Networking: determine Console 4.10 OS compatibility from the binary

PEF imports (InterfaceLib/MathLib/ObjectSupportLib only; no AppearanceLib,
no Open Transport libs) plus the resource-fork "MacTCP or OpenTransport"
Gestalt check show it is a classic PPC PowerPlant app: runs System 7.1.2
through Mac OS 9 (practical floor 7.5), classic MacTCP API but happy with
either stack. Recommended SheepShaver target: System 7.5.5/7.6.1 with a
7100/7500/8500 old-world ROM, TCP/IP set to 200.0.0.1.

Networking: SheepShaver TAP ↔ DOSBox-X NE2000 pcap, both bridged to a

**Console 4.10 OS compatibility (from the binary, 2026-07-04):** classic
PowerPC PowerPlant/CodeWarrior app; PEF imports are only `InterfaceLib`,
`MathLib`, `ObjectSupportLib`. NO `AppearanceLib` (⇒ does NOT need Mac OS
8) and NO Open Transport libs (⇒ classic **MacTCP API**). Resource fork
has the startup check "TCP/IP not installed. Install either MacTCP or
OpenTransport…" via Gestalt/SysEnvirons — so it accepts either stack.

ships with 7.5). **Recommended SheepShaver target: System 7.5.5 / 7.6.1**
(period-correct for a 6100, includes Open Transport 1.1.x so the TCP/IP
Gestalt check passes, most stable under SheepShaver w/ a 7100/7500/8500
old-world ROM). Set TCP/IP control panel to 200.0.0.1.
**Leverage the real 6100 (user has it):** (1) image its hard drive → get
the exact console software + OS + MacTCP/OpenTransport config → drop into
SheepShaver for a faithful reproducible console; (2) fastest path to a
