I have BasiliskII installed via apt on Ubuntu. I've sucessfully read
and
installed the 6.0.8 system disks as downloaded from Apple's archive.
The
rom images I have and have tried are for a Quadra650 and a Performa.
BasiliskII doesn't like the Mac Plus rom. On boot, I get a complaint
that
this Mac is set for 32-bit addressing and that I should switch to
24-bit
addressing (since os6 doesn't do 32-bitness). Clicking "24-bit"
doesn't
work. Does anyone here know how to get this working?
As has been said, 040 ROMS are too new for System 6, as are most
Performa ROMs. If a Plus won't run, try to find a IIci to get ROM
dumps. System 6 runs on almost all II series Macs (not on IIvx/vi,
though- but those are rare). The IIci is quite common, which is why I
suggested it (also 32-bit-clean if you should want to run System 7)
(but you could use II, IIx, IIcx, SE/30, IIsi, IIfx also).
