netBOOT for Old World Macs

Now I'm trying to get it working! The dream is to boot all my Classics over PhoneNet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Progress so far
|
|
---------------
|
|
The best build options for Mini vMac are: `-br 37 -m Classic -lt -speed z -as 0 -chr 0`. Note that this requires the new (as of mid-2020) version of Mini vMac, with Rob Mitchelmore's clever LocalTalk-over-UDP tunneling.
|
|
|
|
Run `make testchain` to boot an emulated Classic from a Python server.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Trivia
|
|
------
|
|
The Classic is the only non-IIci non-SuperMario ROM with .netBOOT and .ATBOOT drivers. They are part of the overpatch imposed on the SE ROM, and were essentially backported (see the SuperMario forXO.a file). I use the Classic ROM here because it can be emulated in Mini vMac, but the newer netBOOT-equipped ROMs should work.
