documentation on building and running Shoebill.

*** KEEP IN MIND ***

* Shoebill v.first-terrible-code-drop (a.k.a. version 0.0.1)
* ONLY RUNS A/UX
* BUT NOT 3.x.x (I’m working on it)
* Only 1.x.x and 2.x.x
* Shoebill has broken, ultra-minimalist support for
* 68020 (CPU) + 68851 (MMU) + 68881 (FPU)
* Some instructions for ‘020 and most for the MMU and FPU are unimplemented
* SCSI, ADB, and VIA
* Shoebill does not support
* The floppy controller, IWM/SWIM
* Serial
* Ethernet
* PRAM
* Most other things

*** RUNNING ***

You will need
* OS X and a 64-bit Intel Macintosh
(32-bit builds may be possible in the future)
(32-bit builds are possible by twiddling the makefiles)
* A Macintosh II or IIx ROM
* A disk image with A/UX 1.x.x or 2.x.x installed
* If you happen to have an installation CD image for A/UX, that will work
* The kernel on that image (/unix). Shoebill can’t read
SVFS or UFS file sytems yet to load the kernel directly
from the disk image.

* Open Shoebill.app and select Preferences menu item
* Set the paths for your ROM, kernel, and disk image(s).
* Do use SCSI ID #0 for your A/UX boot image.
* Give A/UX a reasonable amount of RAM - say, 32MB
* Press “Apply and Run”
