Operating System / Mac Classic - Writing System 7 Floppys

Thanks - I'll investigate the link. As I mentioned in my initial post I have tried to do this on a PC (Transmac, FDimage and Rawrite but always get an error saying the file is 37 bytes too large. Steve |

Operating System / Mac Classic - Writing System 7 Floppys

Apparently they have taken HFS support out of Disk Utility. You can read HFS but not Write. Steve |

Operating System / Mac Classic - Writing System 7 Floppys
January 02, 2010, 00:31 |
recently got back in my possession a Mac Classic that I originally owned back in the early 90's. The only other Mac I have is running Snow Leopard 10.6. I want to update the Classic from System 6 to System 7 and so need to burn a set of floppys. Snow Leopard no longer has write support for the HFS file system so I cannot use it to burn the floppys. It will read HFS but not write. I have found the following applications that can burn HFS 1.44 floppys on MS Windows/DOS: Transmac, rawrite and fdimage. I have been successful in writing simple files to floppys and then reading them on the Mac Classic with all three of these applications. So far so good. The problem I have is that when I try to create the image files for system 7 on a 1.44 floppy I get an error message saying that the file is too big for the floppy. Actually after some investigation I have found that the system 7 files are 37 bytes too big to fit on a floppy. I get the same result will all three software products. Can anyway throw any light on this for me. BTW - I believe that the Classic will run System 7.0 but not System 7.5 and above? Steve |
