Commander is a utility for the MacSD, allowing file transfers from the FAT32-formatted SD card to a Mac volume. It eases the process of getting files from the web to old Macs without networking or emulators.

Requirements:
  • System 6.0.3 - 7.6.1 (tested also on 7.1 and 7.5.5)
  • 192KB free RAM
  • MacSD with firmware v1.0.0+

Direct downloads:

Very cool!

I haven't upgraded my firmware in a while. Did the fragmentation issue with the SD card ever get improved upon?

Indexing speed hasn't changed, so large images will still take a while. I may optimize the indexing routines at some point.

Fragmentation can be avoided entirely for hard drive images with the partition mapping feature.

Commander can transfer fragmented files without a problem since the access is sequential.
