Ok so there has been some talk of the different basic's available for classic mac's so last night I thought I would like to poke around with a couple and check them out
I have a "dead" mac plus stored in my parents garage, before it died years ago I snagged its rom, and have it in hand, no biggie then I will just get mini v mac, use my rom and download system 6 off of apples website
that is all fine and dandy but the apple downloads are saved as self extracting sit.bin files, and I have no mac that
A) is in working shape
B) isnt halfway across the state
first thing I thought to do is goto stuffits website and download the windows version, but they dont just let you download it, they require you to enter an email address and wait for a link
that link 12+ hours later still has not arrived, reading around it seems that it wouldnt decompress the self executing file anyway
so is there any way I can get these silly disk images uncompressed so I can install system 6 on mini v mac, without a mac?
