Thanks for sharing your findings about BII-142!
That solves the question why everything worked for me with a PC upgraded from W7 to W10, but not with a clean W10 installation. My guess was a compatibility framework too, but you pointed out things clearly.
For mounting toast and iso from inside the emulator
http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/virtual ... cd-utility is the one. Mounting bin/cue is not possible as far as I know.
That utility may not work depending on the Macintosh you are emulating...there is an easier, yet a little more two-step way to do it in Windows 10 64bit. Especially if you are running System 7.5.3 or installing from the Apple Legacy Recovery Disc.
It retains the aforementioned ISO Image compatibility:
1. Open the Basilisk II 142 GUI, go to CD-ROM, select your prefered CD-ROM drive as the CD-ROM...click OK to exit the GUI.
2. Go to the CD-ROM image...be it ISO, BIN/CUE (Untested), TOAST, or IMG file extension formats...hold left shift on the keyboard and right click on the CD-ROM image file...select "Copy as path".
3. Open the file "BasiliskII_prefs" with Word Pad...enable the word wrap view to go by the size of the ruler (though honestly it may not matter) and after the lines for your bootable hard disk image you will find "cdrom" with your PC's CD-ROM drive letter next to it....Paste over the drive letter (and its colon) and delete the quotes around the drive path you just pasted in.
4. Open up Basilisk II 142's GUI and go to the CD-ROM section..if you see it there with its path, you are good to go...press "Run". If you want to use a bootable CD-ROM image, all you have to do is go to Basilisk II's "General" tab and switch The Bootdriver option from "Boot from first bootable volume" to "Boot from the emulated CD-ROM"...aand boom..you can now use the Apple Legacy Recovery Disc...or any other bootable CD-ROM image that will run on a 68k Mac....
