I got BasiliskII running using the 7.5.3 OS downloaded from apple's
website. I have a perverse fascination with emulators, and this had me
giggling with delight for hours. Got Netscape, and even Wolfenstein3D
running quite acceptably on a PII.
One thing I never managed to get working was the "sheepnet" network
drivers, rendering it pretty much useless. Anybody works out how to do
this, I'd be grateful for a mini-HOWTO. It requires something called
ethertap, which I noticed as an "experimental" option in some 2.2
kernels, but can't find it in 2.4.

I found a pre-emptive backup copy (the backup you have before
aquire a master copy) circulating on the net. They're not hard to find.
If I ever get around to getting the network drivers to work, I might
pick up a broken Mac from the Sally Army for $5 to make it
legal. Intellectual property is absurd.
I'd like to get this to work fully so I can tutor some people who have
to use Macs at work, without having another box taking up space in my
already cluttered lair. To that end, has anybody played with Darwin on
i386?
