Re: WMWare and Basilisk (was Re: Mac 512k/AT MORE)

Yes, I know it, and I note it in my mail when I talk about the (im)possibility of running it on PowerPC chips. I was only comparing its uses: the same as you can use Basilisk to run System 7 on a G5, you can use VMWare to run NT 4 or Windows 3.1 on a "new world" PC which would otherwise be inco

Eager to hear what happens. If the ZIP works, then you can easily partition your 6300 into smaller volumes, so no worries. On Jun 7, 2005, at 4:26 PM, Nat Hall wrote: So this was all starting to make sense until someone said the 4GB thing wasn't the problem. The hard drive in my 6300 is 4 gig

Hmmm ... A PC emulator running on a PC, that needs PC hardware? -- I don't get it. Actually, the 128k "Plus" ROMs eat into your 512k RAM the same way an INIT would, which is why they are not recommended for a 128k (the HD20 INIT won't even load on a 128k) -- it's worse actually because it's als

So this was all starting to make sense until someone said the 4GB thing wasn't the problem. The hard drive in my 6300 is 4 gigabytes, with 3.1 gigabytes free. That made sense and seemed logical from what you said originally as the cause of the trouble. Now I'm not so sure. I'm going to try

VMWare? Is that like Virtual PC? What hardware do you run it on, the G5? So unlike the OS9 emulation under OSX, the VMWare uses its own protocols outside the OSX environment (according to VMWare website, they don't support Mac OSX)? What System is the SE/30 running ... don't suppose it matters

Re: Mac 512k/AT MORE

I've been seeing similar compatibility issues. What I've done in the end is to run a copy of Windows NT v4 (with Services for Macintosh enabled) in a VMWare virtual machine. NT v4 supports clients right back to system 6 (unlike Windows 2000 which only supports System 8.5 and beyond) and so I can ta
