I figured that I'd give it a try so that I could use some extra games on my FreeBSD system. I picked basiliskII since it allowed for more than 4MB of RAM and an OS version higher than 7.5.5. So I now have basiliskII installed, a ROM file, and a DiskCopy generated disk image with my G3's MacOS 8.5 system folder in it. I ran "BasiliskII" from the shell and a GTK-based preferences system popped up. I think that I configured it correctly, but apparently I've missed something. When I click on the "Start" button, the software makes a new window of the correct size (it seems to match the resolution picked in the preferences system) but that window is solid black. It never changes. It never even puts a floppy-disk/question-mark icon on the screen. (This is typical when a Mac comptuer can't find its OS.) Does anyone out there know what I'm missing? If this is an RTFM situation, please direct me to the correct "M" to "R". :) Thanks, Jaime To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
