    The problem I've run into is that shoebill doesn't seem to want to mount

    ID's above zero in the preferences, but I've been unable to create an
    empty image which it recognizes (using dart and diskcopy with various options). There's no error message given. They simply don't appear.

    This is a basic feature of the emulator, so it seems it should work, but
    I've never used shoebill so I have no help for you on that score.

    Are you able to mount optical disks or any disks? Are you using HFS or
    HFS+? (neither shoebill nor A/UX will understand HFS+ and Mac OS X will
    not write HFS on versions later than... 10.7? 10.5? In there somewhere).

    Again, it might be best to try to get A/UX 3 running rather than 1.1.1

    Otherwise, you may need old Mac hardware where you could, worst case,
    connect a serial cable to a linux machine and literally write the files
    over a serial cable.
