pme Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 Hi, i'm struggeling with this stuff. I'm able to copy files (.sit, .bin, .img.... ) on a high density formatted floppy hfs disk via my PC under Win10 and macdisk tool. I need an executable of stuffit v4.0 (for my os6.03 classic mac). But the only image that i found of it is .sit, .img, .bin (compressed with stuffit). This is the snake that eats his tail. Any help would be appreciated Thanks in advance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Torbar Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 If you have the .img, that's a floppy disk image, so you should be able to write it to a floppy disk. Not sure if Macdisk Tool supports writing floppy images to disks, but give the steps on this page a try to use WinImage https://www.classic-computers.org.nz/blog/2011-12-29-disk-from-images-mac.htm From my experience, copying the executables directly between Windows and Mac, not using .img files, doesn't seem to go well because of resource fork stuff.

Realitystorm Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 (edited) You should use something like basilisk ii on your Windows machine to setup you floppy disk image before you write it to a real floppy. http://www.savagetaylor.com/2018/01/19/setting-up-your-vintage-classic-68k-macintosh-using-basilisk-ii/ Edited January 24 by Realitystorm Typo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pme Posted January 24 Author Report Share Posted January 24 My stuffit .img is in fact a stuffit compressed file Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Realitystorm Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 My guides includes links to hard drive images you can use with basilisk II, these hard drive images have stuffit expander already pre-installed, and you can install any other software you need in Basilisk II as a virtual mac to get yourself setup. Then transfer what you need to, using basilisk II, via floppy, or some other transfer method. I list several on my site.
