SEkingDuck Starting Member 2 Posts	Posted - 11 Jul 2002 : 02:48:57 SEking Duck visit 68K MLA Hotline server and access directories "Operating Systems -> 8.x" to download System 8.1. SEking Duck use PC to write 8.1 files to CD and use on Mac. Problem being now the filetype and creator values are needed. Someone who has files on their system: pleased to tell me what correct filetype and creator values for the specific file under the name "Mac OS 8.1 Multi-Install.img". This way SEking Duck can use 8.1. Many appreciated, thanks.

MrLynn Junior Member USA 394 Posts	Posted - 11 Jul 2002 : 15:32:08 Apologies if I have maligned honorable gentleman from foreign country, still learning English (as Charlie Chan might say). The use of correctly-structured phrases like 'the filetype and creator values are needed' threw me off, thinking it was an 'All your base' put-on. Sorry. /Mr Lynn PS Can someone actually answer his question?

oldmacman Full Member USA 713 Posts	Posted - 12 Jul 2002 : 07:24:20 Okay. The file is a disk image, basically every block of the original OS 8.1 CD written to a file. You don't burn the image file onto the CD-ROM, because then the CD-ROM won't be bootable. Instead, you burn the disk image. I'm not sure how to burn a Mac CD on a PC, but I'd bet you would choose the option in your CD burning software to burn a raw device image.

cinemafia Guerrilla Recon Leader USA 2965 Posts	Posted - 12 Jul 2002 : 08:35:56 I need a new copy of the 8.0/8.1 full install because the OS on my Quadra 840av got corrupted, and I'm having a hard time, myself. I tried downloading the 8.1 installer from our main Hotline server (68k.torpedobird.com) and it won't mount, it seems to be corrupted or incomplete. Also, I can't get onto Quadra's mirror server (68k.dyndns.com) because it says the network address is invalid...what's gives?? 666th poster and 666th thread-creator Mod of the Mac II series Forums Total 68K Macs liberated: 7 I Have No Legs!
