Ok, we are now ready to start the proper how-to. Any mistake, on the other hand, is definitely my fault.

the guide below would not have been possible without Anna Wu‘s assistance (thanks a lot) and without the wonderful Mini vMac set up page. you can follow the same steps with MESS on Windows, on MacOSX or on Linux without a single change), this howto is definitely more complicate because files for Macintosh are not very happy to be used in Windows (nor in latest Mac OSX, fwiw), and therefore you will need to dirt your hands with file manipulation outside the emulator.ģ. howto was an easy and OS-independent guide (i.e. They represent the best way I have been able to find to set up MESS for this driver, but there might be easier ways: please, let me know if you find ways to simplify some of the necessary tasks below, and I will update my notes accordingly 🙂Īlso, I think the same instructions apply as well if you want to emulate later mac machines in MESS, but there might be shortcuts compared to what I have written here.Ģ. the following instructions are targeted on emulating a Macintosh Plus in MESS, only assuming you can use StuffIt 4.0.1 on the emulated macplus. Given that the bug has been fixed last October (thanks Arbee), I really wanted to give another chance to this old Apple system and the following impressions/instructions/remarks are the result :).ġ. Unfortunately, I had to give up due to some serious crash in MESS, when turning off the emulated machine after OS installation. My interest on the system first surfaced in Summer 2008, when I spent some days trying to figure out how to make this system work and run some good old Apple software. Do you know this machine? If not, time to fill the gap in your computer history preparation: pages at Wikipedia and at. This time I want to talk a bit about Macintosh Plus emulation in MESS.
