I'm thinking of creating a "Reference Machine" on a MacintoshPi-ed Pi 3B. Which has lots of old late-90s reference works like Encarta, World Book, Groliers Encyclopaedia, atlases, and various large educational CD-ROM titles.
To do so, I'd like to put them all on the Pi. Either installed or as mountable images.
But as far as I know, 7.5.5 only allows a maximum of 2GB per HD. So how would I get all the stuff readily available on the MacintoshPi? On a 32GB SD card? Would I have to create new disks somehow?
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
Then I copied the created volume to the SD card's /usr/share/macintoshpi/macos7 folder using scp.
I added this line near the top of /usr/share/macintoshpi/macos7/macos7.cfg
disk /usr/share/macintoshpi/macos7/1GBHD.dsk
When you start System 7 on the MacintoshPi again, it will ask you to format it. So that's how you add a disk.
But I found out that the macos7.cfg can mount most disk images (.cdr, .iso, .toast) as either disk or cdrom. This is useful, because many of these reference apps require the cd to be mounted. So the top of my config file reads something like this:
rom /usr/share/macintoshpi/macos7/Performa-630.ROM
disk /usr/share/macintoshpi/macos7/hdd.dsk
disk /usr/share/macintoshpi/macos7/games.dsk
disk /usr/share/macintoshpi/macos7/1GBHD.dsk
cdrom /usr/share/macintoshpi/macos7/Encarta95.toast
cdrom /usr/share/macintoshpi/macos7/EyewitnessScience.toast
cdrom /usr/share/macintoshpi/macos7/NewWayThingsWork.toast
cdrom /usr/share/macintoshpi/macos7/TheWayThingsWork.iso
