15   Overview
16   --------
17  
18 < Basilisk II is a free, portable, Open Source 68k Mac emulator. It requires
19 < a copy of a Mac ROM and a copy of MacOS to run. Basilisk II is freeware and
20 < distributed under the GNU General Public License.
18 > Basilisk II is an Open Source 68k Macintosh emulator. That is, it enables
19 > you to run 68k MacOS software on you computer, even if you are using a
20 > different operating system. However, you still need a copy of MacOS and
21 > a Macintosh ROM image to use Basilisk II.
22  
23   Basilisk II has currently been ported to the following systems:
24    - BeOS R4 (PowerPC and x86)
25 <  - Unix (tested under Linux, Solaris 2.5, FreeBSD 3.x and IRIX 6.5)
25 >  - Unix (tested under Linux, Solaris 2.x, FreeBSD 3.x, NetBSD 1.4.x and
26 >    IRIX 6.5)
27    - AmigaOS 3.x
28    - Windows NT 4.0 (mostly works under Windows 95/98, too)
29  
# Line 35 | Line 36 | Some features of Basilisk II:
36    - Floppy disk driver (only 1.44MB disks supported)
37    - Driver for HFS partitions and hardfiles
38    - CD-ROM driver with basic audio functions
39 +  - Easy file exchange with the host OS via a "Host Directory Tree" icon
40 +    on the Mac desktop
41    - Ethernet driver
42    - Serial drivers
43    - SCSI Manager (old-style) emulation
44    - Emulates extended ADB keyboard and 3-button mouse
45 <  - Uses UAE 68k emulation or (under AmigaOS) real 68k processor
45 >  - Uses UAE 68k emulation or (under AmigaOS and NetBSD/m68k) real 68k

48   The emulator is not yet complete. See the file "TODO" for a list of
49   unimplemented stuff.
# Line 90 | Line 94 | disk <volume description>
94    This item describes one MacOS volume to be mounted by Basilisk II.
95    There can be multiple "disk" lines in the preferences file. Basilisk II
96    can handle hardfiles (byte-per-byte images of HFS volumes in a file on
97 <  the host system) as well as HFS partitions on hard disks etc. (but Basilisk
98 <  II doesn't know about MacOS partition tables; it relies on the host OS to
99 <  handle this). The "volume description" is either the pathname of a hardfile
100 <  or a platform-dependant description of an HFS partition or drive. If the
101 <  volume description starts with an asterisk ("*"), the volume is write
102 <  protected for MacOS (and the "*" is discarded).

100 >  description of an HFS partition or drive. If the volume description is
101 >  prefixed by an asterisk ("*"), the volume is write protected for MacOS.

103 >  Basilisk II can also handle some types of Mac "disk image" files directly,
104 >  as long as they are uncompressed and unencoded.
105  
106    BeOS:
107      To specify an HFS partition, simply specify its path (e.g.
108 <    "/dev/disk/scsi/0/1/0/0_3"). If you don't specify any volume, Basilisk II
108 >    "/dev/disk/scsi/0/1/0/0_3"). If you don't specify any volumes, Basilisk II
109      will search for and use all available HFS partitions.
110  
111    Unix:
112 <    To specify an HFS partition, simply specify its path (e.g.
113 <    "/dev/sda5").
112 >    To specify an HFS partition, simply specify its path (e.g. "/dev/sda5").
113 >    If you want to access a MacOS-partitioned hard disk or removable volume
114 >    (Jaz, Zip etc.) and your operating system doesn't understand MacOS
115 >    partition tables, you can specify the block device name (e.g. "/dev/sda")
116 >    to access the first HFS partition on the device. Under Linux, if you
117 >    don't specify any volumes, Basilisk II will search /etc/fstab for
118 >    unmounted HFS partitions and use these.
119  
120    AmigaOS:
121      Partitions/drives are specified in the following format:
# Line 137 | Line 148 | cdrom <CD-ROM drive description>
148    installed CD-ROM drives. The format of the "CD-ROM drive description"
149    is the same as that of "disk" lines.
150  
151 + extfs <direcory path>
152 +
153 +  This item specifies the root directory for the "Host Directory Tree"
154 +  file system (the "Unix/BeOS/Amiga/..." icon on the Finder desktop).
155 +  All objects contained in that directory are accessible by Mac applications.
156 +
157 +  This feature is only available when File System Manager V1.2 or later
158 +  is installed on the Mac side. FSM 1.2 is built-in beginning with MacOS 7.6
159 +  and can be installed as a system extension (downloadable from Apple, look
160 +  for the FSM SDK in the developer section) for earlier MacOS versions.

200  
201    BeOS:
202      The "video mode" is one of the following:
# Line 194 | Line 216 | screen <video mode>
216    Unix:
217      The "video mode" is one of the following:
218        win/<width>/<height>
219 <        Color display in an X11 window of the given size. The color depth
220 <        (8/15/24 bit) depends on the depth of the underlying X11 screen.

227          (8/15/24 bit) depends on the depth of the underlying X11 screen.
228          "width" and "height" specify the maximum width/height to use.
229 <        Saying "dga/0/0" means "complete screen". For DGA to work, Basilisk II
230 <        must be compiled with DGA support enabled (selectable in the configure

237 >        tell you what your frame buffer name is).
238  
239    AmigaOS:
240      The "video mode" is one of the following:
# Line 215 | Line 246 | screen <video mode>
246          15-bit truecolor display in a Picasso96 PIP. This requires
247          Picasso96 as well as a PIP-capable graphics card (e.g. Picasso IV).
248        scr/<hexadecimal mode ID>
249 <        8/15/24-bit fullscreen display on a Picasso96 screen with the given
250 <        mode ID. This requires Picasso96. For 15 and 24 bit, the frame buffer
251 <        format must be QuickDraw-compatible (big-endian, xRGB 1:5:5:5 or
252 <        xRGB 8:8:8:8). The screen size will be the default size for that
253 <        mode ID.

253 >        the default size for that mode ID.
254  
255    Windows:
256      The "video mode" is one of the following:
# Line 303 | Line 334 | ether <ethernet card description>
334    is not available and this setting is ignored. The "ethernet card description"
335    is a platform-dependant description of an ethernet card.
336  
337 +  General note: To use TCP/IP from MacOS, you should assign a different IP
338 +  address to the MacOS (entered into the MacOS TCP/IP (or MacTCP) control
339 +  panel). Otherwise there will be confusion about which operating system will
340 +  handle incoming packets.
341 +
342    BeOS:
343      It doesn't matter what you give as "ethernet card description", Basilisk II
344      will always use the first Ethernet card it finds as long an an "ether"
345 <    line exists (e.g. say "ether yes"). As Basilisk II requires the sheep_net
346 <    net server add-on from SheepShaver, you can only use Ethernet on PowerPC
347 <    machines.
345 >    line exists (e.g. say "ether yes"). Using Ethernet requires the "sheep_net"
346 >    Net Server add-on to be installed. The first time you start Basilisk II
347 >    with Ethernet enabled you will be asked whether it's OK to make the
348 >    necessary changes to your BeOS network configuration to enable sheep_net.
349  
350    Linux:
351      The "ethernet card description" is the name of an Ethernet interface.
352      There are two approaches to networking with Basilisk II:
353 <      1. Direct access to an Ethernet card via the "sheep_net" driver.
354 <         In this case, the "ethernet card description" must be the name
355 <         of a real Ethernet card, e.g. "eth0". It also requires the "sheep_net"
356 <         driver to be installed and accessible. This approach will allow you
357 <         to run all networking protocols under MacOS (TCP/IP, AppleTalk, IPX
358 <         etc.) but there is no connection between Linux networking and MacOS
359 <         networking. MacOS will only be able to talk to other machines on
360 <         the Ethernet, but not to other networks that your Linux box routes
361 <         (e.g. a second Ethernet or a PPP connection to the Internet).
353 >
354 >      1. Direct access to an Ethernet card via the "sheep_net" kernel module.
355 >         The "ethernet card description" must be the name of a real Ethernet
356 >         card, e.g. "eth0".
357 >
358 >         The sheep_net module is included in the Basilisk II source
359 >         distribution in the directory "src/Unix/Linux/NetDriver". You have
360 >         to compile and install the module yourself:
361 >
362 >           $ su
363 >           [enter root password]
364 >           # make
365 >           # make dev
366 >           [this will create a /dev/sheep_net device node; you should give
367 >            appropriate access rights to the user(s) running Basilisk II]
368 >           # insmod sheep_net.o
369 >
370 >         If you copy the sheep_net.o module to a place where it can be found
371 >         by the kernel module loader ("/lib/modules/<version>/kernel/drivers/net"
372 >         for 2.4 kernels) and add the line
373 >
374 >           alias char-major-10-198 sheep_net
375 >
376 >         to "/etc/modules.conf", the kernel should be able to load the module

385 >
386        2. Putting Basilisk II on a virtual Ethernet via the "ethertap" device.
387           In this case, the "ethernet card description" must be the name
388           of an ethertap interface, e.g. "tap0". It also requires that you
389 <         configure your kernel to enable routing and the ethertap device:
389 >         configure your kernel to enable routing and ethertap support:
390           under "Networking options", enable "Kernel/User netlink socket" and
391           "Netlink device emulation", under "Network device support", activate
392 <         "Ethertap network tap". Next, see /usr/src/linux/Documentation/
393 <         networking/ethertap.txt for information on how to set up /dev/tap*
394 <         device nodes and activate the ethertap interface. Under MacOS,
395 <         select an IP address that is on the virtual network and set the
396 <         default gateway to the IP address of the ethertap interface. This
397 <         approach will let you access all networks that your Linux box has
398 <         access to (especially, if your Linux box has a dial-up Internet
399 <         connection and is configured for IP masquerading, you can access
400 <         the Internet from MacOS). The drawback is that you can only use
401 <         network protocols that Linux can route, so you have to install and
402 <         configure netatalk if you want to use AppleTalk.
392 >         "Ethertap network tap". You also have to modify drivers/net/ethertap.c
393 >         a bit before compiling the new kernel:

395 >          - insert "#define CONFIG_ETHERTAP_MC 1" near the top (after the

411 >           eth0 -seed -phase 2 -net 1 -addr 1.47 -zone "Ethernet"
412 >           tap0 -seed -phase 2 -net 2 -addr 2.47 -zone "Basilisknet"
413 >
414 >         (the "47" is an arbitrary node number). This will set up a zone
415 >         "Ethernet" (net 1) for the Ethernet and a zone "Basilisknet" (net 2)
416 >         for the internal network connection of the ethertap interface.
417 >         MacOS should automatically recognize the nets and zones upon startup.
418 >         If you are in an existing AppleTalk network, you should contact
419 >         your network administrator about the nets and zones you can use
420 >         (instead of the ones given in the example above).
421 >
422 >  FreeBSD:
423 >    The "ethertap" method described above also works under FreeBSD, but since
424 >    no-one has found the time to write a section for this manual, you're on
425 >    your own here...

427    AmigaOS:
428      You have to specify the name of the SANA-II Ethernet device and the device
# Line 347 | Line 431 | ether <ethernet card description>

436 + udptunnel <"true" or "false">
437 +
438 +  Setting this to "true" enables a special network mode in which all network
439 +  packets sent by MacOS are tunnelled over UDP using the host operating
440 +  system's native TCP/IP stack. This can only be used to connect computers
441 +  running Basilisk II (and not, for example, for connecting to the Internet
442 +  or an AppleShare server running on a real Mac), but it is probably the
443 +  easiest way to set up a network between two instances of Basilisk II
444 +  because the UDP tunnelling doesn't require any special kernel modules or
445 +  network add-ons. It relies on IP broadcasting, however, so its range is
446 +  limited. It should be fine though for doing a little file sharing or
447 +  playing Spectre.
448 +
449 + udpport <IP port number>

479    For refreshed graphics modes (usually window modes), this specifies
480    how many frames to skip after drawing one frame. Higher values make
481    the video display more responsive but require more processing power.
482 <  The default is "8".
482 >  The default is "8". Under Unix/X11, a value of "0" selects a "dynamic"

485  
486   modelid <MacOS model ID>
487  
488 <  Specifies the Model ID that Basilisk II should report to MacOS.
489 <  The default is "5" which corresponds to a Mac IIci. If you want to
490 <  run MacOS 8, you have to set this to "14" (Quadra 900). Other values
491 <  are not officially supported and may result in crashes. MacOS versions
492 <  earlier than 7.5 may only run with the Model ID set to "5". If you are

655   Usage
# Line 535 | Line 674 | Keyboard:
674    On PC-style keyboards, "Alt" is the Mac "Command" key, while the "Windows"
675    key is the Mac "Option" key.
676  
677 + Mouse:
678 +  Under Unix, pressing Ctrl-F5 while the Basilisk II window is active will
679 +  grab the mouse. This is needed for compatibility with some MacOS programs,
680 +  especially games such as flight simulators. Press Ctrl-F5 again to return
681 +  to normal mouse operation.
682 +
683   Floppy:
684    Basilisk II can only handle 1.44MB MFM floppies. Depending on your platform,
685 <  flopyy disk changes might not be detected automatically. Under Linux, press
685 >  floppy disk changes might not be detected automatically. Under Unix, press
686    Ctrl-F1 to mount a floppy. Under BeOS, select the appropriate "Mount" menu
687    item or press Ctrl-F1 to mount a floppy. Under Windows, press Ctrl-Shift-F11.
688  
689   HFS partitions:
690    Having HFS partitions mounted for read-write access under Basilisk II while
691    they are also mounted on the host OS will most likely result in volume

709    and BeOS/PPC versions of Basilisk II cannot do Mac Classic emulation.
710  
711 + Video resolution switching:
712 +  Run-time switching of video resolutions requires the Display Manager. This
713 +  is included in MacOS versions 7.6 and above, and available as a system
714 +  extension for earlier MacOS versions as a free download from ftp.apple.com
715 +  (look for "Display Software 2.x"). Click on "Options..." in the "Monitors"
716 +  control panel to select the resolution.

718   Sound output:
719    Sound output under Basilisk II requires Sound Manager 3.0 or later. This
720 <  is included starting with MacOS 7.5 and available as a system extension

724  
725   Ethernet:
726    Basilisk II supports all Ethernet protocols. Running a protocol under
727    Basilisk II that already runs within the host operating system on the same
728    network card (e.g. running MacTCP under Basilisk II on a BeOS machine) may
729    or may not work (generally, it should work, but some specific things like
730 <  "ping" may not). If you have problems with FTP, try setting your FTP client
730 >  "ping" may not). If you have problems with FTP, try setting the FTP client
731    to passive mode.
