Hi, thank you for replying! I'm trying to transfer using file sharing on both machines- I've had this work with other virtual mac os's- namely OSX 10.4 & OS9 ( With Sonoma installed on my host machine). Internet connection works on Leopard, but I haven't been able to successfully initiate file ...

Thanks for keeping going on this I have to admit I haven't looked at it much myself since 2016.

Ah, you have -boot d, which boots from media=cdrom. You need -boot c to boot from media=disk. The screamer doesn't work with -m 1024 or more, so set the amount of memory to something less. The command line could be: qemu-system-ppc-screamer.exe ^ -L pc-bios ^ -M mac99 ^ -m 512 ^ -cpu G4 ^ -display ...

Personally, I use 256MB RAM right through OS X 10.4; but I've had no difficulty running OS X 10.5 with 1024MB RAM on Screamer?

I was joking as I fixed that a few days ago after the initial report ;-) "A/UX version 1.x is based on System 6.0.4. Version 2.0 is based on System 6.0.5, while version 3 is based on System 7.0.1" (It might also be I 'm missing some of the intricacies of the English language here) No, I w...

Which error on the wiki? ;-) Best, Cat_7 "A/UX version 1.x is based on Mac OS 6.0, while versions 2 and 3 are based on Mac OS 7.0.1" Version 0.7 won't boot Mac OS, but if it did, would be running 6.0. Version 1.0 is essentially the same as 0.7, but doesn't core dump when you try to run a ...

Anyone still have this software? All links are dead and I’d like to play around with it. Which software? This is BII running on a Nokia Internet Tablet. NIT is a custom Linux distribution, and BII now has a pretty solid Linux build system. Are you specifically looking for the custom NIT build of BI...

So, I was using normal qemu-ppc and got MacOS X 10.0 installed, used it for a while but wanted sound, so I downloaded the screamer version moved the disk and tried starting up however it just outputs this to the command line: qemu-system-ppc-screamer.exe: could not load PowerPC bios 'openbios-ppc' ...

I believe Apple Audio Extension is for Multimedia Macs, to tie the A/V hardware into the regular Mac system. Since QEMU isn't emulating the A/V hardware, the extension serves no purpose. The race condition is likely on whether the alternate hardware structure is fully loaded prior to the extension l...

Odd; https://aux-penelope.com/hardware.htm indicates that the IIci should technically be able to boot. I was going to mention the same error on the wiki, but never got around to it :) Possibly the image you're using to boot 1.1.1 has been corrupted by running through Shoebill, which has its own cust...

And THAT is a great find, EMendelson! Since you're the local AppleScript wizard, any chance you could write up a droplet that recognizes different AppleDouble formats and can automagically combine them? EDIT: Revised because the AppleScript app now lets you drop a file on it. Well, nothing like a c...

Those messages suggest that the boot disk you're using isn't a full install of the retail Mac OS 9.0.4 -- it's missing CarbonLib and InterfaceLib -- which will be in the System Folder of a full install of Mac OS 9. If you did something like copy and boot from the Mac OS 9 at RedundantRobot, you'd ru...

I've lost track, to be honest. There's the A/UX style (file [data] + %file [resource]), the OS X way (file [data] + ._file [resource]), the OS X Zip way (file [data] + __MACOSX/._file [resource]), and I can't remember what BII/SS shared folders and HFSExplorer do. Can anyone post a sample set of fi...

Before going further, I think I know what's the problem. I forgot to mention that I changed my user name a few days ago, a modification that was made in the Users & Groups section of the OS System preference . So, before, files were in User1 and now they are in User2 . Just recalled that the Sh...

Ronald, I runned the script and installed the new Sheepshaver build (25-02-24). It still does not work. It launches but quit immediatly. Any clue ? What happens if you open terminal.app, drag the Sheepshaver.app file onto the window, then change the end to Sheepshaver.app/Contents/MacOS/SheepShaver...

And THAT is a great find, EMendelson! Since you're the local AppleScript wizard, any chance you could write up a droplet that recognizes different AppleDouble formats and can automagically combine them? Hmmm... that should be possible - Test for the filenames and act accordingly. I know nothing abo...

Ha! A lot of geeky old stuff on that page. I grabbed the various versions of Mail Drop to add to my small group of ancient email clients. But what I would REALLY like to find -- probably an impossibility -- are some old web browsers which just not only still launch in Mac OS 9.2.2 or earlier, but w...

Excellent find! And here is the full information page - it turns out that the app is scriptable: https://web.archive.org/web/20150309103241/http://carl-bell.baylor.edu/ReadMeFiles/DecodeAppleFile.html And here's a page of other stuff that may be useful too: https://web.archive.org/web/2015030910115...

What's the secret for converting floppy disks to HD images? Both Shoebill and QEMU-system-m68k lack floppy support, and the non-mac floppy images appear to be unrecognizeable on macOS and Linux. Do I just create a blank HD image and then dd the floppy image to the A/UX partition? And use a CD image ...

See this about A/UX 1.1.1 specifically: https://fsck.technology/documentation/Apple/Product%20Data%20%28Information%20Exchange%29%20-%201990/aux_/apple-aux-1.1-8908.pdf AppleTalk® for A/UX Version 2.0 (included with A/UX Version 1.1.1) -- although it only talks about printers, not file sharing. NFS...

I finished an install of A/UX 2.0.1 onto a BlueSCSI disk image and booted into to it. A/UX 3.0.1 was done about a week ago. Still need to fight A/UX 1.1.1, it doesn't want to work right and KPs when switching to A/UX. I'll try some more this weekend: followed Penelope's instructions to the letter. ...

Adespoton, thank you very much for this! So there has actually been a little known solution to this problem for a number of years now. I just downloaded both files, and I am trying to figure out how to use Decode Applefile 1.1. I read the developers ReadMe file, but I am stilll a little confused, r...

Quietly moved to Sonoma ... and today I realized that SheepShaver does not launch. I am sure athat one of you can help. What is the way out of this problem ? Where did you move from? There have been a bunch of security updates slowly trickled out. There have also been changes to SheepShaver.app its...

...and Macintosh Garden delivered the goods: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/decode-applefile-v11 - There's an app for that

Has anyone ever found a solution to this problem? So many years have gone by, and yet it still persists. There are certain files I want to add to my BBS in SheepShaver, but I can't, because of this AppleDoubles issue. I was hopeful that the DropStuff/Stuffit Expander solution would work, but as has...
