To run Basilisk II, you need both: |
| 22 |
<UL> |
| 23 |
<LI>A Mac ROM image. Even though there is a ROM in your OS X Mac, |
| 24 |
it is too new for a 68k Mac to make use of. Any Mac II ROM, |
| 25 |
and most of the Quadra ROMS, will work. |
| 26 |
<BR> (Quadra 660av and 840av ROMs are currently unusable. |
| 27 |
I don't know about Mac LC ROMs. In the near future, Mac Plus, |
| 28 |
SE or Classic ROMS may also be usable, though only for emulating |
| 29 |
a monochrome Mac). </LI> |
| 30 |
<LI>A copy of the MacOS, which at the moment has to either be on |
| 31 |
a CD-ROM, or on a disk image </LI> |
| 32 |
</UL> |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
<HR> |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
<H2> <A NAME="rom"> Macintosh ROM image </A> </H2> |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
<P> To run Basilisk II, you need a ROM image, which is a data file |
| 39 |
containing a copy of the ROM chips from a real 68k Macintosh. </P> |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
<P> The best way (<I>i.e.</I> most legally acceptable) to get a ROM |
| 42 |
image is to produce it from your old Mac. Take a program like CopyROM, |
| 43 |
download it onto your old Mac, and use it to produce the image file, |
| 44 |
which you then copy or upload to your OS X Mac. |
| 45 |
A good page which describes this process is |
| 46 |
<A HREF="http://mes.emuunlim.com/tips/capturing_a_mac_rom_image.htm">here</A>. |
| 47 |
</P> |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
<P> The easiest way to get a ROM image is to get one from someone else |
| 50 |
(<I>e.g.</I> another Basilisk II user, or an emulation web site). |
| 51 |
Note that this probably contravenes several copyright laws. </P> |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
<P>Once you have your ROM image, you need to tell Basilisk II to use it: |
| 54 |
<OL> |
| 55 |
<LI> Open the Basilisk II application </LI> |
| 56 |
<LI> Go to the 'BasiliskII' menu, then the Preferences...' menu item </LI> |
| 57 |
<LI> On the Emulation tab, there is a field 'ROM file:'. Either type in the |
| 58 |
path to the ROM file, or click the Browse button and Open the ROM file </LI> |
| 59 |
<LI> Click the Save button, so that Basilisk II will be able to find the ROM |
| 60 |
each time you boot it </LI> |
| 61 |
</OL> |
| 62 |
</P> |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
<P> If you want to test this, press the Run or Power button |
| 65 |
(in the top right corner of the 'BasiliskII Emulator' window). |
| 66 |
After a few moments you should see a Mac screen, with a picture of a floppy |
| 67 |
disk with a flashing question mark. That is the Mac telling you that it needs |
| 68 |
a disk to boot from. </P> |
| 69 |

|
| 72 |
<H2> <A NAME="b-disk"> Finding a boot disk </A> </H2> |
| 73 |
|
| 74 |
<P> Basilisk II needs a copy of the MacOS to boot from. Anything from System 7 |
| 75 |
through to MacOS 8.1 should be usable. |
| 76 |
<BR> (Felix Eng and I have only tested System 7.0.1, 7.1, 7.5.3 and 7.6, |
| 77 |
although Felix also got System 6.0.8 to work with SE/30 Roms) </P> |

Basilisk II can currently boot from: |

<TD> CD-ROM </TD> |

<TD> Most (not all) MacOS Install CDs will also boot your Mac. I also think |

that some old Norton Utilities install CDs might have booted 68k Macs </TD> |

<A HREF="http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/Macintosh/Utilities/Network_Access_Disk_7.5.sea.bin">this</A> Apple floppy disk image will boot Basilisk II </TD> |

that they are using </TD> |

</TR> |
| 96 |
</TABLE> |
| 97 |
|
| 98 |
<P> It is possible to use Basilisk II with a CD-ROM or floppy image, but |
| 99 |
because most bootable CDs have a minimal System Folder, it is better if you |
| 100 |
use a disk image with a more complete MacOS installed on it. The next section |
| 101 |
tells you how to do this. </P> |
| 102 |
|
| 103 |
<P> Note that there is currently no Install CD image on Apple's Web site, but |
| 104 |
they do seem to have MacOS 7.5.3 floppy disk images (all 19 of them). Burning |
| 105 |
those images onto a CD (not in the extended format) should allow you to install. |
| 106 |

<P> After the installer finishes it may try to reboot (or you may need to |
| 152 |
force a reboot). When it reboots, BasiliskII may exit. Start it again, |
| 153 |
and you should boot into your installed OS. </P> |

| 158 |
|
| 159 |
<P> If Basilisk II is running MacOS 7.5.3 or newer, you can easily access some |
| 160 |
of the files from your OS X disks. Just set the 'Unix directory to mount' in the |
| 161 |
Volumes tab of the Preferences. Next time the Emulator starts up, a new disk |
| 162 |
will appear on its Desktop (called Unix). </P> |
| 163 |
|
| 164 |
<P> To prevent clashes with the OS X desktop files, I suggest that the directory |
| 165 |
you select is not a whole disk (<I>e.g.</I> '/' or '/Volumes/disk'). Mount a |
| 166 |
sub-folder instead (like '/Applications (Mac OS 9)'). </P> |

|
| 172 |
<P> If you are not running MacOS 7.5.3 or newer, the above trick won't work. |
| 173 |
This makes getting files into Basilisk II harder. Luckily, Apple's 'Disk Copy' |
| 174 |
or 'Disk Utility' can create a disk image file that is compatible |
| 175 |
with Basilisk II (<I>i.e.</I> you can add it as a disk volume). </P> |
| 176 |
|
| 177 |
<OL> |
| 178 |
<LI> Open 10.1's 'Disk Copy' program, and create a 'Mac Standard' image, |
| 179 |
<BR> or 10.3's 'Disk Utility', and create a 'read/write disk image', |
| 180 |
<BR> or Disk Copy 6.??? in Classic, and create new image </LI> |
| 181 |
<LI> If the image is not mounted, mount it </LI> |

add your new image, and start the emulation </LI> |

</OL> |
| 188 |
|
| 189 |
A new disk should appear on the emulation's desktop which contains the files |
| 190 |
that you wanted to access. If the emulator complains about a disk needing to |
| 191 |
be formatted, you may have chosen the wrong type of image type in 'Disk Copy' |
| 192 |
or 'Disk Utility.' |

<P> If your Mac is networked, then your emulated MacOS can also access that |

network: |

<OL> |

<LI> Open Basilisk II, go to the Preferences, then the Hardware tab, |
| 201 |
and set the emulator's EtherNet interface to slirp </LI> |
| 202 |
<LI> Start the Emulator </LI> |
| 203 |
<LI> In the emulated MacOS, open the TCP/IP Control Panel and set: |
| 204 |
<UL> |
| 205 |
<LI> 'Connect via:' to EtherNet, and </LI> |
| 206 |
<LI> 'Configure:' to 'Using DHCP Server' </LI> |
| 207 |
</UL> |
| 208 |
<LI> Restart the emulation. </LI> |
| 209 |
</OL> |
| 210 |
You should now be able to surf the web, or FTP download software, |
| 211 |
in the emulated Mac. Not sure about AppleTalk networking, though. </P> |
| 212 |
|
| 213 |
<P> Note that this does not require the OS X Mac to be using EtherNet, |
| 214 |
any working TCP/IP networking should be fine. I have tested it over |
| 215 |
DHCP EtherNet (ADSL modem/router at home), and with a static IP |
| 216 |
address at work (which also has an external web proxy/firewall). </P> |
