I've got my old Macintosh Classic up and running.
So now I wanna dive down into Deja Vu, Shadowgate, Dark Castle and Uninvited!
What's the "dummy" instruction for:
1. Getting games/progs in a format that can be written to a floppy?
2. Getting the games on to a floppy that's readable on a Classic via a PC/Windows?
I've tried to play on different emulators, but it's not really the same thing.....
If you dont own a suitable SCSI device for moving files, copy the .sit games to PC 1.4MB floppies and inflate the files on your Classic´s HDD. Depending on your System version you may need to install a driver for PC formatted floppies. IIRC Apple´s PC Exchange was the one for handling DOS disks back in the days.
Some emulators can also write to real Mac HFS disks. BasiliskII for Windows Build 142 can handle Mac SCSI devices with a SCSI host adapter installed in your PC.
Thanks!
I do have an old SCSI device, but that's for my old Ensoniq sampler, so I think it's formatted in a way that can't be read by computors. What about http://www.macdisk.com/mden.php
Looks like you can format, read and write Mac floppy on a windoze machine.
There are some tools for read/write Mac HFS volumes with Windows or Linux. HFV Explorer is quite common for Windows: http://www.emaculation.com/doku.php/hfvexplorer. I never tried MacDisk though. Best try a HFS disk from your Mac to write files to it with HFV Explorer.
A SCSI CD ROM might be a nice addition for your Classic, if you can still find an Apple CD300 or similar - cheaper than this one: http://www.ebay.de/itm/SCSI-CD-Rom-Drive-24x-Apple-External-CD-300-/2609...
