Hi,
This is happening to me on Windows 98 and also on
Windows NT 4.0 Server.
I am following the instructions to setup the system. I
have got the MacOS 7.0 disk and also the ROM disk,
which I have taken from a LC Mac. In General, I am
using MAc type 7. The ROM was copied with hfvexplorer
using "raw data, data fork" and the Mac 7.5.3 folders
were placed inside the Mac disk, formatted with
hfvexplorer using the "automatic, let the program
decide" option.
Basilisk II is able to boot correctly: it shows the
initial Mac Screen and it is able to load the System
7.0 disk.
Afterwards, I try to open the first file from the 19
segments the MAc Os 7.5.3 is made of. This is a self
extracting file (downloaded the bin version) that
opens itself and prompts to agree to the license, and
so on. This is done correctly.
However, once these preliminary questions have been
answered, it tries to start assembling the 19
segments. Then, it doesn't go further: the system
shows a bomb window and the following message pops
up: "Sorry, a system error has occurred "MAc 7.5.3 01
of 19" bad F-line instruction", and it makes you
restart the emulation.
As I said, this happens on NT and also W98. It also
happens with the 7.5.5 sea archive and with the
network disk, when I try to open them. I downloaded
segment 1 of the 7.5.3 OS again to make sure it is not
corrupted, but the problem persists.
Before installing, I switched off all antivirus,
unnecessary services, ms office, etc.
The boxes are 128 and 256 Mbyte RAM respectively, with
plenty of disk space. Those are Pentium processors at
500 and 700 Mhz.
HAs this error been reported before ? Is there any way
of circumventing it ? Is there any known problem with
this ?
Thank you in advance

I experienced exactly the same problem under NT 4.0 SP 6b on a Pentium II. So it should be a more general
problem. I would be interested in a work-around, too.
Thanks.

Please disregard my previous entry: deselecting FPU Emulation solved my problem. I found it in the
general tab of the BasiliskII GUI. There is just two more things I'd like to ask: the first is that, when
deselecting FPU emulation it says you can try SoftwareFPU instead. How can this be done ? The second is
that, whenever I go out of Basilisk II (doing shutdown) I get a blue screen saying that the program caused
an exception and that unsaved info will be lost. If accepting, it then kicks out of Basilisk and continues
Windows operations. I don't know if this is related to the FPU business or not. If you think it is not, I may
open another call if I see that this is causing me any problems.
Again thank you for your help.

Does turning off the FPU emulation help?

Hi,
I read your update. The question is: how do you turn off
the FPU emulation ?
Thank you
