Unixes on vMac

Post by CFran2 »

Has anyone tried installing Unixes on Mini vMac, if so which and if so can anyone share a disk image (provided that it's legal)?

You can't use linux because it needs an MMU, which basiliskii and sheepshaver don't emulate. No idea about other unixes or vmac though.

I tried A/UX, which would't install because it needs an MMU and SCSI.

I didn't actually do anything other then run it, but MacMinix works. It doesn't boot or replace Mac OS, but runs within Mac OS.

I found it a while ago, top on google.
