Basilisk ii

[mloret]

Can someone tell me when I boot from some of my OS 7.x images, “This PC” shows up in Basilisk II and it doesn’t show up when I boot from other 7.x images. Do some have something installed or enabled that the others don’t? Help?

“This PC” shows up in Basilisk II

I think at one point a saved network server was set to mount on boot. Which only means that a check box was check in the chooser> AppleShare on a specific server's> Sharepoint. So if it no longer exists on the Network, your (emulated) Mac booting will sit there for a while and then timeout and continue booting. There is a way to clear all saved servers somehow but I cannot recall how.

BTW this has nothing to do with Basilisk II because that would happen if you booted a Mac with those disks too.

“This PC” shows up in Basilisk II

In later Macintosh OSs, Apple added the ability to support foreign volumes. Basilisk II takes advantage of this, by adding to ability to directly access your PC drives. For example, you can download a .sit file to your host computer, and then access that file from your emulated Mac in Basilisk II.

Earlier Mac OSs did not provide the hooks to allow Basilisk to do this.

Oh, I guess I misunderstood this issue. Forget what I said before.

Even when I select the checkbox in the gui, sometimes I see “This PC” and sometimes I don’t depending on the disk image I use. Any idea what’s different between the images? I’m thinking it’s something that I haven’t enabled or added to the disk image/OS that’s not working…

It's called the File System Manager. 7.5 has it built in. 7.1 and before do not but I think from 7.0+ you can install it as an extension.

Hmm this image that I booted was running 7.5.5. Its the image I use on my SE/30.
