Anyone of you have A/UX installed and running? As server prehaps? Tell us the pros and cons about it if you have any experience. |

Quote from: "dpaanlka" I believe compressed data in an SMI file is stored inside the resource fork, which is now gone.The sizes vary. Some are over 20Mbs in size. I think that the data is still there... |

Quote from: "DaveRhodes" SMI? Self-mounting Image? Bingo! But I have already tried these tricks you mentioned. I remember using a Apple script to create those images. And yes, those are compressed... I'd otherwise have zipped those all. I remember that those images were created on computer running Mac OS 8 or 9. I belive that System 7 cannot handle compressed .smis at least.

Operating System / Lost resource fork from .smi -files

I once created a bunch of .smi -files that I burnt to CD. Later I copied those files to my Linux box. Later I threw away that CD. What I forgot was the existence of resource forks. :\ I remember crating those images with some kind of AppleScript. I guess those images are compressed... Any way to recover? I already tried to copy the resource fork for from working .smi file but it didn't worked. |

Decided to join here, as I have spent much time in my childhood with older Macintoshes. My first actual computer was some kind of PC actually. It had only two floppy drives and no HD. All I did with it was playd Tetris. There was Elite too, but it failed to work. Then my next step was Mac. My mother brought it from her workplace. It was one of those "happy macs" you see when you boot an older mac - A block.  It had 30Mb external HD which made a LOUD sound when operating. But I really was hooked. I had Civilazation, Monopoly, and Sim City Classic for it.Monopoly wasn't my fav, but I spent hours and days time to play Sim City and Civilization. All of those, of cource, in 1-bit/BW colors. Mean while I got Sega gaming consoles and started playing games made for those. But I returned to Mac again with Parforma 5200, the early stage for iMac. Now I could play Civilazation in colours. \o/ Later I got a Power Mac (9500 if i remember correctly). I ran Mac OS 8 and 9 on it, but those were very unstable OSes. System 7 has it's flaws but it works more smoothly than later OSes. Though i never have had OS X installed on any of my computers. And that's bacause I installed MkLinux on that Power Mac, which led me to buy PC-laptop and install Gentoo Linux on it. Nowdays i'm a Linux junkie, but I rescently Installed BasiliskII and I'm (kind of) back in the buziness. Good thing about using BasiliskII is that System 7 boot's blazinly fast. 2-3 secs to be little more precise. I'd install my System 7 on a real mac but for space saving in mind I use emulator on my laptop. I still have my Power Mac at my friend place (he collects old hardware, so it's safe there), but I think it has some hardware damage and does not work propely. That was the small history between me and Macs and a "Hello world" to you all. |
