2024.03.09

A modified fork of Mini vMac that works with BlueSCSI images and other enhancements.

Known Issues

• If you get a Divide by Zero error on startup switch the emulation speed to 1x (Control-S-Z) - After you are past the error you can switch back to faster emulation speeds. Fast emulator speeds and AppleTalk don't seem to mix!
• Fixed - Linux arch was incorrectly set to ARM - Binaries updated. #3

What's Changed

• Builds Universal binary for macOS - Thanks @egath
• Add support for TashTalk over LocalTalk UDP
• Fix issue with windows build and LocalTalk UDP

With the LocalTalk UDP + a TashTalk you can now join in #GlobalTalk from a minivmac.
