Does that mean there's no point me creating the autostart CD?

Is it 68k? I would set up a PPC emulator but I only have a 68k copy of the OS.

Can you set up both? even if you can't configure the PPC one it might work...

Not sure what you mean. I don't have a PPC version of the OS to set this up. I can install the 68k version of OS 8 and try to use it to create an autostart CD with the PPC version of that software, but I have no idea if it will work.

Sorry... I mean: make one as you would with the 68k program.. make the ISO... and then replace the 68 exe with the PPC one and make an ISO ... one of those has to work :-D

I've found a 68k VNC server which runs without extensions. It complains that performance will suffer but it runs. Unfortunately I can't access the emulated Mac's network from my MacBook to test it, as it's on a different subnet (although it can get to the Internet...) Any ideas?

I'm not even sure the VNC server is working. I downloaded a 68k VNC viewer and pointed it at localhost, and it just sat there. It actually appears to have hung the emulator.
