I have not ported that feature since I have nothing to test right now.

Gwenole, not that I'd want to keep you from smashing all the other little bugs (including the AMD JIT bug) but would it be helpful to send you a MacOS formatted HDD with files on it (I have a 6gig drive somewhere I could spare) for this?

Anything else that you might need that would be a huge help?

How did you get a real mac hdd working in basiliskII? I've been trying to find a place to ask how to do it.

A real Mac HD will work for sure if it's SCSI and you have a SCSI card as I have done this before. It speeds things up bigtime when emulating, especially on a SMP system. (In Basilisk II)

As for IDE drives, it's hit and miss because support isn't always there. There have been reports with Basilisk II that some IDE drives work but sometimes they get corrupted. SCSI was the only tried tested and true. To work the best it needed to be setup on a real Mac so Windows wouldn't detect it at all and try and set it up.

That post has nothing to do with this topic.

I'm fed up of all the spam.
