Hi,
Is it possible to "clone" the drive of a system 7 Macintosh Classic?
As a gift from my wife, I got a Macintosh Classic. We bought it from a woman whos father bought it new in Germany. He has since passed away, but there might still be some files on this computer in his original words (old letters and what not) that I would like to preserve before I re-format the computer. If I can someday recover them I think it would be neat to give them back to this woman.
(the files are behind Keychain, so I cannot access them, and the password passed away with the father)
So, until sometime in the future when I find a way to access them (which would be another question for the community about breaking System 7 keychain), I would like to preserve this system state by "cloning" or equivalent.
I have a FloppyEmu (which is great) and was hoping to use that as an external storage on which to mirror the internal hard drive. But I have no idea how to go about this with a system this old.
Any suggestions would be great.
Macintosh Classic
System Software 7.1.1
4,096K
Internal SCSI ~40M Hard Drive
Thank you
Ben
