I’d use a simple serial / RS232 nullmodem cable to a modern PC, and use Kermit or the like to copy things via serial. In worst case you can UUEncode or HQX the files first, and do a non-binary/text only transmission.

Hi, admittedly, the title is a bit clickbaity. I’m looking for a System 6/7 safe software, that measures DDP/AppleTalk performance between 2 hosts. As I’m playing with ATrouting and RAS, this would really help me debugging stuff.

Thank you, maceffects!

Would you mind sharing the software for the Aura ScuzzyGraph Color Graphic Processor?

Hi, I got hold of the old Laplink Mac software of the System 5/6ish era, which was together with some 5.25" disks for MS-DOS, to transfer stuff from Macs to PCs without networking (box images) I’d love to use the Sys5 software part, but interface to something UNIXish/for macOS. Does anyone...

*push* :-)

That would be nice, thanks!

thanks for the links to eBay. I checked it before, the seller charges ~30$ postage for the lock items, plus VAT, that’ll be rather expensive. The other link is a disk lock system, not an anti-theft-system.

Hi, I’m trying to secure my SE/30 during a large conference, and I can’t afford guided security. So I wanted to make use of the "security lock" / chain symbol hole thing on the back of the Mac. But I couldn’t source a plug that goes in there. I found online a photo of that security lock thing...

Just to mention it: Some folks are working on a old/new Mac Plus implementation for the MiST of Til Harbaum. https://github.com/mist-devel/mist-board/wiki The port currently reaches ~2.5x original Mac Plus 68000 speed. This sure is far away from the 500 MHz machine of the subject, but it is...

I'm currently in contact with an author of a MPW compiler language who’s (with OS X stuff) still in business. I convinced him that’d be totally cool to have his compiler running withing MPW again. So I stuffed together a Mini vMac machine, completely with OS and MPW 3.5. But … this MPW is too...

May anyone put the controller/management software for it somewhere? I’m expecting a nice box and can’t wait to have it running! :D

@Mac128: Thanks for that URL and description. It is a real PITA nowadays to exchange data with old Macs, it is _much_ easier to do this with an IBM PC of 1986 than with a Macintosh of 1986. What a pity. The reasons I don't use Sheepshaver very often: can't emulate System 6 or older and (major...

@prattp: Thanks, that works. Indeed it is not very Mac-like. But Aladdin doesn't support any older formats. @ken27238: Not an option since this Mac runs only 10.6 or newer.

Hi, I'm running mini vMac on my MacBook, using Mac OS X 10.6.4. I'd like to pass some files (including resource forks) to the System 6 or 7 running within mini vMac. • But I can't unpack Mac OS X-style ZIP-files within mini vMac (since all System6/7-ZIP decompressors I know don't support the...

I'd recommend Terminal 2.2. OpenSource, small, quite fast, scriptable, including ZModem: http://www.knubbelmac.de/software/internet-programme/telnet-ssh-terminal.html#terminal-2.2

Unfortunately it doesn't work for me (Core Duo, Mac OS X 10.6.3, Safari 5). • I installed version 0.1, I've got MacFuse 2.0.3 running. • I choose "HFS" in Disk Utility for a 100 MB disk image, no partition table. • Disk Utility creates the image but complains "could not mount image. No...
