How do I install rhapsody in 86box? I used the Adaptec AHA-1540B and it always throws out an error saying that the SCSI controller or CD-Rom is not found.

Try QEMU. Also believe this goes in the OS X forum becasue Rhapsody is a beta of OS X

I haven't tried it, but someone who is testing Rhapsody on 86box might answer (I think it was Courage?).

I PMed AlphaBeta, because he posted a screenie on BetaWiki which showed Rhapsody running on 86box.

EDIT: No response from him.

Best machines are PCI, Pentium 1 at best, ide disk and cd-rom


Bus mouse or serial, and keep the disk under 2gb.

The hardware support is worse than openstep.

Always boot with the - v flag on the loader to see what is going on.

Qemu is too complex Id want to use 86box for this.

Could you please post the 86box configuration file? Just want to take a look.

here it is: https://pastebin.com/3mMQqdDp

The aha154x adapter needs to be configured to port 0x330, irq 11, dma 5 for NeXTSTEP/OpenSTEP and Rhapsody iirc.

Its now throwing an error saying that the HDD is not found, but i configured it in the BIOS

Like, disk initialization failed?

No, it says the following:

Ide or SCSI disk?

How big?

He's using ide as the primary disk.
Also, if the SCSI bios is enabled while IDE is set to be used as the primary disk, disable the scsi bios, otherwise, also use SCSI for the primary disk (ID 0).

How do I disable the scsi bios?

The HDD is 517MB big.

Simply, in the adapter settings of the SCSI card, set "BIOS address" to disabled.

Still giving the error

Fixed the problem by using a SCSI hdd.

BUT.

You cant boot from it.
Please help.

You need the bios to boot from it.

Can anybody help me with this error?

I have Rhapsody DR1 and DR2 running in 86Box on Windows 10, my configuation is:

Machine: [Socket 7 VX] Award 430VX PCI

CPU type: Intel CPU Pentium MMX 233

Memory: 48 MB

Display: [PCI] Diamond Stealth 3D (S3 ViRGE)

Input Devices: Microsoft Serial Mouse

Floppy Type: 3.5" 2.88M

What SCSI controller are you using?

Obviously he's using the IDE bus and not a SCSI controller...

ATeamInc, you're right. I know his WWPC account and PMed him and he said that he used the IDE bus.
