep_net.o module to a place where it can be found
384 >         by the kernel module loader ("/lib/modules/<version>/kernel/drivers/net"
385 >         for 2.4 kernels) and add the line

387 >           alias char-major-10-198 sheep_net

389 >         to "/etc/modules.conf", the kernel should be able to load the module
390 >         automatically when Basilisk II is started.

392 >         The sheep_net module will allow you to run all networking protocols

397 >         connection to the Internet).
398  
399        2. Putting Basilisk II on a virtual Ethernet via the "ethertap" device.
400           In this case, the "ethernet card description" must be the name
401           of an ethertap interface, e.g. "tap0". It also requires that you
402 <         configure your kernel to enable routing and the ethertap device:
402 >         configure your kernel to enable routing and ethertap support:
403           under "Networking options", enable "Kernel/User netlink socket" and
404           "Netlink device emulation", under "Network device support", activate
405           "Ethertap network tap". You also have to modify drivers/net/ethertap.c
# Line 382 | Line 432 | ether <ethernet card description>
432           your network administrator about the nets and zones you can use
433           (instead of the ones given in the example above).
434  
435 +      3. Access the network through a "tuntap" interface.
436 +         The "ethernet card description" must be set to "tun".
437 +
438 +         TUN/TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user
439 +         space programs.  It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point
440 +         or Ethernet device, which instead of receiving packets from a
441 +         physical media, receives them from user space program and
442 +         instead of sending packets via physical media writes them to
443 +         the user space program.
444 +
445 +         A virtual network configuration script is required and the
446 +         default is /usr/local/BasiliskII/tunconfig unless you specify
447 +         a different file with the "etherconfig" item.
448 +
449 +         This script requires you that "sudo" is properly configured
450 +         so that "/sbin/ifconfig" and "/sbin/iptables" can be executed
451 +         as root. Otherwise, you can still write a helper script which
452 +         invokes your favorite program to enhance a user priviledges.
453 +         e.g. in a KDE environment, kdesu can be used as follows:
454 +
455 +           #!/bin/sh
456 +           exec /usr/bin/kdesu -c /path/to/tunconfig $1 $2
457 +
458 +      4. Access the network through the user mode network stack.
459 +         (the code and this documentation come from QEMU)
460 +
461 +         By setting the "ethernet card description" to "slirp",
462 +         Basilisk II uses a completely user mode network stack (you
463 +         don't need root priviledges to use the virtual network). The
464 +         virtual network configuration is the following:
465 +
466 +           Basilisk II <------> Firewall/DHCP server <-----> Internet
467 +           (10.0.2.x)      |         (10.0.2.2)
468 +                           |
469 +                           ----> DNS server (10.0.2.3)
470 +                           |
471 +                           ----> SMB server (10.0.2.4)
472 +
473 +         Basilisk II behaves as if it was behind a firewall which
474 +         blocks all incoming connections. You can use a DHCP client to
475 +         automatically configure the network in Basilisk II.
476 +
477 +         In order to check that the user mode network is working, you
478 +         can ping the address 10.0.2.2 and verify that you got an
479 +         address in the range 10.0.2.x from the Basilisk II virtual
480 +         DHCP server.
481 +
482 +         Note that ping is not supported reliably to the internet as
483 +         it would require root priviledges. It means you can only ping
484 +         the local router (10.0.2.2).
485 +
486 +         When using the built-in TFTP server, the router is also the
487 +         TFTP server.
488 +
489 +  FreeBSD:
490 +    The "ethertap" method described above also works under FreeBSD, but since
491 +    no-one has found the time to write a section for this manual, you're on
492 +    your own here...
493 +
494    AmigaOS:
495      You have to specify the name of the SANA-II Ethernet device and the device
496      unit as "<device name>/<unit>" (e.g. "ariadne.device/0"). If the given
# Line 389 | Line 498 | ether <ethernet card description>
498      not an Ethernet device, Basilisk II will display a warning message and
499      disable Ethernet networking.
500  
501 +  See the next item for an alternative way to do networking with Basilisk II.
502 +
503 + udptunnel <"true" or "false">
504 +
505 +  Setting this to "true" enables a special network mode in which all network
506 +  packets sent by MacOS are tunnelled over UDP using the host operating
507 +  system's native TCP/IP stack. This can only be used to connect computers
508 +  running Basilisk II (and not, for example, for connecting to the Internet
509 +  or an AppleShare server running on a real Mac), but it is probably the
510 +  easiest way to set up a network between two instances of Basilisk II
511 +  because the UDP tunnelling doesn't require any special kernel modules or
512 +  network add-ons. It relies on IP broadcasting, however, so its range is
513 +  limited. It should be fine though for doing a little file sharing or
514 +  playing Spectre.
515 +
516 + udpport <IP port number>
517 +
518 +  This item specifies the IP port number to use for the "UDP Tunnel" mode.

780   Usage
# Line 598 | Line 799 | Keyboard:
799    On PC-style keyboards, "Alt" is the Mac "Command" key, while the "Windows"
800    key is the Mac "Option" key.
801  
802 + Mouse:
803 +  Under Unix, pressing Ctrl-F5 while the Basilisk II window is active will
804 +  grab the mouse. This is needed for compatibility with some MacOS programs,
805 +  especially games such as flight simulators. Press Ctrl-F5 again to return
806 +  to normal mouse operation.
807 +
808   Floppy:
809    Basilisk II can only handle 1.44MB MFM floppies. Depending on your platform,
810 <  flopyy disk changes might not be detected automatically. Under Linux, press
810 >  floppy disk changes might not be detected automatically. Under Unix, press
811    Ctrl-F1 to mount a floppy. Under BeOS, select the appropriate "Mount" menu
812    item or press Ctrl-F1 to mount a floppy. Under Windows, press Ctrl-Shift-F11.
813  
814   HFS partitions:
815    Having HFS partitions mounted for read-write access under Basilisk II while
816    they are also mounted on the host OS will most likely result in volume
817 <  corruption and data losses. Unmount your HFS volumes before starting
817 >  corruption and data loss. Unmount your HFS volumes before starting
818    Basilisk II.
819  
820   ZIP drives:
# Line 626 | Line 833 | Mac Classic emulation:
833    ROM. Also, the video display is fixed to 512x342 in monochrome. The AmigaOS
834    and BeOS/PPC versions of Basilisk II cannot do Mac Classic emulation.
835  
836 + Video resolution switching:
837 +  Run-time switching of video resolutions requires the Display Manager. This
838 +  is included in MacOS versions 7.6 and above, and available as a system
839 +  extension for earlier MacOS versions as a free download from ftp.apple.com
840 +  (look for "Display Software 2.x"). Click on "Options..." in the "Monitors"
841 +  control panel to select the resolution.
842 +
843   Sound output:
844    Sound output under Basilisk II requires Sound Manager 3.0 or later. This
845 <  is included starting with MacOS 7.5 and available as a system extension
846 <  for earlier MacOS versions. Sample rate, bit resolution and mono/stereo
847 <  can be selected in the Sound control panel (section "Sound Out").

849  
850   Ethernet:
851    Basilisk II supports all Ethernet protocols. Running a protocol under
852    Basilisk II that already runs within the host operating system on the same
853    network card (e.g. running MacTCP under Basilisk II on a BeOS machine) may
854    or may not work (generally, it should work, but some specific things like
855 <  "ping" may not). If you have problems with FTP, try setting your FTP client
855 >  "ping" may not). If you have problems with FTP, try setting the FTP client
856    to passive mode.

858   LocalTalk:
# Line 647 | Line 862 | LocalTalk:
862  
863   Serial:
864    You can use the serial ports in Basilisk II to connect to the Internet
865 <  with a modem and "MacPPP".
865 >  with a modem and the "MacPPP" or "Open Transport/PPP" software.
