![]() The disk image is just large enough to hold the files in it and expands to its maximum size as you add files to it. This is why apple dropped stuffit from mac os x tiger because they wanted people to use disk images + not use stuffit anymoreĬhoose this if you want to continue adding files to the disk image after it’s created.Ĭhoose this if you want to continue adding files to the image and want to conserve space. dmg file frm X is using a compatible file system (mac os standard or extended) (denoted above as ***)īut this would be the best and most safe way to transfer files NATIVELY between X + 9 i will take a look and post a link to the other thread!īut i think it will work (mounting. So i beleive it is possible to go backwards as well providing you have updated your disk copy version to this I had made some post about a rare version of disk copy that was able to mount. Im not so sure this is possible to go backwards from. This encapsulates + retains all proper file meta data such as resource forks icons associations etc img file from mac os 9 to a mac os x disk img on mac os 9 using disk copy and then transfering the. Transfering files between x + 9 can be done MOST SAFELY + MOST EFFECTIVELYīy using this method. ![]() My drive pops up as "hard disk" so I will be using that to refer to the macintosh drive under linux menus. Next I need to deal with the hard disk first mounting Once that is done, I keep the terminal window open we will need it a bunch more I am going to link it here unless instructables says something, only with the understanding that you are only going to use it to bootstrap your real physical classic Macintosh computer, and not just leech it for emulator usage, if you do its your own butt, I claim no responsibility for the use of this outside of booting your machineįirst I need to install Basilisk II, open a terminal window and bang in sudo apt-get intstall basilisk2 Sytem7.0.smi.bin /Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/Macintosh/System/Older_System/System_7.0.x/īasilisk II starter disk Basilisk II compatible rom, these rom images can only come from a mac you own, course if you can not boot how can you get them? I googled some shady looking sites and finally found a rom image for a "performa" which works fine with the emulator Macintosh SE, 800k floppy so I could not just make a boot disk, if your computer has a "super disk" you can just download image files on your pc and make floppy boot disks, 800k disks require a different drive mechinism that IBM heritage pc's do not supportĪ amd X64 running ubuntu 9.10, and a compaq scsi card, yes you probably can use other flavours of nix, but that is out of the scope of this article One pc with linux installed and SCSI interface (host) What I used:Ĩ0MB hard disk out of my dead performa, it would boot but was just a minimal install to only work on the performa 200 / classic 2, so my SE would halt One Macintosh computer with a SCSI interface (target) capable of running system 7 One working HFS or HFS+ formatted SCSI hard disk with apple firmware This instructable also gets sorta complicated, it requires specific things and software, but it is much better than the alternative in this case, which is 800k floppy disk drive (dont have another mac) apple firmware SCSI cd rom (dont have), or have "someone" snail mail me a floppy disk (bah!) This is a narrowly focused instructable that should apply to any classic Macintosh with a SCSI hard disk and that can run system 7.0 but I have no way to test it so run wild with itĪlso you can use this information to take a hard disk out of a failed computer and retrieve information off of that disk (as long as the hard disk is still ok) ![]() In the following instructable I will show you how to do it using a apple formatted and apple firmware installed hard disk, a pc running ubuntu, a pc SCSI card, and a emulator so you can transfer the hard drive to a Macintosh SE and have it boot With no other working Mac's in the house how do I get this thing to boot? So here is the scenario, I have an idea for a project, that project needs a classic Macintosh computer, so I picked a couple 68k compact macs from the local recyclers for a dollar each (ones really dead, atm) the one that functions is a Macintosh SE, with a dead hard disk and a funky 800k floppy disk
