![]() ![]() All you need to do is to boot up the correct Mini vMac emulator version that supports color (e.g. I wanted to run some old 68000 programs on OS X, but as luck would have it, OS X 10.5 doesn’t support the classical environment, and the 10.4 discs that I have won’t boot on a G5. Mini vMac II for OS X (PPC) Emulators in Emulators. For those of you who would like to take a trip down memory lane and play around with the old operating system though, you are in luck if you have an Android device. Nowadays such an operating system wouldn’t be bearable however, because of what we are used to with. The operating the Macintosh Plus ran was sophisticated at the time, and served its purpose. It had a starting price tag of $2599 and came with 1MB of RAM and an SCSI port. 1.44MB floppy disk drives, and ZIP drives, which can then be used directly on vintage Macs.For those of you who haven’t studied your Apple history, the was the third model in the Macintosh line that was initially released on January 16th, 1986. Both have the advantage of accessing real HFS volumes via USB ports, i.e. Basilisk II also offers similar features, but in my experience is much more difficult to set up, is quite a bit more buggy and hasn't been updated in quite a while. While Sheepshaver is buggy, it does allow more versatility than Mini vMac at the moment. I also use it, running OS 8.1 to open HFS+ images created under Snow Leoapard, into which I have copied compressed archive files, and copy the contents to HFS images which I then use with Mini vMac: the hands down the best vintage Mac emulator out there. ![]() ![]() This is how I set it up and use it to transfer files between Snow Leopard and an real 128K: Sheepshaver is my Mac transition emulator of choice, to keep everything within a Mac-like environment. Just hope OS X 10.7 doesn't drop HFS read too following their historical pattern in dropping support of MFS with OS 7.6 & 8. It's nice to know that works for now, until Zydeco's solution works more universally to write to HFS images. Indeed not very Mac-like, but I've never had a problem with cmd-line interfaces as long as I have the commands and especially the step-by-step instructions in front of me. ![]()
