fwiw:

I never had MPW on the Mac back in the day, but I have had luck running
THINK C / Symantec C/C++ on both BasiliskII and qemu. My old media has gone
missing, but I found them both on macintoshrepository. I see there's MPW 3.x
available:

https://www.macintoshrepository.org/545-macintosh-programmer-s-workshop-mpw-3-x

BasiliskII is much faster and flexible for general use - the shared unix dirs
are great for transfers - but there's no MMU support, and the FPU is buggy.
Which reminds me, I should update the version in pkgsrc...

qemu is solid emulation wise, and will boot netbsd-mac68k nicely. I've
been using netatalk3 to transfer files locally.

The fact that BasiliskII and netatalk3 use different formats for file
forks is annoying, but it is possible to translate between the two.
