SheepShaver file access

[Mark Schonewille]

Jacque,

Try setting the Unix root to something like "Users/Jacque/ 
Sheepshaver/" after creating a folder "Sheepshaver" in your home  
directory. Although I have to restart once or twice sometimes, to make  
the Unix drive appear, this works quite nicely for me.

I was able to mount the local hard disk as a network drive, but since  
I upgraded to Leopard, I was unable to do so.

I don't think the Basilisk and Sheepshaver were ever "supported". The  
developers just work on it when they feel like it.

Best regards,

Mark Schonewille
