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.
