Got a Basilisk II issue for those of you who have more experience. Just to get up and running quickly (I'm short of hard drive space), I created a little 50 MB HFV file and loaded in the System Folder from the Mac OS 7.5 Network Access Disk. It boots OK, but there are some features I'm missing.
1) The GUI setup states that I can turn on a "My Computer" feature which allows me direct access to my PC's files. I turned it on, but the feature doesn't come up. Is there something I'm missing because of the version of the OS I'm using or because it's not a full OS install? Right now I have to use TransMac to move a file into the HFV file.
Your missing lots of little bits, 50mb is big enough for a custom install. theres a 10mb 7.5.3.img.bin file for a 7.5.3 install cd
2) Disk Copy 4.2 will run in the environment, but it won't directly read a floppy. I was able to get a Mac floppy to mount, but Disk Copy wouldn't have anything to do with it. The "Read Master Disk" option is greyed out. I was able to get Basilisk II to mount the floppy (without having to create an HFV image first), and I tried both drag/dropping it to the open Disk Copy 4.2 window and drag/dropping it to the Disk Copy icon. Nada.
Check your options in the B2 gui, never tried so I dont know.
Have you booted basilisk from a floppy yet?
Here's something I like called RawriteWin http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/rawwrite.htm works well for sending images of mac floppies to other pc users, don't know if anything will mount them on a mac.
Darren, you mentioned a Disk Copy 3.5. Would you send that to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (my binary drop box)? It might work better. In the meantime, I'm going to see what ShrinkWrap does (I have 3.0 and 3.5).
If I ever get mol running.
http://macfaq.org/software/macos.shtml#Q1.1.6 has some words about what I'm on about.
Shrinkwrap might work
Gregg, if you know someone with that Quadra 650 ROM, would you ask them to send it to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] The ROM I'm using is a Quadra 700/900 ROM, which Basilisk II says itself "This is the worst known 1 MB ROM".

Now would you explain why you must make a image to transfer part 3 of a segmented file. It would be much easier to just zip the file and send it. Then unzip it at the other end and copy it to disk 4 on the mac.
The info for segmented files is stored the first segment, the pieces will loose their icons but should still work.
