Warning
- I will not provide Mac Plus ROM images.
If you do not know why this is an issue, then don't run Mini vMac.
Note
- You must provide Mini vMac a Mac Plus ROM image.
- The Mini vMac activity has been crippled (relative to the "standard" version). As a result, it can access only one disk image.
- Mini vMac has no "breakout" support - any file created under emulation will be inaccessible from the XO (and vice-versa).
- This document assumes you are running Mini vMac on Mac OS X and have enabled Disk Utility's "hidden" features.
Requirements
- A Mac Plus ROM image
- Mini vMac
- Disk Utility
- gzip
Instructions
- Create a new disk image in Disk Utility
Make sure to use a read/write disk image that is large enough to contain all your software. - Convert the disk image
Mini vMac expects disk images to be NDIF read/write format. - Install whatever you like to the disk image
I recommend System 6.0.8 or System 7.0.1; System 7.5.3 is possible but overkill. - Compress and rename the disk image
gzip vMac.img && mv vMac.img.gz vMac.DSK.gz - Copy the disk image to MiniVMac.activity/vMac.DSK.gz
