Installing Aldus Intellidraw in Basilisk II
Posted: Thu Mar 22, 2018 4:39 am
I am trying to open some old Aldus Intellidraw files on my 64-bit Windows 10 PC. I have followed the instructions in this webpage (https://emaculation.com/doku.php/basilisk_ii_setup) and successfully set up Basilisk II. I completed every step in that guide, including updating it to System 7.5.5 and install "Aladdin Expander 5.5 Installer". Then I downloaded the installation file for Aldus Intellidraw from the webpage (https://www.macintoshrepository.org/364 ... lidraw-2-0). When I expand the sit file in Basilisk using Aladdin, a folder containing an "img" file appeared. Then I got stuck since I don't know how to open this img file.
I have searched on the internet and found this webpage (viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7499), where it says that ".img files might be added to the volumes list in the basilisk GUI." I then tried to copy this img file to Windows (using HFVExplorer) and add it in the volume list in the basilisk II setting (the window that pops up after double-clicking BasiliskIIGUI.exe). However, the first screen after the booting of the mac system says "This disk is unreadable by this Macintosh," which again failed to open this img file.
Any suggestions on how to proceed? Thanks!
