<H1>Using SheepShaver</H1>
|
|
|
|
<H2>Changing the display mode</H2>
|
|
|
|
SheepShaver can display the MacOS user interface in a BeOS window or full-screen
|
|
(much faster) in several resolutions and color depths. You select the display mode
|
|
as usual under MacOS in the "Monitors" control panel (under System 7.x, click on "Options").
|
|
The "75Hz" modes are full-screen modes, the "60Hz" modes are window modes
|
|
(this doesn't mean that the video refresh rate is 75 or 60Hz in the respective modes;
|
|
the rate displayed has no meaning; it's simply there to distinguish full screen modes
|
|
from window modes).
|
|
|
|
<H2>Window mode</H2>
|
|
|
|
The SheepShaver window has a menu at the bottom that allows you to change the
|
|
graphics refresh rate and to mount floppy disks (see below). The window refresh is
|
|
disabled as long as the "Scroll Lock" key is pressed (the graphics output is then frozen).
|
|
|
|
<H2>Full-screen mode</H2>
|
|
|
|
The full-screen mode uses a whole BeOS workspace for displaying the MacOS user
|
|
interface. You can switch workspaces with Command-F1/F2/F3/etc. Please note that
|
|
the MacOS (and all MacOS applications) will be suspended when you switch to a different
|
|
workspace. It will only be resumed when you go back to the SheepShaver workspace.
|
|
|
|
<H2>Networking</H2>
|
|
|
|
SheepShaver only supports Ethernet networking (and PPP via the serial
|
|
ports). If there are multiple Ethernet cards installed, only the first
|
|
card will be used. The Ethernet support is implemented at the data-link
|
|
level. This implies that the "Mac" and the "Be" side must have two different
|
|
network addresses.
|
|
|
|
<H2>Using floppy disks</H2>
|
|
|
|
Floppy disks are not automatically detected when they are inserted. They have to be
|
|
mounted explicitly. After inserting a floppy disk, select the "Mount Floppy" item in the
|
|
"SheepShaver" menu (when running in window mode), or press Ctrl-F1 (when running in
|
|
full-screen mode). BeBox users should note that floppy disks also have to be unmounted
|
|
under MacOS before ejecting them from the drive.
|
|
|
|
<H2>Accessing BeOS files</H2>
|
|
|
|
SheepShaver will display a "BeOS" disk icon on the Mac desktop that allows you
|
|
to access any BeOS files/folders which are in the directory specified as "BeOS Root"
|
|
in the "Volumes" pane of the SheepShaver settings. You can open and save files on the
|
|
"BeOS" disk from Mac applications, copy, move or rename files from the Finder etc.
|
|
Putting files/folder to the trash may however not always work. SheepShaver translates
|
|
some BeOS file types to MacOS types and vice versa, so e.g. JPEG and PDF files will
|
|
show up the correct icons in the Finder. To store Mac resources and other additional
|
|
data, SheepShaver uses the following BeOS file attributes:
|
|
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI><CODE>MACOS:RFORK</CODE> contains the complete Mac resource fork of the file
|
|
<LI><CODE>MACOS:HFS_FLAGS</CODE> contains Finder flags
|
|
<LI><CODE>MACOS:CREATOR</CODE> contains the MacOS creator application ID
|
|
</UL>
|
|
|
|
<H2>Copying text via the clipboard</H2>
|
|
|
|
SheepShaver tries to keep the BeOS and MacOS clipboards synchronized. That means,
|
|
when you copy a piece of text under BeOS, you can paste it into a MacOS application
|
|
and vice versa.
