Hi Nicholas You can find the roms you seem to need on the net. Like most things it will take a bit of patience.

Sounds like you haven't told softmac to load from the floppy. IIRC virtual drives are treated as "floppies" so the internal pc floppy is not used by default, you can change this under options disk properties. >My question is WHERE in the world is another Macintosh Classic emu???

Why there is >well known emulator support for the older PLUS and not my CLASSIC > People write emulators. not companies thats why they are free Vmac was written to use the 128k rom from a plus. Simple BasiliskII emulates the next step and requires a 32bit clean rom which the classic is not one. Fusion, well I cant be bothered looking for you. Its really not that hard, be nice, ask a sensible question and you'll get some useful help. Seems you know why these programs dont work for you and just need a link to roms. Blaming the classic and the emulators wont help. Very strange way of asking. -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
