To see which media are emulated for this system: there are two floppy drives (вЂњ floppydisk1 (flop1)вЂќ & вЂњ floppydisk2 (flop2)вЂњ) and two hard disks (вЂњ harddisk1 (hard1)вЂќ & вЂњ harddisk2 (hard2)вЂњ)! good to know! Ok, we are now ready to start the proper how-to. Any mistake, on the other hand, is definitely my fault. the guide below would not have been possible without Anna WuвЂs assistance (thanks a lot) and without the wonderful Mini vMac set up page.

you can follow the same steps with MESS on Windows, on MacOSX or on Linux without a single change), this howto is definitely more complicate because files for Macintosh are not very happy to be used in Windows (nor in latest Mac OSX, fwiw), and therefore you will need to dirt your hands with file manipulation outside the emulator.ДЈ. howto was an easy and OS-independent guide (i.e.

They represent the best way I have been able to find to set up MESS for this driver, but there might be easier ways: please, let me know if you find ways to simplify some of the necessary tasks below, and I will update my notes accordingly рџ™‚ДЄlso, I think the same instructions apply as well if you want to emulate later mac machines in MESS, but there might be shortcuts compared to what I have written here.Дў. the following instructions are targeted on emulating a Macintosh Plus in MESS, only assuming you can use StuffIt 4.0.1 on the emulated macplus.
