   - A **compatible ROM** file.  Basilisk II will **not run** without a compatible ROM file. If BasiliskII does not find a compatible ROM file, it will immediately quit on launch. It may be difficult to get ahold of a compatible ROM file as distributing bare ROM files violates Apple license agreements.  ROM files from Quadra and Performa machines work best.  Google “redundant robot sheepshaver” for downloads.   - A **compatible ROM** file.  Basilisk II will **not run** without a compatible ROM file.

   - A **folder shared between OSX and BasiliskII**.  From within BasiliskII you will have access to a folder on the Mac OS X side. That folder will appear on the BasiliskII desktop as a disk named “Unix”. Files copied or saved in BasiliskII to the “Unix” disk will appear in the shared folder on the Mac OS X side and files placed in the shared folder on the Mac OS X side will appear in the “Unix” disk in BasiliskII. Before you start configuring BasiliskII, create a folder that can serve as shared folder. The folder can be anywhere it is convenient for you and it can have any name you like. **However**, this manual assumes that a shared folder in the BasiliskII folder called “Shared” is available.  Prepare for installation of MacOS by creating the Shared folder in your BasiliskII folder.  Then download the [[http://www.emaculation.com/basilisk/os753/|19 installer parts for System 7.5.3]] from Apple and place them in the folder. \\ Take a look at the file names. If the first is named with a ”.smi” extension and the others with a ”.part” extension, you can skip the next step of double-clicking all files individually. Double-clicking the files will unpack them, leaving you with the double amount of files in the folder. When finished, remove the files not named with the ".smi" or ".part" extensions.    - A **folder shared between OSX and BasiliskII**.  From within BasiliskII you will have access to a folder on the Mac OS X side.
