Hi everyone! So I will be doing some more emulation testing in 2025, either within Chrome OS, or Linux on a tablet, just like m68k's setup  I will therefore be looking for the best hardware possible to do either B-II emulation; the challenge will be I would have loved to have worked with both FMS 5.5 accessing a few FMP 6 clients since the two are mostly compatible with each other; however, being PPC-only, FMP 4 would be good enough for me in that arena. So my question pertains to being able to use my very large 1.5 TB Micro SD card as either a mountable volume and/or boot volume under either Basilisk II or even SheepShaver. I'm not aware that there's any easy networking out-of-the-box for QEMU, but maybe I could revisit this. And it does not need to be run under Linux, but Linux does run on almost anything, including MacBooks, which is why I'm looking at that as my potential OS for doing this. How daunting would it be to rig something like this up? I'm just thinking that it would be beyond awesome to slot it in an it gets read on the fly, but most likely it has to be mounted at boot-up, which is perfectly fine, especially if a different volume can be slotted in each time depending on what you want to run. I am even picturing the possibility for the cards to store video files that have been converted to either Cinepak codec, which is one of my end-goals with all of this! Another thing might be the possibility of finding a way to do 68k videoconferencing, but within emulation; I just don't know how one would be able to setup the input video without real Macs, so I may end up having to do something like this on either my Pismo, Comet or Beige G3. Finally, I am really warming up to the idea of nabbing myself a iBook G3 (or possibly even an unofficially-bootable iBook G4) as my Mac OS 9 device for fancier networking for FMP and video-conferencing, as that would provide easier hardware than relying on emulation for things (you might say that Bolkonskij, you've got me seeing the light as far as using real hardware, but both the price-points and advantages of newer iBooks or possibly using a Mac Mini G4 for Mac OS 9 makes more sense than dropping more money on older/pricier gear). So, if anyone has either some real-world experience with very large SD and/or Micro SD cards to run on emulation, your feedback would be most welcome!
