Is this only when BasiliskII is running or also without BasiliskII running?chelim78 wrote:unable to suspend mac activity : temp. rises to 80°C, mac tries to read a CDR or DVD every about 30 s.
It is strange that BII cannot be launched by directly double-clicking its icon. Are you sure you try this on the application that is in the same folder with the BasiliskIIGUI application?BII starts only if I click "start" button on BIIGUI (I mean BII clicked from the dock, from applications Folder or from BasiliskII folder).
The GUI application is a port from a Linux application and does not behave like normal Mac applications. But double-clicking in the left column to browse and in the right column to finally select a file should work.Note that double clicking does not anything when trying to browse files in BIIGUI:Volumes:Add.
Yes, it does not quit by itself.When BII is started, BIIGUI window disappears but this app. does not quit. I have to quit from the dock.
BasiliskII uses a lot of CPU time. It is better to have it not run permanently, only launch it when needed and quit when done. Setting the window refresh rate to lower levels will reduce the CPU use, but cursor movements will become less smooth. Whether this is a problem depends in your use of BasiliskIIWhen running Mail + TextEdit + Firefox + a software with BII, I noticed that the % of process. used by WindowServer goes continuously up and down and up and down, and temp. and fan do the same. So I tried to reduce BIIGUY:Widow refresh rate from Dynamic to 30 hz. This caused some improvement. At 15 hz it was even better.
Not sure what you mean with OS 10.6 extensions. Maybe the fan problem is there rather than with BasiliskII.But the best of all is running BII without OS 10.6 extensions : fan runs at 1800 - 1900 rpm and I can keep Mail, TextEdit, Firefox (low intensive websites as wikipedia, dictionaries) all open together.
There are two ways to try:I have another question : is it possible to install in OS 753 disk a software from a set of floppy disks ? Do I have to declare those 9 volumes in BIIGUI:volumes ? Of course there is only one floppy disk at a time in the floppy driver.
1. Create disk images from all floppies and add those images all to the volumes list.
2. Make folders out of the floppies by option-dragging the icons of the mounted volumes and make sure the folders are together in the same location in BasiliskII.
Some installers will work with one or both methods. But installers that insist on ejecting a disk before inserting the next one will not work. I know of no workaround.
