IT WORKED! After a few days of intensive study, going through the excellent and nearly fool-proof guidelines which your Forum is so generously providing, and carefully identifiying, collecting and checking all the bits and pieces of software, I just managed to actually emulate a decent Mac computer on my PC - like I was using up to 15 years ago (and like I am still having in working order on my physical desktop, next to my several PCs). Thanks for any suggestions, and please remember that you will be addressing an ignoramus I.e. How can I break out of this vicious circle?
#PERFORMA ROM BASILISK II DRIVERS#
From the Forum entries I understand that that error message is faulty and should be ignored, and that I need to put cdenable.sys into some specified drivers folders anyway - but then I need to obtain cdenable.sys in the first place - and according to Google, the Basilisk-II download package is the only available source for cdenable.sys. Is unavailable so that I cannot proceed any further. However, I cannot get past the first step, After unzipping the Basilisk-II download file, I am warned that If I understand correctly, this could be done with Basilisk-II. For that purpose I need to emulate the Mac Performa environment in Windows. Now exporting from Performa to Windows, and reading (from the 3.5”floppies that are my Performa’s only remaining working output) is, inevitably, becoming more and more of a problem, and I find the need to run these programs directly on my Windows PC.
These, to me, indispensible programs are only reason why I have kept my 20-years old Performa, and still use it. These programs have done excellent service to me, I still use them a few times a year, converting their TXT output to a Windows format, and then word-processing it further with MSWord.
#PERFORMA ROM BASILISK II SOFTWARE#
I am very inapt at deep software and hardware manipulations, and presumably too old to learn now.īy 1996 I had written a series of programs on Mac Performa, using Quickbasic and its compiler so that they could run on their own on my Mac Performa. I used to be a Mac user until about 2000, when for institutional reasons I migrated to Windows PC.
