This makes getting files into Basilisk II harder. Luckily, older versions of
Apple's "Disk Copy" 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).

A new disk should appear on the emulation's desktop which contains the files

be formatted, you may have chosen the wrong type of image type in 'Disk Copy'

You should now be able to surf the web, or FTP download software,

<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>
