Operating System / Transfer files from Mac IIcx
August 11, 2012, 19:58 |
The SCSI HBA should come with drivers for your PC operating system in the first place. The Apple branded ROM of the one you picked may matter or not. The SCSI ROM usually would only be used for booting from a attached HDD. The manufacturer of the HBA does not matter much, as long as XP can find a driver for it. If you should try BasiliskII, its SCSI support relies on a working PC SCSI HBA and you may need to add winaspi.dll (Advanced SCSI Programming Interface) to your XP system. |

Operating System / Transfer files from Mac IIcx

If the XP box could be equipped with a SCSI HBA, the Mac´s drive could be connected to that one, mounted with BasiliskII build 142 and you could even continue using the old apps. FusionPC could use Mac SCSI drives as well, but WIN98SE was the last host system working. Either way, a Mac ROM would be needed to run the otherwise free emulators. |

Operating System / Transfer files from pc to mac
August 11, 2012, 19:20 |
I used PCMacLan quite a bit back in the days. There may be other (better) solutions, but this always worked for me with a W2K or XP host as fileserver. PCMacLan provides a shell for PC volumes, so they look exacly like AppleTalk server volumes from a Mac. You will need a AAUI-15 adapter for your PB, of course. PCMacLan was very easy to use, the demo version had to be restarted after three hours, though. BasiliskII and SheepSaver can write Mac HD floppies. (Control-F1 is used to mount floppies with the emulator) It should be possible to create chunks with Stuffit 3.5 or higher on the emulated drive, transfer your splitted files on floppies to the PB and join them there. That sounds like the hard way to me, but not impossible. |

Hardware / File Server?
March 19, 2012, 22:17 |
Can you set up a simple FTP server with your router? That way it should be feasible to move files. I am using an USB stick with FileZilla, as my router offers a USB port for such issues. If thats not an option, you might try Wired or GLoarbLine with an online storage. Macdomain.org is offering a fast storage in Sweden. With such ancient protocol, there will be little overhead compared to todays WWW "features". |

Software / Picture Viewer/Manager

What about JPEGView? I have been using that one with my MacII. As the name states, it is a viewer, not much else. http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/jpegview |

Off Topic Discussion / What do you do to the OS X Dock?
November 13, 2011, 00:40 |
I keep it on the monitors´s left side, as I can spend some width for it with the usual wide screens. I am using the dock for apps, Google Earth, Firefox, OpenOffice, NTFS Mounter and more. |

Hardware / File sharing between OS 7 and OS 10
October 26, 2011, 19:41 |
As far as I recall, late Apple 3.5" floppies were capable of reading and writing 720k, 800k and 1440k. Most (all?) drives could also read 400k disks. |

Operating System / 7.5.3 Installation Failed
October 21, 2011, 12:20 |
Actually there seems to be a bootable 7.5.3 CD image floating around. Are you still looking for one? |

Hardware / Color Classic Dilemma
October 18, 2011, 01:48 |
My 68k 7.5.3 is up and running with about 3MB. If you have enough free HDD space, you might consider to partition it for 7.6.1 and 7.1, so you may get the most out of it. Maybe you can find an old Windy system as intermediate? I once rescued a ASUS PIII with SCSI, ethernet, USB-2 (and floppy drive of course) from e-recycling. |

Hardware / Color Classic Dilemma
October 14, 2011, 18:19 |
I would vote for ethernet... CD ROM drivers were not included with 7.1, if I recall right. Apple shipped their CD300´s with a floppy and drivers on it therefore. CD drivers from 7.5 could make use of many different drives. The drivers should work with 7.1 too. FWB´s CD ROM Toolkit offered connectivity for some third party drives, but it was hit and miss, mostly. |

Operating System / Trouble installing 7.5.3 Performa 6400
October 04, 2011, 00:28 |
Hello, did you manage to boot System7 meanwhile? Although the 603(e) cpus could use 7.5.3, they needed specially made CDs as far as I recall. What about a retail 7.6 CD from ebay? If your System CD was damaged, you might try one of the retail images floating around. Given that your CD ROM drive is good, it would be much easier to install from CD, I suppose. Best wishes! |

Operating System / the PROS and CONS??
August 20, 2011, 21:22 |
I think PRO is the fact, that you can still use your old software from the early 90ties on a fast OS needing only small resources. 7 was one of the best OS from Apple with a one button mouse and a intuitive GUI, miles ahead of its competitors at its time. Actually some of those GUIs were pale blueprints of System7. This is how it looks: http://www.mediafire.com/?17sha5gtosdcng3 Obviously you wont find iTunes or GoogleEarth for 7. |

Operating System / Sharing Trouble....
August 01, 2011, 20:40 |
To me, it looks as Network Software Installer Version 1.5.1 (NSI) is what you will need. Alas, I have no machine to try with. If I recall right, I was using Apple Ethernet NB driver with my MacII, but you have ethernet built in luckily. The driver for that and other stuff is on the disk. The file from Apple´s server will inflate to a DiskCopy4.2 image. Should not be a problem, as it SEA, self extracting archive. |

Operating System / Sharing Trouble....

OK, I see. Thats why I am using Firefox on all my machines :-) For your networking issue this looks promising: http://www.vintagemacworld.com/mactcpip.html The article points to this Apple site: http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/MultiCountry/Macintosh/Networking-Communications/Network_Software_Installer/ |
