Basilisk Ii Hfv File

[toulvus]

Does any one know where I can download a copy of mac os in hfv format that can run in Basilisk II, and i already have the rom all i need is the hard drive file that works with the quadra 650.

And the old mac oses can be downloaded free of charge just not in the hfv format.

There's a tool called HFV Explorer out there that let's you create HFV files. Also the Windows/Mac/Linux gui versions of Basilisk II will let you create HFV files.
Installing MacOS 7.5 is quite easily done and can be downloaded for free from the obsolete software part the apple website.

This also happens with a real mac, you need to boot from an install floppy image and install the OS onto the HFV file. Better do that with Basilisk II for Windows, MacOS or Linux. Even if you have never installed MacOS it's not hard. There's tutorials out there on the web on how to install MacOS in Basilisk II, just do a google.
