Hi,
I used the SqueakNOS.iso version of 08-Aug-2006. I use VirtualBox 2.2.2 on Mac OS X 10.5 on a dual core macmini.
I have mouse and keyboard control, but it is very jerky. It can take up to 20 seconds for any response to clicks or typing. Next I will try to test the network, but it expects different devices than SqueakNOS has,
Any hints where to begin to test these drivers? And how to start modifying the current drivers?

Ok... I'm back from ostracism... Let's see what happens when you use a newer version from: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3891&package_id=3...
for example the ESUG 2008 one, that's a year older than the one you tried and I had fixed a few problems there. Let's start with that.

Apparently none of the devices emulated by VirtualBox is supported by SqueakNOS. I think you'll have to make them work, however, I think PCnet should be the same a Lance cards (I quite don't remember, should try to find that info again), and Lance is supported.
In any case, open a browser (open SqueakNOS's .image with a regular squeak, and browse clases) There you'll see the other network devices implemented (LancePCIDevice and Realtek8139PCIDevice). This is the best documentation you can get, and I think they are quite understandable if you have the PDF (and I also think all necessary PDFs should be included in the ISO image, however, I'm not quite sure if that also goes for ESUG's .iso)
sorry for the delay, let me know how it goes, gera

another option is to use qemu under Mac OSX. It should work, is pretty good with acceleration (at least on Linux), networking should work, and, on my machine, the IDAHardDisk works :)
