1 Software / Installing applications on System 7.5.x
November 19, 2009, 19:46
Thanks for all the replies :)

I've got the Stuffit 5.5 installer onto my Macintosh SE, but I have problems installing it. First, in the beginning of the installation, it tells me that I need 8000 K of memory, and the machine only have 4000 (and usually only 2200 free). If I continue anyways, the screen will be covered by a gray pattern, which I can "erase" by moving the cursor around over it, like it draws something over the entire screen and doesn't redraw everything beneath it, and it constantly plays a loud beeping noise, which disappears when I quit the installer. It still works fine, but I really don't think that it sounds good. I guess that the installation could finished if I just leaved it for a while...

Any suggestions?

Hey all :)

I have a Macintosh SE (with HD) running System 7.5, and I'm trying to install some applications on it. Since I believe that the only way is to move it into a floppy disc, I have an external floppy disc drive, that doesn't work on Mac OS X, but do on a Windows PC. What I do is that I download the application (typically a .sit file), extract it from my MacBook Pro, move it to my Windows PC, copy it to the floppy disk and pop it into my Mac SE. I can see all the files that are on the disc, but their  icon is just a sheet with "PC" on it, and when I double-click them, it just tells me that it didn't recognize the file format.

What am I doing wrong? It's not any particular app I want to run, and I've tried many different. Please help me :)
