To run Basilisk II, you need both:
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>A Mac ROM image. Even though there is a ROM in your OS X Mac,
|
|
it is too new for a 68k Mac to make use of. Any Mac II ROM,
|
|
and most of the Quadra ROMS, will work.
|
|
<BR> (Quadra 660av and 840av ROMs are currently unusable.
|
|
I don't know about Mac LC ROMs. In the near future, Mac Plus,
|
|
SE or Classic ROMS may also be usable, though only for emulating
|
|
a monochrome Mac). </LI>
|
|
<LI>A copy of the MacOS, which at the moment has to either be on
|
|
a CD-ROM, or on a disk image </LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
|
|
<HR>
|
|
|
|
<H2> <A NAME="rom"> Macintosh ROM image </A> </H2>
|
|
|
|
<P> To run Basilisk II, you need a ROM image, which is a data file
|
|
containing a copy of the ROM chips from a real 68k Macintosh. </P>
|
|
|
|
<P> The best way (<I>i.e.</I> most legally acceptable) to get a ROM
|
|
image is to produce it from your old Mac. Take a program like CopyROM,
|
|
download it onto your old Mac, and use it to produce the image file,
|
|
which you then copy or upload to your OS X Mac.
|
|
A good page which describes this process is
|
|
<A HREF="http://mes.emuunlim.com/tips/capturing_a_mac_rom_image.htm">here</A>.
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
<P> The easiest way to get a ROM image is to get one from someone else
|
|
(<I>e.g.</I> another Basilisk II user, or an emulation web site).
|
|
Note that this probably contravenes several copyright laws. </P>
|
|
|
|
<P>Once you have your ROM image, you need to tell Basilisk II to use it:
|
|
<OL>
|
|
<LI> Open the Basilisk II application </LI>
|
|
<LI> Go to the 'BasiliskII' menu, then the Preferences...' menu item </LI>
|
|
<LI> On the Emulation tab, there is a field 'ROM file:'. Either type in the
|
|
path to the ROM file, or click the Browse button and Open the ROM file </LI>
|
|
<LI> Click the Save button, so that Basilisk II will be able to find the ROM
|
|
each time you boot it </LI>
|
|
</OL>
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
<P> If you want to test this, press the Run or Power button
|
|
(in the top right corner of the 'BasiliskII Emulator' window).
|
|
After a few moments you should see a Mac screen, with a picture of a floppy
|
|
disk with a flashing question mark. That is the Mac telling you that it needs
|
|
a disk to boot from. </P>
|
|
|
|
<HR>
|
|
|
|
<H2> <A NAME="b-disk"> Finding a boot disk </A> </H2>
|
|
|
|
<P> Basilisk II needs a copy of the MacOS to boot from. Anything from System 7
|
|
through to MacOS 8.1 should be usable.
|
|
<BR> (Felix Eng and I have only tested System 7.0.1, 7.1, 7.5.3 and 7.6,
|
|
although Felix also got System 6.0.8 to work with SE/30 Roms) </P>
|
|
|
|
Basilisk II can currently boot from:
|
|
<TABLE BORDER=1>

<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>

<TD> Jonathan C. Silverstein reports that

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

<BR>Thanks to Attilio Farina for this tip! </P>

because my generic 7.1 install CD didn't support the Quadra),

|
|
(If it is already running, but showing the floppy with the question mark,

You should get a HappyMac, and the emulator will start to boot from the CD.

You should then a dialog asking you to format a disk. </LI>

<P> After the installer finishes it may try to reboot (or you may need to

force a reboot). When it reboots, BasiliskII may exit. Start it again,

<H2> <A NAME="mount">Mounting Unix Files</A> </H2>
|
|
|
|
<P> If Basilisk II is running MacOS 7.5.3 or newer, you can easily access some
|
|
of the files from your OS X disks. Just set the 'Unix directory to mount' in the
|
|
Volumes tab of the Preferences. Next time the Emulator starts up, a new disk
|
|
will appear on its Desktop (called Unix). </P>
|
|
|
|
<P> To prevent clashes with the OS X desktop files, I suggest that the directory
|
|
you select is not a whole disk (<I>e.g.</I> '/' or '/Volumes/disk'). Mount a
|
|
sub-folder instead (like '/Applications (Mac OS 9)'). </P>
|

<HR>
|

|
|
<H2> <A NAME="import">Importing Mac Files</A> </H2>
|
|
|
|
<P> If you are not running MacOS 7.5.3 or newer, the above trick won't work.
|
|
This makes getting files into Basilisk II harder. Luckily, Apple's 'Disk Copy'
|
|
or 'Disk Utility' can create a disk image file that is compatible
|
|
with Basilisk II (<I>i.e.</I> you can add it as a disk volume). </P>
|
|
|
|
<OL>
|
|
<LI> Open 10.1's 'Disk Copy' program, and create a 'Mac Standard' image,
|
|
<BR> or 10.3's 'Disk Utility', and create a 'read/write disk image',
|
|
<BR> or Disk Copy 6.??? in Classic, and create new image </LI>
|
|
<LI> If the image is not mounted, mount it </LI>
|
|
<LI> Copy any files that you want to access in the emulator to the mounted
|
|
image </LI>
|
|
<LI> Unmount the image </LI>
|
|
<LI> In Basilisk II's preferences, go to the 'Disk Volumes' tab,
|
|
add your new image, and start the emulation </LI>
|
|
</OL>
|
|
|
|
A new disk should appear on the emulation's desktop which contains the files
|
|
that you wanted to access. If the emulator complains about a disk needing to
|
|
be formatted, you may have chosen the wrong type of image type in 'Disk Copy'
|
|
or 'Disk Utility.'

|
<H2> <A NAME="net">Networking</A> </H2>
|
|
|
|
<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,
|
|
and set the emulator's EtherNet interface to slirp </LI>
|
|
<LI> Start the Emulator </LI>
|
|
<LI> In the emulated MacOS, open the TCP/IP Control Panel and set:
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI> 'Connect via:' to EtherNet, and </LI>
|
|
<LI> 'Configure:' to 'Using DHCP Server' </LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
<LI> Restart the emulation. </LI>
|
|
</OL>
|
|
You should now be able to surf the web, or FTP download software,
|
|
in the emulated Mac. Not sure about AppleTalk networking, though. </P>
|
|
|
|
<P> Note that this does not require the OS X Mac to be using EtherNet,
|
|
any working TCP/IP networking should be fine. I have tested it over
|
|
DHCP EtherNet (ADSL modem/router at home), and with a static IP
|
|
address at work (which also has an external web proxy/firewall). </P>
