You can drag the icon of the file ontoto the Mini vMac window. If it does not find the ROM image, it will waitfor you to tell it where it is. When Mini vMac launches, it will look for a ROM image file in a numberof possible locations. If you don’t have a Macintosh Plus,you could check the“ Where to buy an old Macintosh”page. So to legally use Mini vMac, you need toown a real Macintosh Plus. Note thatthe ROM image file is copyright Apple Computer, and may notbe redistributed.
A program such as“ CopyRoms”,when run on a real Macintosh Plus, will savethis information to a file, which can then be transferredto the computer on which you want to run Mini vMac. The ROM (“Read Only Memory”) contains information needed forthe Macintosh Plus to function, and the emulation of theMacintosh Plus also needs this information.
