Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: 1-6 months

Recommend Product: YES

The docs on the website indicate that this should be using a "slirp" connection for Ethernet. However, it does not appear that OSX has a slirp driver installed by default on 10.3 and 10.4, so this shows up blank and cannot be modified. It would be nice if the author addressed that issue.

An attempt to install slirp from darwinports.org resulted in some errors, and can't be installed. If I ever get this thing running I will report back.

Other than that, I've got Basilisk running apps like PageMaker, ClarisWorks, etc. Honestly, OS 7.5.3 runs fine. Once I installed 8.1, eye candy was introduced along with some PPC-only code so the Monitors & Sound control panel cannot be launched.

One thing I would really like to see addressed is CD-ROM recognition. Right now, you need to reboot with the CD mounted in order for it to show up in the emulator.

This comment may be old, but slirp seems to have the same problem when installing from darwinports. The src/ppp/pppdfcns.c file (and src/ppp.c, it turns out) needs to include time.h before utmp.h.
