Which
Performa? Those ROMs may be too new for System 6.
To elaborate a bit on Cameron's point... My guess is that the Quadra 650 does not include
support for 24 bit
addressing and neither does the performa you used. This would
definitely be true of any Performa 63x, or later PowerPC Performas.
Right, exactly -- sorry if that wasn't clear.
Also, even if 24 bit addressing is supported in the
emulated, ROM
imaged machine, Apple dropped support for OS 6 somewhere along the
way in their hardware/firmware. I suspect that regardless of the 24
bit/32 bit issue, the Q650 will not run anything earlier than some
flavor of OS 7. I may be misremembering, but that's how I would
bet. You may want to check a website such as everymac.com, because
I believe it lists the OS's supported by each Mac model.
The Q650 definitely needs an enabler for 7.1 and (I think) 7.5. I think it's
directly supported by 7.6 but I'd have to check my support information.
