Very short. To fix errors in a previous post.
Since compiling from the cvs on my machine sheepshaver now accepts both the rom image from the 7300 (4mb) and also the image found on the OS8.5 install cd (1.8mb) and Apples rom update found at apple or cnet versiontracker ect.
Of the lot the 8.5 file works fastest, there's little difference!
The biggest difference between the working roms is the happy mac icon on startup, the 8.5 and update roms display the blue screened icon while the 7300 rom shows the old white happy mac which we are all happy to see. :)
You will quickly see if the precompiled rpm will work or not. If sheepshaver boots from a cd and you see a cross through the applescript icon during the startup parade then you will most likely need to compile it yourself to suit your machine which is simple enough.
The fail list includes the rom image found on the 9.04(3.3mb) install cd which fails outright and a Biege G3(4mb) which goes as far as checking the floppy, then its just the mac black screen of death, possibly confused by scsi as we dont make grey.
Next todo is the ethernet, which will be the last of sheepshaver for linux.
