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 |
| 100 |
< |
handle this). The "volume description" is either the pathname of a hardfile |
| 101 |
< |
or a platform-dependant description of an HFS partition or drive. If the |
| 102 |
< |
volume description starts with an asterisk ("*"), the volume is write |
| 103 |
< |
protected for MacOS (and the "*" is discarded). |

the host system), HFS partitions on hard disks etc., and MacOS-partitioned |
| 99 |

disks (it can only access the first partition, though). The "volume |
| 100 |

description" is either the pathname of a hardfile or a platform-dependant |
| 101 |

description of an HFS partition or drive. If the volume description is |
| 102 |
> |
prefixed by an asterisk ("*"), the volume is write protected for MacOS. |
| 103 |

|
| 104 |

Basilisk II can also handle some types of Mac "disk image" files directly, |
| 105 |

as long as they are uncompressed and unencoded. |

|
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. |
| 111 |
|
|
| 112 |
|
Unix: |
| 113 |
< |
To specify an HFS partition, simply specify its path (e.g. |
| 114 |
< |
"/dev/sda5"). |
| 113 |
> |
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 |
| 115 |
> |
(Jaz, Zip etc.) and your operating system doesn't understand MacOS |
| 116 |
> |
partition tables, you can specify the block device name (e.g. "/dev/sda") |
| 117 |
> |
to access the first HFS partition on the device. Under Linux, if you |
| 118 |
> |
don't specify any volumes, Basilisk II will search /etc/fstab for |
| 119 |
> |
unmounted HFS partitions and use these. |

The "video mode" is one of the following: |
| 217 |
|
Unix: |
| 218 |
|
The "video mode" is one of the following: |
| 219 |
|
win/<width>/<height> |
| 220 |
< |
Color display in an X11 window of the given size. The color depth |
| 221 |
< |
(8/15/24 bit) depends on the depth of the underlying X11 screen. |
| 222 |
< |
This is the default. |
| 220 |
> |
Color display in an X11 window of the given size. There are several |
| 221 |
> |
resolutions and color depths available. The set of color depths |
| 222 |
> |
depends on the capabilities of the X11 server, the operating system, |
| 223 |
> |
and Basilisk II compile-time options, but 1 bit and the default depth |
| 224 |
> |
of the X11 screen should always be available. |
| 225 |
|
dga/<width>/<height> |
| 226 |
|
[if Basilisk II was configured with --enable-xf86-dga] |
| 227 |
|
Full-screen display using the XFree86 DGA extension. The color depth |
| 285 |
|
application via Alt-Tab, Basilisk II is put in "snooze" mode (i.e. MacOS |
| 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. |

This item describes the serial port to be used as Port A (Modem Port) |
| 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" |
| 364 |
|
The "ethernet card description" is the name of an Ethernet interface. |
| 365 |
|
There are two 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: |
| 374 |
> |
|
| 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 |
| 386 |
> |
|
| 387 |
> |
alias char-major-10-198 sheep_net |
| 388 |
> |
|
| 389 |
> |
to "/etc/modules.conf", the kernel should be able to load the module |
| 390 |
> |
automatically when Basilisk II is started. |
| 391 |
> |
|
| 392 |
> |
The sheep_net module will allow you to run all networking protocols |
| 393 |
> |
under MacOS (TCP/IP, AppleTalk, IPX etc.) but there is no connection |
| 394 |
> |
between Linux networking and MacOS networking. MacOS will only be |
| 395 |
> |
able to talk to other machines on the Ethernet, but not to other |
| 396 |

networks that your Linux box routes (e.g. a second Ethernet or a PPP |
| 397 |
> |
connection to the Internet). |

|
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 |
| 444 |
|
not an Ethernet device, Basilisk II will display a warning message and |
| 445 |
|
disable Ethernet networking. |
| 446 |
|
|
| 447 |
+ |
See the next item for an alternative way to do networking with Basilisk II. |
| 448 |
+ |
|
| 449 |
+ |
udptunnel <"true" or "false"> |
| 450 |
+ |
|
| 451 |
+ |
Setting this to "true" enables a special network mode in which all network |
| 452 |
+ |
packets sent by MacOS are tunnelled over UDP using the host operating |
| 453 |
+ |
system's native TCP/IP stack. This can only be used to connect computers |
| 454 |
+ |
running Basilisk II (and not, for example, for connecting to the Internet |
| 455 |
+ |
or an AppleShare server running on a real Mac), but it is probably the |
| 456 |
+ |
easiest way to set up a network between two instances of Basilisk II |
| 457 |
+ |
because the UDP tunnelling doesn't require any special kernel modules or |
| 458 |
+ |
network add-ons. It relies on IP broadcasting, however, so its range is |
| 459 |
+ |
limited. It should be fine though for doing a little file sharing or |
| 460 |
+ |
playing Spectre. |
| 461 |
+ |
|
| 462 |
+ |
udpport <IP port number> |
| 463 |
+ |
|
| 464 |
+ |
This item specifies the IP port number to use for the "UDP Tunnel" mode. |
| 465 |
+ |
The default is 6066. |
| 466 |
+ |
|
| 467 |
|
rom <ROM file path> |
| 468 |
|
|
| 469 |
|
This item specifies the file name of the Mac ROM file to be used by |
| 498 |
|
|
| 499 |
|
modelid <MacOS model ID> |
| 500 |
|
|
| 501 |
< |
Specifies the Model ID that Basilisk II should report to MacOS. |
| 502 |
< |
The default is "5" which corresponds to a Mac IIci. If you want to |
| 503 |
< |
run MacOS 8, you have to set this to "14" (Quadra 900). Other values |
| 504 |
< |
are not officially supported and may result in crashes. MacOS versions |
| 505 |
< |
earlier than 7.5 may only run with the Model ID set to "5". If you are |
| 506 |
< |
using a Mac Classic ROM, the model is always "Mac Classic" and this |
| 507 |
< |
setting is ignored. |
| 501 |

| 508 |
|
|
| 509 |
|
nosound <"true" or "false"> |
| 510 |
|
|
| 568 |
|
the number of key events sent to MacOS for each wheel movement (the |
| 569 |
|
number of lines to scroll). |
| 570 |
|
|
| 571 |
+ |
ignoresegv <"true" or "false"> |
| 572 |
+ |
|
| 573 |
+ |
Set this to "true" to ignore illegal memory accesses. The default |
| 574 |
+ |
is "false". This feature is only implemented on the following |
| 575 |
+ |
platforms: Linux/x86, Linux/ppc, Darwin/ppc. |
| 576 |
+ |
|
| 577 |
+ |
dsp <device name> |
| 578 |
+ |
mixer <device name> |
| 579 |
+ |
|
| 580 |
+ |
Under Linux and FreeBSD, this specifies the devices to be used for sound |
| 581 |
+ |
output and volume control, respectively. The defaults are "/dev/dsp" and |
| 582 |
+ |
"/dev/mixer". |

scsimemtype <type> |
| 595 |
+ |
|
| 596 |
+ |
This item controls the type of memory to use for SCSI buffers. Possible |
| 597 |
+ |
values are: |
| 598 |
+ |
0 Chip memory |
| 599 |
+ |
1 24-bit DMA capable memory |
| 600 |
+ |
2 Any memory |
| 601 |
+ |
|
| 602 |
+ |
Be warned that many SCSI host adapters will not work with the "Any memory" |
| 603 |
+ |
setting. Basilisk II has no way of knowing which memory type is supported |
| 604 |
+ |
by the host adapter and setting an unsupported type will result in data |
| 605 |
+ |
corruption. |
| 606 |

|
Windows: |
| 608 |
|
|

|
noscsi <"true" or "false"> |
| 614 |
|
means is that the control is not returned to the application until the |
| 615 |
|
command is completely finished. Normally this is not an issue, but when a |
| 616 |
|
CDR/CDRW is closed or erased the burner program typically wants to wait in |
| 617 |
< |
some progress dialog The result may be that the application reports a |
| 617 |
> |

time-out error, but the operation completes all right anyway. |
| 619 |
|
|
| 620 |
|
nofloppyboot <"true" or "false"> |
| 628 |
|
This is very useful since many devices have almost identical ATAPI and SCSI |
| 629 |
|
versions of their hardware, and MacOS applications usually support the SCSI |
| 630 |
|
version only. The example below is typical: |
| 631 |

Usage |
| 737 |
|
On PC-style keyboards, "Alt" is the Mac "Command" key, while the "Windows" |
| 738 |
|
key is the Mac "Option" key. |
| 739 |
|
|
| 740 |
+ |
Mouse: |
| 741 |
+ |
Under Unix, pressing Ctrl-F5 while the Basilisk II window is active will |
| 742 |
+ |
grab the mouse. This is needed for compatibility with some MacOS programs, |
| 743 |
+ |
especially games such as flight simulators. Press Ctrl-F5 again to return |
| 744 |
+ |
to normal mouse operation. |
| 745 |
+ |
|
| 746 |
|
Floppy: |
| 747 |
|
Basilisk II can only handle 1.44MB MFM floppies. Depending on your platform, |
| 748 |
< |
flopyy disk changes might not be detected automatically. Under Linux, press |
| 748 |
> |
floppy disk changes might not be detected automatically. Under Unix, press |
| 749 |
|
Ctrl-F1 to mount a floppy. Under BeOS, select the appropriate "Mount" menu |
| 750 |
|
item or press Ctrl-F1 to mount a floppy. Under Windows, press Ctrl-Shift-F11. |
| 751 |
|
|
| 752 |
|
HFS partitions: |
| 753 |
|
Having HFS partitions mounted for read-write access under Basilisk II while |
| 754 |
|
they are also mounted on the host OS will most likely result in volume |
| 755 |
< |
corruption and data losses. Unmount your HFS volumes before starting |

| 757 |
|
|
| 758 |
|
ZIP drives: |
| 771 |
|
ROM. Also, the video display is fixed to 512x342 in monochrome. The AmigaOS |
| 772 |
|
and BeOS/PPC versions of Basilisk II cannot do Mac Classic emulation. |
| 773 |
|
|
| 774 |
+ |
Video resolution switching: |
| 775 |
+ |
Run-time switching of video resolutions requires the Display Manager. This |
| 776 |
+ |
is included in MacOS versions 7.6 and above, and available as a system |
| 777 |
+ |
extension for earlier MacOS versions as a free download from ftp.apple.com |
| 778 |
+ |
(look for "Display Software 2.x"). Click on "Options..." in the "Monitors" |
| 779 |
+ |
control panel to select the resolution. |
| 780 |
+ |
|
| 781 |
|
Sound output: |
| 782 |
|
Sound output under Basilisk II requires Sound Manager 3.0 or later. This |
| 783 |
< |
is included starting with MacOS 7.5 and available as a system extension |
| 784 |
< |
for earlier MacOS versions. Sample rate, bit resolution and mono/stereo |
| 785 |
< |
can be selected in the Sound control panel (section "Sound Out"). |

|
Ethernet: |
| 789 |
|
Basilisk II supports all Ethernet protocols. Running a protocol under |
| 790 |
|
Basilisk II that already runs within the host operating system on the same |
| 791 |
|
network card (e.g. running MacTCP under Basilisk II on a BeOS machine) may |
| 792 |
|
or may not work (generally, it should work, but some specific things like |
| 793 |
< |
"ping" may not). If you have problems with FTP, try setting your FTP client |

"ping" may not). If you have problems with FTP, try setting the FTP client |

|
LocalTalk: |
| 800 |
|
|
| 801 |
|
Serial: |
| 802 |
|
You can use the serial ports in Basilisk II to connect to the Internet |
| 803 |
< |
with a modem and "MacPPP". |

If you don't have a fix, you should post a bug report using the Source Forge |
| 851 |
+ |
bug tracker, supplying as much information as possible (operating system and |
| 852 |
+ |
versions of Basilisk II and MacOS being used, relevant hardware information, |
| 853 |
+ |
the exact steps to reproduce the bug, etc.): |

You can contact me at <Christian.Bauer@uni-mainz.de>. Don't send bug |
| 864 |
< |
reports, send fixes. Ports to other platforms are also very welcome. |
| 865 |
< |
Please contact me before you intend to make major changes to the source. |
| 866 |

You might be working on something that I have already done or I may have |
| 867 |
< |
different ideas about the Right Way to do it. |
| 868 |

|
| 869 |

Questions about ROM files will not be answered. There is also no point in |
| 870 |
< |
sending me questions etc. that are specific to the Windows port of |
| 871 |
< |
Basilisk II. I don't have Windows and can't say anything about that. |
| 872 |
< |
Ask Lauri Pesonen instead. |
