CD-ROM in ShapeShifter
« on: May 04, 2006, 03:15:48 PM »
My copy of MacOS 8 arrived today and I was hoping to install it in ShapeShifter. I installed the included empcd.device and mounted it. When I added it as a DeviceDisk in ShapeShifter, my CD-ROM spun up and then I got an error that the disk was not a DOS disk. I ignored it, and the sector information was populated in ShapeShifter prefs. I launched the emulator, and once OS 7.5 had booted I got an error in MacOS saying that the disk had to be initialised. It's not the disk, because I successfully installed the OS under Basilisk on Windows.

What can I do?

Ok, I'll try using the scsi device directly. The reason I didn't do this before is because the ShapeShifter manual says that in order to do this you have to install a driver for the CD-ROM drive. Failing this, I'll try Ilwrath's idea of using CD0 as a hard drive. Alternatively, if use the Mac handler to mount my Mac hardfile as an Amiga volume, can I just copy the contents of the CD in to that?

I added the CD-ROM as a SCSI device in ShapeShifter and it's working now. Thanks!
