Figure 1: It’s a Mac-on-Stick! For this project, let’s call it Mac-on-Stick, you need the following components: * The Mini vMac emulator. The emulator is available for both Mac OS (Classic and OS X), Windows, Linux, and even Pocket PC. * A ROM image. If you own Macintosh Plus, 128K, or SE, you can copy the ROM using the CopyRoms utility. Alternatively, you can download a ROM image from http://www.rolli.ch/MacPlus/welcome.html. * A blank disk image that acts as the emulator’s hard disk (available from http://minivmac.sourceforge.net/extras/blanks.html). * System software. Luckily, Apple offers older versions of its software, including Mac OS up to version 7.5.5, at the Older Software Downloads page. This project uses System 7.0.1 * Macintosh software to play with. For starters, you might want to check out a list of older Mac software at Mini vMac's website. * A USB key (even an older 32MB USB key will do the job).

Using Firefox Portable To start up Firefox Portable, just double-click FirefoxPortable.exe file where you installed Portable Firefox on your portable drive. Then, use it just like you would a local copy of Firefox. There are a couple of things to keep in mind: * Stay Safe - When using portable apps, it's always a good idea to practice Safe Portable App-ing. * Removing Your Drive - When you're done, exit Firefox and then wait for the activity light on your removable drive to stop flashing. This may take a minute or more on slow drives or computers. Then select the 'Safely remove [device]' option from the icon in the system tray. If you remove the drive while it is writing, you may lose data.
