Installing MacOS
System Disks at the ready?
Booting Mac OS from CD.
If you have a MAC system disk on CD then just boot with that, Macs have auto boot up from CD rom built in, handy for when there isn`t a system
installed on the hard drive.
Booting Mac OS via Hardfiles
First of all you need a bootable hardfile to get the mac going. On the links page, you will find reference to a small very basic 4mb
Mac OS, file. All this.does is boot a very basic OS onto the mac. nearly all features are missing. (This only applies to Fusion)
Once you have done that, download the System 7.5.3 Install file (British Install, 40mb) if you have a dial up internet connection, ask a friend who has broadband
to download the file or files for you and put it onto a CD.
Alternatively you may Download Other versions of MacOS the Apple Download site (See Links page), please ensure that
you download the correct country for you, MacOS 7.5.3 comes in roughly at around 16 disks or more. You won`t need to copy them to Actual Mac floppies,
they are just virtual disks, which when you click on the first in the series of disks, it brings them all together into a 40mb or so Install disk.
| Tip: Beware about downloaded mac files, via
another platform, as Macs are really fussy about downloaded files. (It`s all to do with resource forks).

ShapeShifter/Basilisk II
If you are using Basilisk or the older Shapeshifter, Look at CU Amiga CD 21 as it contains a whole suite of mac hardfiles specific to Shapeshiter and most
likely Basilisk Alternatively, the files can be downloaded as well from the same place as the British Fusion Hardfiles.
(See Links page)
| Tip: When installing Mac
OS under Amiga Emulation, Do not choose Easy install, instead select custom, and select "Install for any Mac" or "Universal
Mac". Whilst you are ticking boxes, ensure that under "Extensions", you remove Arose. and any PowerPC Extensions mentioned
therein and also within Control panel. If the mac crashes after boot up. Re-boot, wait until mac disk icon appears then immediately
press shift, before the Mac dialogue box opens, this will disable the extensions on boot up.
