I think I followed this article to get started: http://www.toughdev.com/content/2008/06/system-7-5-5-on-mini-vmac/ http://www.toughdev.com/content/2008/06/system-7-5-5-on-mini...
By building Mini vMac from source, and gathering ancient pieces of software over a few months, I was able to put together a fully working and practical Macintosh 7 running - on macOS, but possible to run on Windows and Linux as well.
HyperCard, SimCity Classic, Civilization, Lemmings, Berkeley Logo.. Such a joy.
Just now, I downloaded the Electronic Whole Earth Catalog from the Internet Archive, and imported into vMac. Ooh, too bad, I get a message:
> To access your files, you must mount this hard disk on a computer that has Mac OS 8.1 or later."
My vMac is running 7.5.5. Well, I'll try to extract it on host OS then import.
