Executor and Mac HD
WOW!
I just downloaded the Executor demos for Linux and Dos a few days ago,
and I must say I'm impressed! I've always been a bit of a Mac wannabe,
but have never had the cash to support both Mac and IBM-clones... :)
I've got a bit of a burning question though. I have a Mac portable hard
drive (a Joule 1080 MB), and have put an old (bios-less Trantor T128)
SCSI card in my system (a P90 running Win95 and Linux). I'd like to get
Executor to read and run programs off my portable HD. It says this is
possible in the docs, but so far I haven't had any success. Under Win
95, the problem seems to be that Windows doesn't even recognize the SCSI
card, so of course, it doesn't see the HD. Under Linux (I'm more
hopeful about getting things going under Linux, really), I've got SCSI
support built into a 1.3.30 kernel, and Linux does indeed see the SCSI
card, but Executor doesn't read the drive. I've tried setting the
MacVolumes env. varialbe to "/dev/sda", and running as both root and as
a user. No luck. Then I tried setting /dev/sda to mount user,noauto
(like it says in the FAQ) and then setting the env. variable. This time
I noticed the HD light blink _once_ when Executor first started up. No
luck in finding the drive, however.
If anyone could help, I'd be really appreciative. If this works at all,
I plan to register immediately. You have no idea how hard I've been
looking for a Mac emulator/file converter...It's great to see something
like this make so much progress!
