Mini vMac
</h3>
<hr>
<p> First, if you have not already done so,
<a href="dnld_std.html">download a standard variation</a>,
choosing the appropriate version of Mini vMac for your operating system.
If your web browser doesn’t automatically expand it, do
so manually.
</p>
<p> Next you will need a
<a href="hardware.html#rom">ROM</a>
image file from a Macintosh Plus.
This file should be named “vMac.ROM”.
A utility such as
“<a href="extras/copyroms/index.html">CopyRoms</a>”
can be used to obtain this file from your Macintosh
Plus. (If you don’t have a Macintosh Plus, you could check the
“<a href="https://www.gryphel.com/c/buymac/index.html">Where to buy an old Macintosh</a>”
page.)
(And before you ask, the FAQ page has a section about
<a href="faq.html#rom">ROM images</a>.)
</p>
<p>
Next, you will need a bootable disk image
for the Macintosh Plus. You can download
the two System 6.0.8 install disks from Apple:
“<a href="http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/Macintosh/System/Older_System/System_6.0.x/SSW_6.0.8-1.4MB_Disk1of2.sea.bin">SSW_6.0.8-1.4MB_Disk1of2.sea.bin</a>”
and
“<a href="http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/Macintosh/System/Older_System/System_6.0.x/SSW_6.0.8-1.4MB_Disk2of2.sea.bin">SSW_6.0.8-1.4MB_Disk2of2.sea.bin</a>”.
</p>
<p>
Use any modern version of the program Stuffit Expander
(now from Smith Micro Inc.)
to get the disk image “System Startup”
from “SSW_6.0.8-1.4MB_Disk1of2.sea.bin”.
(If you can't use Stuffit Expander, or don't wish to install it, see the
<a href="sit_alt.html">Alternatives</a> page.)
</p>
<p>
Now launch Mini vMac. For most operating systems, you can
double click on the application’s icon.
</p>
<p>
Unless Mini vMac finds the ROM image file in one of the
places it looks, it will display this message in the
new window it opens:
</p>
<div> <img src="https://www.gryphel.com/d/minivmac/start0.gif" width=514 height=344 border=0 alt="waiting for ROM"> </div>
<p>
To get past this, drag the icon of your ROM image
file, “vMac.ROM”, onto the Mini vMac window.
</p>
<p> The Mini vMac window should
fill with a gray pattern, with
a picture of a floppy disk in the
center, with a blinking question mark on it: </p>
<div> <img src="https://www.gryphel.com/d/minivmac/start1.gif" width=514 height=344 border=0 alt="blinking question mark"> </div>
<p> Drag the icon of your bootable disk image,
“System Startup”, onto the
Mini vMac window. The emulated computer
should boot from this image, starting
up the Finder, with a menu bar at
the top of the emulated screen: </p>
<div> <img src="https://www.gryphel.com/d/minivmac/start2.gif" width=514 height=344 border=0 alt="System 6"> </div>
<p> When you’re done looking at this,
choose the “Shut Down” command
from the “Special” menu on the
emulated screen: </p>
<div> <img src="https://www.gryphel.com/d/minivmac/start3.gif" width=514 height=344 border=0 alt="Shut Down"> </div>
<p> Then click on the
close box of the Mini vMac window
to quit the application. </p>
