You should be able to just close the window. A CD image icon will appear on your desktop. Double-click it and start the installer contained in the folder that opens.įollow the prompts to install System 7.5 onto your hard drive. On the “Installer Parts” disk, start the installation of Mac OS 7.5 by double-clicking the first part called “System 7.5.3 01of19.smi”. Open the “Unix” hard drive and copy all 19 files into “Installer Parts.” On your desktop you’ll see icons for the DiskTools floppy (our startup disk), your new hard drive, the Installer Parts drive, and 'Unix” which is your shared folder within Linux. Do the same for the second, 100Mb disk, and name it Installer Parts. Give the first disk (your main hard drive image) an appropriate name and initialize it. Once it boots it will discover the hard drives we created and offer to initialize them. Check both boxes for “Don’t use CPU when idle” and Ignore Illegal Memory Access.“ (We will be changing these after we finish with DiskTools.) Also select your ROM file. Set the Mac Model to Quadra 900 and set the CPU type to 68040. I used 32, the largest amount that would fit in a Color Classic. Set the amount of memory available to BasiliskII. Leave the video type set to Window (for now) and set 30HZ and 640x480 resolution. This will be something like /home/pi/macemu/shared. Now, type the path to your shared folder (with the 19 System 7 installer parts in it) into the “Unix Root” field in the GUI. Now we’ll create one more disk with a size of 100mb. Set a size somewhere around 100mb-500mb depending on how much space you think you’ll need. Click create and select a folder to place the file in. Next we’ll create a file that will be used as the main hard drive for the Mac. In the Volumes tab, click Add and select the DiskTools image. Run BasiliskII and configure its options using the GUI. This will be the shared folder that will allow us to move files from Linux to the emulated Mac, and it will show up as a disk on the Mac desktop. Next, create a folder somewhere convenient on your Pi and place the installer parts into it. Place your ROM and the DiskTools image into the same folder as BasiliskII. The 19 installer parts files for System 7.5, provided by Apple at their website.A quick google search turns up many sources. Quadra & Performa machines are also good. Fortunately, all the classic Mac software we will need is freely available online. Our next task now that Basilisk II is installed is to create a hard disk image and install System 7.
