Can't boot Starterdisk and MacOS
Posted: Thu Nov 07, 2002 11:37 am
Hello,
I've downloaded Basillisk II from macemulation website and I have some problems with that, so I'd like to ask you for help. I've downloaded a Mac emulation Starter (I don't have MacOS CD-ROM or boot floppy, but I've downloaded 7.5.3 MacOS and 7.5.5 and 8.1 Upgrade) from the same site and also a 1MB ROM file which was recognized as 32-bit clean Mac II Rom from Quadra 605 or LC/Performa 475/575. In Basillisk GUI I've created 200MB hard disk file (New.HFV), so there are 3 items on the list of installed disks (Starterdisk.hfv - the topmost, New.HFV and C:\). Anyway, when I run GUI and hit "run", MacOS doesn't boot and I see only a white disk/blinking question mark icon. I have a machine with Pentium II 350 and 128 MB RAM and that stupid Windows 98. Please, could you help me and tell me what I do wrong? Thank you very much.
