Shoebill - a Macintosh II emulator that runs A/UX

See the wiki on https://github.com/pruten/shoebill for better
documentation on building and running Shoebill.


*** KEEP IN MIND ***

* Shoebill v.0.0.4
  * ONLY RUNS A/UX
* Shoebill has broken, ultra-minimalist support for
  * 68020 (CPU) + 68851 (MMU) + 68881 (FPU)
    * Some instructions for ‘020 and most for the MMU and FPU are unimplemented
  * SCSI, ADB, VIA, and PRAM/RTC
* Shoebill does not support
  * The floppy controller, IWM/SWIM
  * Serial
  * Ethernet
  * Most other things  

*** RUNNING ***

You will need
* OS X 10.8 or 10.9, or Windows 7+, or some kinda linux
  * (I haven’t really tested the linux/windows builds much)
* A Macintosh II, IIx, or IIcx ROM
* A disk image with A/UX 1.x.x or 2.x.x, or 3.x.x installed
  * Note: 3.0.2 and 3.1.1 haven’t been tested
  * If you happen to have an installation CD image for A/UX, that will work


To boot A/UX on OS X
* Backup your disk images!
  When Shoebill inevitably crashes, your A/UX boot image
  will very likely be corrupted - sometimes so severely 
  that A/UX can’t even boot enough to run fsck.

* On OSX:
  * Open Shoebill.app and select Preferences menu item
    * Set the paths for your ROM and disk image(s).
    * Do use SCSI ID #0 for your A/UX boot image.
    * Press “Apply and Run” 

* On Linux
  * ./shoebill rom=/path/to/macii.rom disk0=/path/to/aux_root_image.img

* On Windows
  * ./shoebill rom=C:\macii.rom disk0=C:\aux_root_image.img
