To use the audio support, you will need: * MS-DOS based audio driver(s) that implements the Sound Blaster or Windows Sound System. To use SCSI devices, you will need: * MS-DOS based ASPI driver(s). * Third-party Mac SCSI driver software or CD driver software (for CD drives that are not compatible with AppleCD). To use the emulated CD support, you will need: * MSCDEX, properly installed for your CD drive. If you order the Mac OS, make sure your retailer knows that you want "Generic" System software; that is, you want Mac OS that can be installed on any Macintosh. This is the only kind that will work with FUSION. Do NOT use System software that comes with a particular Mac. It will NOT work. Do NOT use pre-made HardFiles from other Macintosh emulations, (except from the Amiga version of FUSION)... they will NOT work. These HardFiles (sometimes called, "filedisks" or "bootfiles") may appear to function to a degree, however, you will experience problems using them. Please do not ask for technical assistance if you are using one of these files.. you will be wasting our time and yours! 99.9% of all problems encountered with FUSION are due to improper or improperly installed system software. It is essential that you read the section of this documentation concerning system software installation. Mac OS 8 and newer requires a 1MB ROM image. Mac OS 7.6 and later will work with 512K or 1MB ROM images. _______________________________________________________________ 2) Setup Program (SETUP.EXE) Layout: ------ The setup program consists of GADGETS (text that is in a box having a black background is considered to be a "gadget"), and settings window. The settings window contains the information and controls that pertain to the selected gadget. (e.g.: when MEMORY is selected, you can choose how much memory to give to the emulation). Note that if you do not get a mouse pointer of some kind, you will need to install a DOS mouse driver (see above). The mouse is not necessary for the setup program, but you will need it to properly emulate the Mac. Quitting: -------- To quit the setup program, click in the upper left corner of the screen, or press Alt-X. Mouse Control: ------------- Clicking on any gadget will have some sort of an affect on the settings. Keyboard Control: ---------------- The setup program was designed to be used completely from the keyboard if necessary. Pressing CTRL-Up/Down keys will scroll through the list of gadgets. Pressing the TAB key will scroll through sub-options. Pressing the cursor right/left keys will change the parameters for that sub-option. Pressing the cursor up/down keys will scroll through entries. Pressing the space bar in an entry will toggle the entry (e.g.: Y/N). Pressing the RETURN key in any sub-window will cause an action based on the gadget (EXIT will return the previous menu). Pressing the ESC key in any sub-window will exit to the previous menu. File Requester (mouse control): ------------------------------ Clicking on any file name will cause the highlight bar to move to the selected file name. You can then click on the SELECT gadget to select the file. Double-clicking on a file name will immediately select the file. Click on the scroll bar or arrows to move the highlight bar up and down. Once the highlight bar reaches the top or bottom of the list, the list will scroll through the other file names. In a SAVE requester, clicking on the save name will invoke the keyboard input to change the name. Click on CANCEL to abort the file name selection. File Requester (keyboard control): --------------------------------- The cursor up/down keys will move the highlight bar up and down. Once the highlight bar reaches the top or bottom of the list, the list will scroll through the other file names. Pressing RETURN will select the file currently highlighted. In a SAVE requester, pressing TAB will toggle between selecting the file name from the list, or entering a new one in the space provided. - Setup Gadgets - ADVANCED: -------- Select the Machine ID you wish to use with the emulation. This setting is unnecessary for most applications, however, OS8.x requires the Machine ID be a Quadra series (700, 900, or 950 can be selected). If the Macintosh (the emulation), shows an error stating something like, "This software can not be used on this computer", try changing the Machine ID type. If you are using Macintosh system software older than 7.5.0, it may be necessary to set the Machine ID to be MacIIci. The Startup Sound can be turned off or set to one of four different schemes. The default is "1" (the standard startup sound). VIDEO: ----- Select the video driver(s) you wish to add to the emulation. ** Note: v1.0 of FUSION supports only 1 video driver, future versions will support up to 6. Selecting more than one will give you more than one video driver (which can be used for up to six monitors). Each refreshed driver requires a good chunk of memory, though, so only use more than one if you NEED to. You cannot use more than one VESA driver if you have already selected a "Direct" VESA driver. For "REF" (refreshed) drivers, "Setup" allows you to modify the FPS (frames/second). For slower computers, you may wish to lower this value to enhance the performance of the emulation. The default is 30 FPS. Future video drivers will have the ability to replace Apple's QuickDraw routines, giving native video. This ability is selected in "SETUP", as QDXL Support (Y/N). FLOPPY: ------ To select drive "A:" or "B:" or turn off the drive support, select the appropriate option under either "Internal 0" or "Internal 1". To change the Auto-Detect Time, select the number of seconds you want between head steps (or zero for off). (If you turn off Auto-Detect, you will need to press both Shift keys to indicate a floppy disk insertion.) 720K, 800K (psuedo-Mac), 1.44MB, and 1.68MB disks formats are supported. DEVICES: ------- To select a new HardFile, click the SELECT button. To remove a HardFile, click on the HardFile name in the list, then click the REMOVE button. The first HardFile in the list will always be the start-up HardFile (the one that will always be booted up when you start the emulation). To re-order the HardFiles, remove all of them except the one you want to start up from, then select the others again. Newly selected HardFiles wil...
