<p> What next, after reading the
|
|
<a href="start.html">Getting Started with Mini vMac</a>
|
|
page :</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> <b> ROM location </b> </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can avoid having to tell Mini vMac where the ROM image file
|
|
is on every launch by putting the file in one of the places
|
|
that Mini vMac looks for it.
|
|
The simplest place is in the folder containing
|
|
the Mini vMac application. The ROM image file needs to be
|
|
named “vMac.ROM”.
|
|
See the
|
|
<a href="hardware.html#rom">ROM</a>
|
|
section of the Emulated Hardware Reference for the full list
|
|
of places.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
In recent versions of OS X, putting the ROM image in the
|
|
application folder does not work due to
|
|
the “Path Randomization” misfeature. See the
|
|
<a href="osx_note.html">OS X notes</a> for a way
|
|
to turn this off. Otherwise, use one of the other locations.

These are How-To guides that go beyond the Getting Started guide.
|

</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> <b> Read the <a href="index.html">documentation</a> </b> </p>
|
|
|

<p>
|
|
The <a href="control.html">Control</a> page, about
|
|
the user interface, and the emulated
|
|
<a href="hardware.html">Hardware</a> reference
|
|
are rather dense, but have a lot of useful information.

|
|
|
<p> <b> Install System Software </b> </p>
|
|
|
|
<p> The System 6.0.8 installer disk used in the
|
|
Getting Started page
|
|
is not intended to be used as your normal boot disk.
|
|
Instead you should run the installer to install the
|
|
system software on a blank disk.
|
|
You can get a new blank disk image from the
|
|
“<a href="../../c/minivmac/extras/blanks/index.html">Blanks</a>”
|
|
archive.
|
|
(You will need the second installer disk for this,
|
|
“System Additions”, which is contained in
|
|
“SSW_6.0.8-1.4MB_Disk2of2.sea.bin”.) </p>
|
|
|
|
<p> Other system versions are also available from Apple. The
|
|
<a href="../sw/index.html">Macintosh Plus System Software</a>
|
|
pages contain selected links.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
<p> <b> Get Macintosh Software </b> </p>
|
|
|
|
<p> The
|
|
<a href="https://www.gryphel.com/c/sw/index.html">Software</a> pages have
|
|
hundreds of programs that will run on a Macintosh Plus,
|
|
repackaged into the zipped disk image format that is convenient for use
|
|
with Mini vMac.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> The <a href="extras/index.html">Mini vMac Extras</a>
|
|
are a collection of software made to be used with Mini vMac. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
To use your own programs from other sources with Mini vMac, you will
|
|
first need to get it into a disk image. This can be done with the
|
|
<a href="extras/importfl/index.html">ImportFl</a>
|
|
utility.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> <b> Learn about Macintosh </b> </p>
|
|
|
|
<p> One source of general Macintosh information is old books. They usually
|
|
can be found used quite cheaply. My
|
|
<a href="https://www.gryphel.com/c/books/index.html">Books about Macintosh 680x0</a>
|
|
index lists many, including Amazon links. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p> <b> Getting Help </b> </p>
|
|
|
|
<p> If you have a question about using Mini vMac,
|
|
it is usually quickest to check the
|
|
Mini vMac documentation and the Mini vMac
|
|
<a href="faq.html">FAQ</a>
|
|
(Frequently Asked Questions).
|
|
If that doesn't help you can ask on one of the various internet
|
|
<a href="https://www.gryphel.com/c/forums/index.html">forums related to Mini vMac</a>,
|
|
or ask me directly using the
|
