HD size within Basilisk II / 7.5.5 about macintoshpi HOT 2 CLOSED

7.5.5 can view a hard drive that is any size but cannot boot from a disk larger that 4 or 3.5 gigs

from macintoshpi.

Update:

There's probably a lot of ways to do this. I ended up using 'Basilisk II GUI' (macOS) to create a 1GB volume.

Then I copied the created volume to the SD card's /usr/share/macintoshpi/macos7 folder using scp.

I added this line near the top of /usr/share/macintoshpi/macos7/macos7.cfg

disk /usr/share/macintoshpi/macos7/1GBHD.dsk

When you start System 7 on the MacintoshPi again, it will ask you to format it. So that's how you add a disk.

But I found out that the macos7.cfg can mount most disk images (.cdr, .iso, .toast) as either disk or cdrom. This is useful, because many of these reference apps require the cd to be mounted. So the top of my config file reads something like this:

rom    /usr/share/macintoshpi/macos7/Performa-630.ROM
disk   /usr/share/macintoshpi/macos7/hdd.dsk
disk   /usr/share/macintoshpi/macos7/games.dsk
disk   /usr/share/macintoshpi/macos7/1GBHD.dsk

cdrom  /usr/share/macintoshpi/macos7/Encarta95.toast
cdrom  /usr/share/macintoshpi/macos7/EyewitnessScience.toast
cdrom  /usr/share/macintoshpi/macos7/NewWayThingsWork.toast
cdrom  /usr/share/macintoshpi/macos7/TheWayThingsWork.iso

from macintoshpi.
