Hi everyone, I'm having some trouble connecting my MacBook with OS 10.6.6 to my PowerMac 5500 with 7.6.1 via ethernet. I've had no trouble sharing with Leopard but now with Snow Leopard I get some error messages. When connecting to the PowerMac I get "The Server xxx may not exist of it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again." When connecting from the PowerMac I get "This file server uses an incompatible version of the AFP protocol. You cannot connect to it. Please contact the server's administrator. I've noticed that I have no trouble sharing the internet connection from the Macbook to the PowerMac. I would appreciate any suggestions! |

Snow Leopard and System 7 can't file share with each other. You have to use some kind of work-around, like FTP or maintain an independent Tiger or Leopard server which is what I do.

Hi, I'm new and I have a problem: I have a Mac Quadra650 and i need to transfer all documents contains in the HD to a Macbook Pro 2009 with OSX 10.6.7. A friend told me it is impossible file sharing between this 2 OS (the quadra has OS T1-7.1), so i bought an iMac G3 with OSX 10.4.11 (that supports appletalk). I'm not able to configure the Quadra to connect with ethernet. I have an Apple Ethernet Twisted-pair transceiver to connect quadra with ethernet. I bought also a Apple cd 300a but quadra doesn't recognised it, i tried to install apple cd 5.4 but is the same! So i think ethernet is the only solution... Someone can help me? Thanks Max

I will leave it for others to help you resolve your network issues. There are, however, some alternative ways to transfer your data. To transfer large amounts of data from my classic computers, I use an external LaCie SCSI CD writer on my Classic Mac OS 7.6.1 Macs with Adaptec Toast 4.1.2 CD writing software. The CD produced can be read by virtually any computer with a CD drive. (Your CD writing software might not recognize your CD writer drive if the drive is newer than the software.) For smaller quantities of data, I frequently use Iomega Zip disks to transfer data between a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard - Mac OS 10.6.x (or any other modern computer) and Classic Mac OS 7.6.1 computers. I use an external USB Zip drive on the MacBook Pro. I use a VST Zip drive module in my Classic PowerBook 3400c and a SCSI external Iomega Zip drive with my Beige Desktop Classic Macs. (All of these Zip drives are frequently available on eBay.) Snow Leopard can read and write files on PC formatted Zip disks but it can only read Classic Mac formatted Zip disks. You do not need to do the following for what you want to accomplish, but there is actually a way to run a Classic Mac emulator on Snow Leopard (such as Sheepshaver) that allows you to both read and write files on Classic Mac formatted Zip disks from within the emulator. To do this, each time you insert a Zip disk for your MacBook Pro to use, you have to unmount it with Disk Utility and then launch a classic emulator that is able to work with Zip disks. With the Sheepshaver emulator, you have to use one of the older versions of the Sheepshaver preferences program that lets you type in /dev/disk1 for one of the volumes that Sheepshaver is to use. After doing this, when you launch Sheepshaver, the Zip disk shows up on the Classic desktop and you can then read and write files on the zip disk from within the emulator!

Thanks, but the sum of data is about 70 MB, and with a floppy disk it is impossible to transfer... they are all the files and programs on the hd that i want to transfer on a virtual machine Basilisk II, that runs perfectly on my MacBook Pro. How can i do to use my Apple CD ROM 300e plus on a mac Quadra650 with my OS T1-7.1? I think there is the drive in the folder "extensions", but i'm not sure. I can use all type of cd or i need formatted disk for os classic? and i need a program like Toast to read the CD?

Perhaps the best site to easily and clearly explain networking for Macs is Three Macs. The information will tell you what is possible and provide straight forward instructions for implementing it. More information about your setup would be helpful in providing assistance concerning your CD setup. Is your CD drive internal or external? If you have an internal Apple branded CD drive, about the only thing that should prevent it from just working is either bad termination, wrong SCSI id or a broken drive. If the drive is the last SCSI device on the chain, it should be terminated. Old Macs expect the CD drive to be SCSI device 2. Classic Mac OSes read HFS formatted disks with no additional work. To read other formats (jolliet, etc) require additional extensions. Mac OS X will by default create HFS+ formatted CDs which are not readable on the Classic Macs. There is no one sizes fits all method to transfer information between machine and across platforms, but it is commonly done using a variety of methods. Once you have looked over the resources you have available and chosen a method that you think will or should work for you, there are many people on these forums that will be able to provide specific advice. bill

Thank's Bill! The SCSI is external, a AppleCD 300e plus. So, what type of cd can i use? For read a cd, what files i must have in the folder "extentions"? Max

If your 300e is the last or only SCSI device connected to your Mac, it should be terminated. The Mac OS expects to find the CD drive as having a SCSI id of 2. I am not familiar with the 300e, so if you need directions you will either need to search for the setup, or perhaps some one familiar with the 300e will respond. Apple Older Software Downloads has version 5.4 of its CD driver software which will provide drivers and extensions if they are not currently installed. Version 5.4 is the version that shipped with OS 8, however it is compatible with Systems 7.1 and above. System 7 Today has Toast, just click the "Software Guide" heading at the bottom of the page. Although the 300e is just capable of reading disks and not writing disks. You will not be able to use the 300e to create CDs. To create a CD readable by the 300e with Mac OS X 10.5, you would use disk utility. Once you have opened Disk Utility, click the icon to create a "New Image". You can give the image a name and you can give the new volume you are creating a name. The names can be the same or different. Then you click on the volume size and choose "610 MB (CD-ROM 74 Minute". The next step, choosing the Volume Format, is critical. You want to select "Mac OS Standard". The remaining options can be left at their defaults. Once you are all setup click on "Create". This will create a disk image file that will be saved to where ever you have chosen to save. Once the disk image has been created, you can double click the image to mount it. Once the image is mounted you can copy any information on your hard drive to the image. Once you have all the information you wish to transfer un mount the image either by right clicking and selecting "eject" or click the up pointing triangle beside the Volume Name in the Finder sidebar. Once the image is unmounted return to Disk Utility and select the "Burn" icon. A selection window will open and you then select the disk image file you have created and Click on "Burn". I believe your first posting stated that you were using Mac OS X 10.6. I do not have that installed so I do not know if the options available in 10.6. are the same as the options in Mac OS 10.5, which is what I still use. bill

Quote from: "massi13" Thanks, but the sum of data is about 70 MB, and with a floppy disk it is impossible to transfer... I was not referring to a traditional floppy disk. The Iomega Zip disks that I use hold 100MB. They also come in larger sizes. If you want to be able to use these files inside of a Classic Mac emulator such as Basilisk II, you should archive those files first using something like Aladdin Drop Stuff or Apple's Disk Copy. That way when you expand them inside of Basilisk II all of your files' various Classic Macintosh attributes (such as type, creator, resource fork, etc.) will remain intact. Quote from: "massi13" I can use all type of cd or i need formatted disk for os classic? and i need a program like Toast to read the CD? If you want to be able to create a CD from your Quadra650, you will need a program like Toast to write the CD. Once created, virtually any computer with a CD drive will be able to open it including your MacBook Pro.

Quote from: "massi13" So i need a Iomega Zip reader or they can be read by a normal floppy disk reader? So i need a scsi Iomega reader and an USB reader... ? Zip disks are bigger than and quite different from normal floppy disks. So to use Zip disks to transfer data between your Quadra650 and your MacBook, you would need a SCSI Zip drive for your Quadra and a USB Zip drive for your MacBook. Both zip drives are frequently sold on eBay and many are sold along with a few zip disks. (The Zip 250 drives can read and write both the 100MB disks and the 250MB disks. The Zip 100 drives only work with the 100MB zip disks.) Your MacBook knows how to read a USB Zip disk without any additional software. (However, it can't write to a Mac formatted Zip disk unless you write to it from inside your Classic Emulator. You MacBook can, however, write to PC formatted Zip disks.) Your Quadra should also be able to read and write to the SCSI zip disk if you have a formatted Zip disk in the drive when you start it up. In order for your Quadra to be able format zip disks, you will need to install Iomega software which you can download from their website - www.iomega.com.

Hi, can someone tell me how to transfer files and programs from a mac Quadra650 to a Macbook Pro 2009? I'm not able to configure appletalk, so i think to use another system. I have an Apple CD 300e but i can't use it to create CD's i think... there is another solution can i try to transfer my files? Max

I can imagine some possibilities. Get a AAUI-15 dongle and connect to a PC running PCMacLan, compress your files with Stuffit and copy them to a USB stick. On your snow leo machine, expand them with "The Unarchiver" Find a CD burner for the Quadra´s SCSI port. Toast your files on some CD-R media. Compress your files with Stuffit and upload to a place like Mediafire. Download them with your snow leo machine and expand them with "The Unarchiver" Take the HDD out of the Quadra and ask someone with a pre G3 Mac to create a disk image of it. Put the disk image on a stick and mount it in OSX. Please note, that snow leo will not run Classic apps, therefore some files may be difficult to read. If you would like to run your 68040´s software on Intel, BasiliskII is what you need.

Thank's 24bit, but can i use PCMacLan with a mac with os T1-7.1 and a windows xp pc? i cant upload files because i'm not able to connect the quadra to internet and i haven't installed a browser. I have already installed Basilisk II with os 7.5.3, so i want to transfer the hd of the quadra on the virtual machine. Max

I have done the same thing with D1-7.1, so I cant see why it should not work. You will need a ethernet connection from your Mac to the XP machine and the file server software: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Network-Tools/Misc-Networking-Tools/PC-MACLAN.shtml The server will run for 180 minutes after every XP start in demo mode. On the XP you set up a user in PCMacLan with your Macs name and password, afterwards you select your server on the Mac with Chooser, AppleShare - thats all. Best move your files in Stuffit or DiskCopy "containers" as your resource fork will be lost on the FAT USB sticks. If your XP has a floppy drive, it can also be done the hard way: Create a new archive with Stuffit3.5 Add all files you want. Choose "Segment" in Stuffit and let the archive be cut into 1,4MB chunks. Copy the chunks to DOS formatted floppies. Take all chunks to your BasiliskII via floppy, XP, USB and inflate there.
