rom file placing

Hello,

You can put the rom file in your home directory and then point sheepshaver to the file in the memory/misc settings.

You can fill in the exact location and name, like
/home/"username"/"name of the rom file"

of course , you are aware of the case sensitivity...

Success,

He says he has the 8.6 CD ROM, he can use that, but yeah, he cannot use the Performa or Quadra ROMs, unless it was a ROM taken from a PPC Performa.
