I've tried Mac-on-Mac, Basilisk II without success. Mostly I've been using SheepShaver since the beginning of this quest. With SheepShaver I've managed to install Mac OS 7.6.1, 8.6 and 9.0.4. I've played with the extensions and control panels and I don't know what else. But, still Folio Views causes the OSs to hang "forever".

It asks me if I would like to initialize it. Should I? or would that be a mistake? I know it'll erase whatever is on that disk, but it's called "untitled" and I don't know what it actually is or what it has.

If you are having trouble booting from a disc image created with MacOS X disc utility, it is because the drivers needed to boot in classic are not installed on the image by default. To solve this, after you create the disc image, use the MacOS X utility to "partition" the image and make sure you check the box that says "Install Mac OS 9 Disk Drivers". Then I just copied the files from the non-working image to the new one... then I blessed the system folder while it was mounted in SheepShaver (at this time running off the CD). OR you can just reinstall MacOS 9 on the new image from the CD. Hope this helps. I know this is a little late in coming, but this is for others finding this blog entry via google.

Mac OS 9.0.4 runs off the CD, so as soon as I try to eject the CD I get a message telling me I can't do this because the files needed to run the OS are on the CD. I visited another site that said I had to have a generic Mac OS 9 CD (could it be my iMac disk is machine-specific and not generic?). I also see that in Rich Trouton's article at the top of this page he used a disk image (macos9.dmg) for his volume in SS-GUI. I tried the same, but SS still wanted to run OS9 from the CD (even though I specified "any" under "Boot from"). Am I wasting my time? Should I hunt down a truly generic Mac OS 9 CD, or is there something I'm doing wrong (I'm a geologist after all, not a programmer)? I think all you folk are doing a great job sharing your ideas and experience over the 'net. The app I want to run is an excellent geological logging program (AppleCore) which is only available for MacOS9.

There are no dates on the page, so I don't know if this is old news or good news. DWM “There’s some weirdness with the Unix drive, where it won’t show some folders. Specifically, it doesn’t show the Mac OS 9 “Applications (Mac OS 9)” or the “System Folder” folders, which is quite bizarre”

Replace the folders with new ones. This behavior is erratic, I had different results even with reinstalling. Rebuilding the desktop might work too, I didn’t try that, To rebuild the Desktop hold down Option and Command while OS 9 is booting.

It seems to be OK on ethernet with other OS9 macs too but the links to volumes seem very fragile. You can see files for a time but then the link is broken when you try to access them. Any one got any answers to this? I have got Sheep Saver working quite well on an intel based apple. It seems to be OK on ethernet with other OS9 macs too but the links to volumes seem very fragile.

It that puts a preconfigured SheepShaver install (fully functioning with the roms etc) along with a Classic disk image in a folder named "MacOS9" in the applications folder of your startup disk. It has networking and a shared (OSX) volume with ZERO config. (it also gets around the problems with the basilisk/sheepshaver settings files being hidden in the top of the user home directory). It's got three versions, a minimal "pico" version (24meg download), mini (79meg) and full (250?). All but the pico have networking, quicktime, and support for almost all applications (except for some qd games).

This seems to lose resource forks meaning the applications won't work. Instead, use Appletalk networking or mount the Sheepshaver image directly in OS X (shut down sheepshaver first) and copy the applications into Sheepshaver using OS X. Another approach is using stuffit, which will preserve resource forks correctly. Bruckwine, don’t copy applications directly through the “Unix” file system in Sheepshaver.

Under the volume tab there is a create... button, and an add... one, which one should I use to create the disk image? and where should I create it? The last thing, does sheepshaver automatically install the OS in the volume that I created and do I have to format it during the installation? thank you very much for the help Marco could you please also tell me how to create the disk image for the OS9, or does sheepshaver creates it automatically.
