    O.K.

  • @Netcliff
    It works equally well using [Socket 7 VX] Epox P55-VA with a Standard PS/2 Mouse instead of a Microsoft Serial Mouse.

  • The Rhapsody DR1 Grail login screen.
    The best login screen Apple never had.




  • @jonirob I can't help but think that Windows Whistler login screen may have been based on this.
  • @jonirob I can't seem to get DR1 to work in 86Box. I'm using 2.07 with the configurations you recommended, and I'm using the DR2 drivers for EIDE and ATAPI.

    However, when I finish setting up drivers, setup panics, complaining about being unable to mount root. I don't understand what's gone wrong. Should I try formatting the hard disk image beforehand?

    In 86Box use the DR1 drivers with this configuration:

    Machine: [Socket 7 VX] Epox P55-VA
    CPU Type: Intel Pentium MMX 233
    Memory: 48 MB
    Display: [PCI] Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 (S3 ViRGE)
    Input: Standard PS/2 Mouse
    Sound: [ISA] Sound Blaster 16
    Hard Disk: IDE(0:0) 63 Sectors 16 Heads 2448 Cylinders
    Floppy Drive: 3.5" 1.44M
    CD-ROM: ATAPI (0:1) Speed 8x.

    Titan Configuration:

    Load the drivers by typing 7 (enter), 7 (enter), 1 (enter).
    This will load the EIDE and ATAPI Device Controller.
    When it's loaded you'll need to do it a second time.
    Then type 1 (enter), this will start the installation.
  • @jonirob Nope, still crashes.
  • Use these specs.
    RAM:128 MB
    Hard Drive:2 GB
    CPU:Any PowerPC or Intel CPU.
  • @Scratch137 you can also use PCem 12 to install DR1.

    @Scratch137 try changing the addresses, DMA settings and BIOS addresses at peripherals that conflict with the SCSI controller. I also recommend you to use the Adaptec AHA-154xB SCSI controller since it's easy to be found on the menu where you select which SCSI controller to use while installing the OS (option 2). Edit: The DMA has to be 5 and the Address has to be 0x330 for the SCSI adapter or else Rhapsody won't find it.
  • I managed to install dr2 on 86box although with only 640x480 in 256 color resolution being available. I also tried to install dr2 ppc on sheepshaver, but the installer stuck at the point where it can't find any valid volume for installation...
  • Guys, 86box works perfectly on the x86 version of Rhapsody using the configuration that the others users gives and I successfully install both DR1 and DR2 there

    Actually VirtualBox CAN run it very well. The only extra thing you need is a VirtualBox Video Driver for OPENSTEP and Rhapsody, available on GitHub(https://github.com/vcarosadev/VBoxVideo).
    1. Insert the install floppy and the CD.
    2. Boot and load two Intel PIIX drivers for hard drive and CDROM drive.
    3. Insert the VBoxVideo driver floppy, type 2 in the console and load the driver.
    4. Install Rhapsody as usual.
    5. When Rhapsody reboots, it will ask you to insert the video driver floppy twice. Do as it told.
  • @WinWhat SheepShaver cannot run Rhapsody. It runs Mac OS 8 - 9.0.4 (?)
  • @michaelyang You also need to change the graphics controller to VBoxVGA.

    I managed to get Rhapsody DR1 on VirtualBox with color display.
  • Can this work on PCem? If so, what are the specs?
  • On QEMU, DR2 for PPC only gets as far as the bootscreen.
  • @helloisthispizzahut It's better to use 86Box and not PCem.
  • How do I install dev release 2 on vmware?
  • @upseguest
    Full instructions for installing Rhapsodt DR2 in VMWare can be found here, including link for the VMWare drivers.

  • the guide didnt work, when it told me to do "cp /cd-drivers/next_drivers/* /drivers-tmp" it gave me a usage thing

    It works for me in VMware Workstation 15 Player on Windows 10.



    I've included the commands you'll need to use here:

    fsck

    # mount -w /

    # mkdir /cd-drivers

    # mkdir /drivers-tmp

    # mount -t cd9660 /dev/sd0a /cd-drivers

    # cp /cd-drivers/next_drivers/* /drivers-tmp

    # cd /drivers-tmp

    # gnutar xf vmmouse_1_1_i_bs.tar

    # gnutar xf vmwarefb_config_1_1_1.tar

    # mv /drivers-tmp/VMWareFB.config /private/Devices

    # mv /drivers-tmp/VMMouse/VMMouse.config /private/Devices

    # reboot

  • does it work on qemu?
  • For anyone installing on 86Box - do not use 2.88 floppy drive use 1.44, since using it (with properly set in BIOS) will lead to "read error".
  • well, sheepshaver gets somewhere, maybe someone could modify the sourcecode to be able to use rhapsody PPC.
