Can I set up a disk image in vMac then image it to SD for SCSI2SD?
Posted by: ben68 on 2018-06-25 11:31:45 I've spent many hours among Mini vMac, Basilisk II, and SheepShaver, and I feel comfortable setting up a virtual disk and getting it running in all three of these. If I set up a virtual 2GB disk in SheepShaver, then use a disk writing app (dd or Win32 Disk Imager) and write it to the SD, can I pop that in a SCSI2SD drive and have a working HD? I realize I'd write it to a 4GB or 8GB SD. Thanks!

If it's a raw hdd image and you dd it to a card, only enable one device ID on the scsi2sd starting at the first sector (sector 0) I haven't used this method for macs but I have done it with cd ISO images, so I don't see why you don't have a good shot at it working.
Posted by: ben68 on 2018-06-25 14:44:06 Here is the theory - I'm guessing someone here has done it. I'd rather use Win32DiskManager than dd if I can help it. http://www.codesrc.com/mediawiki/index.php/HFSFromScratch It would be ideal to be able to set up the SD and keep a clone of the disk for emulation.
