At first run It might ask you to update something. Insert a Mac floppy and double-click HFVExplorer. Take only HFVExplorer from this download and put it in your Basilisk folder. You should have a copy of HFVExplorer if you downloaded the suggested Basilisk version.
I'm not sure whether HFVExplorer can read from USB floppy drives. It can also add files from Mac floppies directly to larger hard disk image files from which you can boot MacOS in Basilisk. HFVExplorer can create floppy disk images in your hard disk which you can add to the volumes list in the BasiliskGUI. The current version of Basilisk cannot read Mac floppies directly. Wow, where to begin when "Read The meticulously written Manual" isn't your thing.

I understand that there is the HFVExplorer tool which might help (I believe that all my Mac disks are HD so should be readable in that) but it wasn't clear how to do an installation via that into whatever the emulator is using as its primary disk drive (or do I need to set that up as well ?), particularly for the initial System - if HFVE is the right route I would be very grateful for guidance suitable for an idiot.Īny help gratefully received as RTFM didn't get me very far !

Is this just a configuration issue that I've failed to deal with, an issue that Basilisk II just can't handle (yet ) or something else I've completely failed to think of ? And does anyone have any idea of how to get round the problem ? (Even if I could get the System 7 installed by some other means I'd still want to install other floppy based Mac software I have via the USB floppy drive anyway so to anyone who was thinking of just sending me appropriate CD images thank you but I'd still need to sort this if possible). The underlying Windows machine (an AMD A8 dual core box running Windows 7 Home - 64bit) recognises the USB floppy drive and can access it, but obviously can't read the Mac disk, so it doesn't look like a hardware issue. Unfortunately, all my Windows machines use USB floppy disk drives (isn't progress a wonderful thing !) and when I try to boot the Mac window from a System 7 floppy after going through the GUI set up process (tried with the A drive - which should be the floppy drive - included in the mapping list and not and with the autodetect for new removable media on and off just in case) the emulator doesn't appear to find the USB floppy drive to boot from. Thank you to all those here who have contributed to the code base for Basilisk II ! Watch a YouTube video of II in a Mac in action.As my very old LCII has finally just died I thought I'd give an emulator a try instead. I haven't been able to locate any info on this product. The company also released a product called II-in-a-PC that allowed Apple II software to run on a PC.
II-in-a-Mac had key disk copy protection but could be installed on a hard drive or double-sided Mac floppy disk. Copy protected Apple II software does not work with the emulator. Graphics could be cut and pasted from Apple II programs into Macpaint documents. Text could be cut and pasted in either direction between the Mac and Apple II applications using the clipboard. Extra Mac memory was used to emulate the Applied Engineering Ramworks II card. Average performance was about half the speed of an Apple II.
Version 2.0 supported Apple IIe and IIc programs. " Emulator Lets Apple II Programs Run on a Mac " - This Infoworld article dated Jdiscusses version 2.0.

User Manual - 45pp (17mb high resolution PDF) The emulator was created by Computer Applications, Inc., based in Raleigh, North Carolina.
This was long before the appearance of the 1991 Apple IIe Card for the Mac LC. Initially it could run Apple II+ programs, but later evolved to include IIc and IIe software. The emulator ran on a 512K Mac and was released in November 1985. II in a Mac was the first Apple II emulator.
