Operating System / Sound file to floppy retrieval problems
February 27, 2010, 12:27 |
Thanks for the help so far but I can't get the Mac to install the stuffit programme. I have tried several versions (including the stuffit55.hqx available here and some earlier versions) but each time I get the old 'the application program that created it could not be found' message. If I could, I would just play the damn sounds on the Mac and record them using a mic, but there seems to be a problem with the sound card as even at full volume they are barely audible. Even running a pair of external computer speakers with built in preamp doesn't raise the volume up much. I'm about to give up on this

Hardware / Your first mac

I meant to add some more to the above.. I came to the G3 iMac via earlier Mac encounters. My dad had a mini office network of Macintosh Classics in the early 1990s; although limited machines they were good enough for a small accounting practice. A couple of them are still around and still work. Before that I recall that my school's Design Department had a suite of Macs, though I have no idea what they were. It was c. 1989 and they were brand new, small, colour desktop models. We weren't allowed to use them much and the teacher was always nervous that we would break them :p Oh, I still have my iMac but was never a fan of OS9 so don't use it much anymore. Perhaps it needs to be System 7'd.. |

My own first Mac was a Lime G3 iMac. Loved it, even though the screen discoloured after a year, and I had to change the puck mouse for a trackball. Cost me £1,200 in 2000 as I recall. |

Operating System / Sound file to floppy retrieval problems
February 25, 2010, 16:09 |
Hi Bill, thanks for the response and the explanations. Quote from: "wove" If you zip the files before you move them over you will be able to copy the entire contents of the file. Is this possible on 7.0.1? Quote Linux of course could have problems playing a Mac sound file anyway depending on the format. Linux is just the mediator for taking the files off of the floppy. They will end up on my MBP eventually. Piero |

Operating System / Sound file to floppy retrieval problems
February 25, 2010, 14:28 |
Hi, My first post here. I have been using System 7 on and off for a few years now as I still love the simplicity of the interface. I find it great for simple word processing. I have it installed on my Macbook Pro running under mini vMac. However, recently I revived my dad's old Macintosh Classic from '91, which still works beautifully, and discovered some old sound files on there that I recorded way back when. Fortunately the floppy drive still works and I was able to copy the files to disk and transfer them to Ubuntu (as this is the only other machine I have with a floppy drive). The problem is that when I look at the files on the disk under Ubuntu I am told they contain 0 bytes, no data, nada. Looking at the properties of the whole floppy disk shows me that it is full but looking at the files individually reveals no data. I'm fairly sure this is a Mac issue and not a Linux one as I tried copying over some text files from the Mac with the same floppy and these work fine in Ubuntu. What's going on here - am I copying them incorrectly? Sorry for the lengthy post for a simple issue. Hope someone can help..
