![]() First, open the package and burrow down to Files->sheepvmfiles, and edit the file basicprefs. SECOND EDIT: In order to be able to connect TO the Mac OS 9 app, you need to do the following. Probably the author of the web pages about these apps should update them to add information, but who knows whether if he'll be able to get the details correct? Very impressed! Is there any hope of a wiki guide for doing this? Amazing!ĮDIT: After a few tries, I was able to connect in both directions. Then restart.Īnd, Cat_7, yes: it works! I was able to connect SheepShaver on one Mac to SheepShaver on the other by the entering the IP address of the remote Mac in the File Sharing control panel. Then start up the Mac OS 9 app, enable the control panels and extensions listed in Cat_7's post, and move Chooser from the Apple Menu Items (disabled) folder into Apple Menu Items. Add Cat_7's "redir" line to the "prefs" file and also (I think) to "prefs original", under the slirp line. The way to make this work in the Mac OS 9 app is to go to Contents->Resources->Files->macOS.sheepvm and show package contents. To continue, whoever wrote those notes didn't get it right (he's made dozens of worse mistakes in the past, so I'm not surprised about this one). I assume this is definitive, and I will not be able to make your excellent suggestion work on my implementation. A software application for these 68000 Macs may be downloaded from the Mini vMac website for retrieval of a system's ROM image, along with a complete tutorial for locating an old Mac, retrieving the ROM and working with disk images.On re-reading the notes for the emendelson mac os9 ( ), on page 2 I find the sentence "The Mac OS 9 application contains a standard US-English Mac OS 9 installation, without features that can't be used in this system, such as filesharing." (emphasis mine). Macintosh system software is available from Apple's Support Downloads Website (see External links below).Īs mentioned, Mini vMac also requires a specific ROM image for the computer emulation desired. This board can also support ROM chips from other early Macintosh systems, but the publicly released versions of vMac only supported the Macintosh Plus. However, the Windows and Unix ports of vMac (not Mini vMac) support the Gemulator ROM board from Emulators Inc., which allows users to add genuine MacPlus ROM chips to their x86 machine via an ISA expansion slot. Macintosh ROM files are owned by Apple and cannot be legally distributed. VMac and Mini vMac require a Macintosh Plus ROM file and Macintosh system software to work. The precompiled versions available for download at Mini vMac's SourceForge project emulates a Macintosh Plus with 4 MiB of RAM. Due to complaints about the rarity of the original II, it also accepts Macintosh IIx and Macintosh SE/30 ROM files. ![]() Currently Mini vMac supports Macintosh 128K, 512K, 512Ke, Plus, SE and Classic, with active development for Macintosh II, Macintosh Portable and PowerBook 100 support. Mini vMac, vMac's spinoff, is still being maintained and developed by Paul C. Many of the developer e-mail addresses listed on the website are not currently working. ![]() Although the website is still in operation, most vMac development slowed to a halt in 1999, and no official releases have been made since. Some vMac ports include extra features such as CD-ROM support, basic serial port (SCC) support, Gemulator ROM board support, and various performance improvements. vMac and Mini vMac support CPU emulation from Motorola 68000 to 68040, display output, sound, floppy disk insert, HFV image files, and more. vMac and Mini vMac emulate a Macintosh Plus and can run Apple Macintosh System versions 1.1 to 7.5.5. Although vMac has been abandoned, Mini vMac, an improved spinoff of vMac, is still actively developed. VMac is an open source emulator for Mac OS on Windows, DOS, OS/2, NeXTSTEP, Linux, Unix, and other platforms. VMac 0.1.9 running System 1.1 on System 7.5
