Hi All,
I've recently bought a Power Macintosh 7600. It came with a littleJoe/Joecard 233Mhz Cpu card. I found an old thread about it here...
https://68kmla.org/bb/threads/joecard-manual-software.40957/
The complete software CD is there but I'm having the same issue is the last person who posted there. FYI I'm a complete Mac noob, I've never used one of these old Mac's before. It came with the German version of MacOS 8.6 installed. I've installed a BlueSCSI and got the English version of MacOS 8.6 installed so it's a nice clean system now. I did manage to find the CPU extension and control panel software (apologies if that's the wrong terminology, still learning my Mac lingo) in the old German install and have transferred to the clean install drive. It does seem to be working, I'm seeing the 'littleJoe' banner while the system is booting up. It seems to be nice and snappy. The version of the software I have is older than the version posted in the thread above so I'd like to install the newer one.
The system doesn't seem to know what the installer is when I try running it. Could someone who is familiar with Mac's take a look at the installer from the above thread and let me know what I do with that kind of file? Again, apologies for what might seem like a completely stupid question. I have zero clue how these systems work.
Thanks in advance
