prefs items changes but it should now be simpler to add other ethernet
emulation means (slirp, tap-win32).
# Basilisk II driver mode
ether {guid}
becomes
ether b2ether
etherguid {guid}
# Basilisk II Router mode
routerenabled true
becomes
ether router
as BasiliskIIGUI.app, or /Applications/BasiliskII.app if none was found.
Also make yet another arrangement for MacOS X "difference". This scenario
was not working: WarningAlert -> ErrorAlert, the latter was not performed
because the exit status was not properly filled in sip->si_status...
- Rewrote dispatch loop to accomodate GTK+1.2 for MacOS X (which doesn't
like threads nor forks(!)). The latter also requires an additional patch
to the version 0.7 available on SourceForge
- Run-time detect JIT capability so that we could hopefully use the ppc GUI
on intel based Macs (check!)
STANDALONE_GUI. This is the second step towards a more interesting GUI alike
to VMware. Communication from/to the GUI is held by some lightweight RPC.
Note: The step should be enough to provide a tiny GTK GUI for MacOS X.

This does improve slirp performance a lot, especially in FTP passive mode
transfers. i.e. now, they are equally as fast as non passive mode. I get
approx. 800 KB/sec in B2 and 500 KB/sec in SheepShaver (over a DSL line).
In native env, the max download data rate from my ISP is around 950 KB/sec.
up to 1 GB of Mac RAM in both REAL_ADDRESSING and DIRECT_ADDRESSING modes.
NetBSD 2.0 can use the Linux linker script. However, I could not verify 1G
support since my installation does not permit this.
arches. This probably already worked in the past but I have just verified
that Basilisk II works with up to 1 GB of Mac RAM in DIRECT_ADDRESSING or
REAL_ADDRESSING mode.
BTW, a quick Speedometer 4 CPU performance test showed a +15% speed increase
in real addressing mode vs. direct addressing. x86 arches don't benefit much
from that mode since they support complex address modes already (beyond plain
load/store).
TODO: check on MacOS X for Intel so that to reduce the test to darwin*:*)
