No Unix shared drive under Basilisk II w/El Capitan

Post by iluvmacs99 »

Seemingly now that Apple took down the System 7.5.3 installer, I used various boot image from various sites that claimed that it will work with Basilisk and while many did and spent close to 2 days (16 hours straight), not a single one allows me to see the Unix shared drive. I know the path is correct as I triple checked it. I have the installer disks in 19 parts but since I can't see the Unix drive, so I can't copy it to the Installer disk. Does anyone know where I can get the complete Disktools 8 that the installer document talks about from some other sources as I'm completely exhausted on my own efforts.

Thank you for your help.

By the way, SheepShaver was much easier to setup and it works flawlessly in less than 30 minutes. I just wonder why Basilisk is so damn difficult to almost impossible to get it to work.

Check point 3 to download a working floppy diskimage.

Or you could try the prebuilt System 7.5.5 system that I refer to here:
