#Mini vmac system 7.1 Pc#
Yeah, I didn't realize that System 6 didn't have the PC Exchange control panel. Do I format 3.5 disks on my PC and ad the files to 3.5 floppies and then put those in the Mac Classic or do I have to transfer the files another way?Ī Mac Classic running System 6 (or indeed, any Mac running System 6) won't be able to read the PC format. Thanks for the reply! Ok so I got the 19 files for the System 7.5.3 on my PC but what do I do? They are. The *specifics* of how I did this with a Quadra probably wouldn't be particularly helpful because I used a Linux box with a SCSI controller to skip some of the really annoying steps.
This link also might be slightly helpful, although, again, it's not well organized.Īgain, someone can probably help you more then I can. (The reason I think you need the boot disk is I *don't* believe you can run the self-extracting installer for system 7.5 (the 19 piece one) from anything prior to 7.) Otherwise, there's lousy instructions HERE for making a Mac boot disk on a PC. If you can find old copies of Stuffit Explorer and Disk Copy that work under system six might be able to do this on your Classic. (Someone more classic-mac oriented then me can tell you the best way to do this. Then you can download the System 7.5 Network Access Disk and image it to a real floppy. You can download that in a bunch of floppy-disk size pieces here. The simplest thing is probably putting System 7.5.3 on it.
Once you're certain the Mac has a working hard disk if your PC has a floppy drive you can use use that to spoonfeed-over a system 7 upgrade. If you don't, well, you're obviously not going to get too far. make sure you actually *have* a working hard disk in the system. I'm concerned that your system may actually be booting from that, not the hard disk. The reason I ask is that the Mac Classic has a built-in System.
#Mini vmac system 7.1 mac os#
That said, I had a similar problem getting an OS onto a bare Quadra and solved it, so.įirst off, it should probably be clarified, what OS does your Classic have on it again? There's no such thing as Mac OS "6.8.1". It's been a *long* time, so you'd probably be better served by someone with a fresher memory.
