Vintage Mac Software Download

Hello, I'm relatively new to the vintage Mac scene. To date, I am a vintage Apple II guy and have 5 of them set up through the house to play with, and even two wither Uther cards (ethernet access on my IIgs systems).

Anyway, I would like to start downloading vintage Mac software onto a couple I purchased recently. I am particularly interested in getting software downloads from the Internet to my Mac Color Classic. I have Stuffit loaded on my modern Mac with OS X 10.6.4.

Can you tell me, or point me to a link that gives step by step instructions on downloading images or Stuffit files, like those from this awesome site, to my modern Mac, onto a USB floppy drive I have (1.44) and then to the Color Classic? Thank you in advance for any help.

Vapor

Hi Vapor, try the Guides section on this site to start off with. There are 3 emulators of note [vMac, Basilisk II and Sheepshaver] and you'll need to get these beasts running on your Intel mac first. You'll need a copy of a mac rom as well to get them working.

I'm currently trying to get my PowerMac 8100 and SE/30 networked and online and learning lots about macs along the way. I suggest that you beef up your Color Classic as much as you can. Watch eBay like a hawk and bid what you need — LC PDS network cards, VRAM, RAM, faster SCSI-harddrives and 50pin-68pin or 50pin-80pin adaptors and so on.

I have many spares at this point and I may be help you if you need parts.

Here are some useful links for you:
