Yikes! I've been thinking, since the Previous (NeXT) emulator works so well, what would it take to turn it into a Sun emulator? I haven't looked at the Previous source yet, but it seems like that would be a good starting point. > > > Trying to build MazeWar results in: > > > > ld: Undefined symbol > > ___bb_init_func > > DREG_SEG > > *** Error code 2 > > > > Not sure yet what to look for, but the source does say it was tested on > > SunOS 3.1 and 3.4.

At some point, I'll see if I can get my 3/60 booted, but I'm lacking the right SCSI cable, I think. I also don't know how well SCSI2SD will work emulating a streaming tape device, if at all. Does anyone have a 3/60 hard disk image of SunOS 3.4 or 3.5, by chance? Thanks, Kyle
