[Apologies for any breach of etiquette; I'm new here.]
Over the weekend I've acquired a Color Classic with a LC575 motherboard 'Mystic' upgrade. (It came with 2 spare LC575 boards: one standard, and one with an 040 that was somehow overclocked with an oscillator and a heatsink(?!)).
The CC's floppy drive doesn't seem to work. The CC has a SMC ethernet card, which does work. I have the CC on my local network.
The existing system drive has StuffIt 4.0 installed. As iCab/Navigator are really slow, I have downloaded a few .sit archives to my OS X High Sierra Mac Mini, then served the .sit archives from the download folder via "python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8888". I then used Navigator to 'download' the files from the Mac Mini to the CC.
Unfortunately, for most of these archives, I am unable to extract them. For the few that I have extracted, I am unable to run the binaries. These are things like MacSSH 68K, NiftyTelnet, and so forth, all made for 68k Macs.
I'm unable to use the Dropstuff Extractor, as it complains the StuffIt Engine isn't installed.
I've attempted to install StuffIt 5.5 Deluxe, but have been unable to extract a working installer binary.
I have used SheepShaver on OSX to emulate a saved @2000 PowerBook image, and have installed StuffIt 4.0 on it, then attempted to create 4.0 .sit and .sea .hqx files. I transferred those files to the MM via the 'unix' share, then downloaded them via browser to the CC. The CC was able to extract the .hqx, and the .sit, but the resulting binaries didn't work, with an "error -39".
What am I missing?
Thanks!
