Yes, this will fail on 68k machines except the Quadra 900 (and possibly similar Quadras). I apologise for not making this clearer -- I documented it poorly, then forgot about it myself.
The reason is that 8.1 introduces a required patch via the "gusd/gtbl/gpch" mechanism. I have narrowed down...
Ship your Cube to me and I'll sort it out. ;)
You can use one of the whole bootable .dsk files from TestImages.tmp, and mount it using Disk Copy (I think -- perhaps the type/creator needs to be set).
The .rdump files store resource fork data (in a format compatible with Apple's Rez utility)...

Anywhere that an interested hacker might browse the source?

The Classic Environment abstracts OS 9 way away from the hardware, so no joy there. Nanopico (of the MacOS9Lives forum) and I have been putting our heads together and working out the NewWorld boot process. Getting the PCI bridge and interrupt controller working would be the first steps, and then...
Hi folks,

I have written a Python script to take apart and put back together a Mac OS ROM file (a NewWorld Toolbox image -- tbxi). Just this evening I've gotten my...
