This will serve to make things slightly tidier, and also test if your copy of the System Folder was successful.

Whats even better than getting that old version of NT up and running is running an OS that shouldnt work; that wasnt intended to work on your hardware.

In this how-to, you be guided through the full process of setting up MacOS 7.5.3 and optionally the 7.5.5 update on Basilisk II, the freeware Mac II emulator designed by Christian Bauer, from scratch using only freeware, downloadable items.

The end result will be a fully working MacOS system.

Note that you may only download the ROM if you have an actual Macintosh.

Once you have downloaded all the files you will be using, follow the instructions below and you will soon be looking at the smiley Mac that either know and love, or will soon learn to love Install the applications for Windows, and create a directory to keep all the Apple files you will be using later.

This will decompress the file and create a new directory below the one in which NetworkAccessDisk7.5.sea.bin was stored.

This will be called Network Access, and contains The Network Access Disk Readme and a file called Network Access.Image.

It is the latter which we shall concern ourselves with.

Select to show all files in the dialogue at the base of the window.

Insert a blank 1.44Mb floppy disk into the disk drive you gave ticked under the Disk menu.

In the File Menu in the HFV Explorer Window, select the option to Format New Volume.

The Mac will see this as a 500Mb Hard Disk Partition named System7, whereas it is really a file, stored in D:system7.hfv.

Get the picture.

For example, if you name the file the same as the volume name in the emulated environment, it is easier to keep yourself right when opening volumes in HFV Explorer.).

Copy all these items to your Macintosh Disk volume (System7 in this example by dragging them to it).

It is a good idea to create folders from within HFV Explorer in the same way as you would in Windows Explorer, just to keep track of all the files.

Copy all the Macintosh files you will be using later on at this point as well.

Since Basilisk II emulates a a Macintosh system with a 68020, 30 or 40 Central Processing Unit, you will need a ROM file from one of these computers.

You are only allowed to use a ROM from the computer you legally own.

There are detailed instructions in the Basilisk Installation regarding dumping a rom from a real 68k Mac.

There is a Quadra ROM available from the Downloads Section for Quadra owners only, and is provided for convenience only.

Click browse at the ROM file path section to find your ROM file.

Information about the ROM will be displayed in the box at the base of the Window, if you Corrupt or Unsupported, then you have incorrectly obtained the ROM from your Macintosh.

I always like to set the Colors value to 16 bit or 32 bit though.

Set the Network Install Image to hive higher boot priority by putting it up the list.
