Re: update on the ALyX semi-replica project

Ah, good to know. I'll try it that way, and also see if I have the same problems with wifi and/or an external Ethernet dongle.

As for Mini vMac... you're right that it can't do the aspect ratio, but it can be recompiled with different screen sizes. I'm not terribly concerned with the details on that, but it's possible to create a lot of different variations, including a bunch that never existed (like this widescreen Mac Plus, for example: Variation mnvm2583-3.3.3 <http://www.gryphel.com/d/var/latest/c/mnvm2583-3.3.3-imch.bin.tgz> ). It'll just be one of several options in the startup manager. And I did consider switching to a Mac design (especially since I have an SE/30 that could serve for a measuring model) but I figured the Lisa design was more interesting.
