- WOW!
-
- I just downloaded the Executor demos for Linux and Dos a few days ago,
- and I must say I'm impressed! I've always been a bit of a Mac wannabe,
- but have never had the cash to support both Mac and IBM-clones... :)
-
- I've got a bit of a burning question though. I have a Mac portable hard
- drive (a Joule 1080 MB), and have put an old (bios-less Trantor T128)
- SCSI card in my system (a P90 running Win95 and Linux). I'd like to get
- Executor to read and run programs off my portable HD. It says this is
- possible in the docs, but so far I haven't had any success. Under Win
- 95, the problem seems to be that Windows doesn't even recognize the SCSI
- card, so of course, it doesn't see the HD. Under Linux (I'm more
- hopeful about getting things going under Linux, really), I've got SCSI
- support built into a 1.3.30 kernel, and Linux does indeed see the SCSI
- card, but Executor doesn't read the drive. I've tried setting the
- MacVolumes env. varialbe to "/dev/sda", and running as both root and as
- a user. No luck. Then I tried setting /dev/sda to mount user,noauto
- (like it says in the FAQ) and then setting the env. variable. This time
- I noticed the HD light blink _once_ when Executor first started up. No
- luck in finding the drive, however.
-
- If anyone could help, I'd be really appreciative. If this works at all,
- I plan to register immediately. You have no idea how hard I've been
- looking for a Mac emulator/file converter...It's great to see something
- like this make so much progress!
