- Hi there ShapeShifeter user,
-
- First I would like to emphasise that I have absolutley NO connection with the
- developement of ShapeShifter, I^m just a VERY IMPRESSED user who has noted
- that many people are having problems getting the Mac up & running.
-
- If you are reading this file then you have at least got the System 7 Desktop :).
- Now I will explain how I got my full System 7.0.1 up and running. This way is
- a complete Kludge - but at least it works without the need for a real Mac ;)
-
- 1. First you need two Amigas and a NULL-Modem-Cable linking them.
-
- 2. FTP to the Apple support site FTP.SUPPORT.APPLE.COM and then in the directory
- "pub/apple_sw_updates/US/Macintosh/System Software/System 7.0.1/"
- download the following to the machine NOT running ShapeShifter;
- i. Disk 1 of 6 - Install 1.hqx
- ii. Disk 2 of 6 - Install 2.hqx
- iii. Disk 3 of 6 - Tidbits.hqx
- iv. Disk 4 of 6 - Printing.hqx
- v. Disk 5 of 6 - Fonts.hqx
- vi. Disk 6 of 6 - Disk Tools.hqx
-
- 3. Run ZTerm on the Mac (Supplied with this SSBootDisk) and select Start Capture
- from the File Menu.
-
- 4. Run a Comm package on the Amiga with the System.hqx files on, and upload them to
- the Mac terminal. You may have to play with the Serial settings, I found 2400 baud
- very reliable - but it^s also _VERY_ slow....
-
- 5. Run BinHex on the Mac (also supplied) and un-hqx the files, this turns them into
- .sea (self-extracting-archives) files which you must then double click on to turn
- them into .image files.
-
- 6.Now select Control Panel from the Apple pull down menu and run Mount Image on
- your .image files, this will turn them in persuedo disks on your Hard Drive thus letting
- you install System 7.0.1 :)
-
- 7. And that should be it, if you have any more questions you can email me, although
- I^m using a Mac (courtesy of ShapeShifter) for the first time myself & may not be of
- great help ;)..........
