Ok, got Minivmac to run...but i get that damn little blinkin' floppy disk smiling at me, 'cause i can't figure out how to extract the boot images from the .sea.bin files, i got the .bin file to extract to "SSW 6.0.8-800k Disk1of4.sea" (i think this is what i'm supposed to be using) but then i can't get anything out of .sea to get the image... i got some blank disk images "mfs1400k.DSK" which i think is the other file i need, and i have vMac.ROM so it works, but i can't figure out how to get an image to boot too...

Hi sashz...

Thanks for the blast from the past!  I've still got my original "fat mac" boxed up in my garage and it's so cool seeing Fools' Errand running on my Zaurus.

Thanks!

I have not an apple pc, so I cannot obtain the floppy images - the version you download isn't usable as is.
Can you attach macos floppies as needed by mini vmac?
It's legal, I do not need the rom

Hey this is great! Really fast too.

Any chance Basilisk II is in the pipeline?

Thanks
