Here's the situation. I downloaded many files with .SIT extension on my Linux box. I want to burn make a CD of these files so I can tranfer them to my old Macs without losing the file type. If i just burn normally, the mac won't recognize the creator for the files and StuffitExpander won't even decompress the files. The question is how to create a HFS CD that preserves the file creator properties so that I can use my linux to download mac software and burn them to CD so I can use them on my macs?

burning HFS CD for old mac

Versions of Toast for use with 68k Macs up to OS 8.0 knew no format but HFS. When time and Toast moved on to the Newer World of HFS+ (OS 8.1 and up) for 040 and 60x Macs, the choice was offered between HFS (default) and HFS+. Toast for OS X still offers the choice (up to Toast 6 for sure), and HFS is still desirable for CDs to be read in any Mac running OS 9 or lower. Low burn speeds may also be necessary for some of the Ancient Macs.
