Original QuestionīasiliskII and SheepShaver can't open quadra650.rom I have reproduced the question and answer below - hopefully it could be useful, in case any stumbling blocks are encountered. I have just spent the last hour trying to find/recover it, after the OP, who asked the question, has subsequently deleted the question. I actually answered a Quadra 650 emulation related question, a while back, although it was for Windows, on SuperUser.
SHEEPSHAVER CANNOT OPEN ROM FILE HOW TO
I don't know how to use that with SheepShaver. Something else of interest is that I did download a rom from somewhere for OS 8.6, but in the process of copying files from the mac I noticed that there was a rom in the system folder. I'm not sure what that means or if it even applies to OS 8.6 (the post is about OS 9).

SHEEPSHAVER CANNOT OPEN ROM FILE DRIVERS
When one selected an OS9 System Folder as the Startup Disk in OS X and the hard disk does not have OS 9 Drivers installed, same situation will happen upon reboot and the only way to recover booting to OS X is to use Open Firmware console or a valid external OS 9 boot disk with latest version of Startup Disk control panel.

SHEEPSHAVER CANNOT OPEN ROM FILE MAC OS X
Mac OS X doesn't need any disk driver partition to work, but Classic OSes always need driver partitions in order to boot from non-floppies. Open Firmware has successfully loaded the Mac OS ROM, but the CD does not contain OS 9 drivers. When I try to start the emulation, I get met with a gray screen with a gray floppy disk icon with a blinking question mark, and it hangs there.įrom here I read that that floppy disk symbol means I followed the rest of the guide to the letter. I just copied everything from the mac onto a usb flash drive and then packed it all into an ISO.īy following the sheepshaver tutorial I made two volumes, one using the ISO I created and the other as a hard file named Mac OS 8_6.hfv. I'm not the most familiar with using bootable disk images (or OS 8.6 for that matter). I dug out the old IMac G3 with OS 8.6 today, and I'm trying to make a disk image of it so that I can boot it on my windows pc.
