To get stuff this way from Windows 7 to your Mac Plus will require an extra step. Most of the time you will be able to do it on the iMac, until an unpacked file is greater than 1.4MB. The files will be packed as HQX or SIT, so you will also need to transfer an unpacker to the PowerBook. Transfer floppy disk and data to the PowerBook. Format a new floppy disk as HFS on the iMac and copy over the data.Ĥ. Transfer the the USB floppy drive and data to the iMac.ģ. Spend a tenner plus postage for any USB floppy drive. Write the data to a DOS/FAT format floppy on the Windows 7 PC using a USB floppy drive. Off the top of my head, I don't know whether there are any HFS drivers which work with 64 bit Windows.ġ. This would allow you to write HFS (Mac format) floppies. You could try a utility such as MacDrive on the Windows 7 PC. Or maybe somebody local can supply a copy on disk. Over the air and magically, you need to install a utility (eg PC Exchange) which will read DOS/FAT formatted floppy disks on the PowerBook. Being able to run on both my Performa and my PowerBook would be a plus for games, but since my Performa already has tons of games compatibility with black and white displays is way more important to me. So, does anybody have ideas as to where I can find some of these programs, as well as suggestions and recommendations? I want to make the most of my PowerBook.Įdit - Ideally I would like the utilities to work on my Performa too, it doesn't have any either and it would be nice to only need to buy one set of programs. A set of 7.1 installation disks would be great too - I have 7.5 from my Performa, but I think 7.1 looks better with black and white screens. I would ideally like some games that run well on a monochrome screen, as well as some utilities (disk reformatting, optimization/defragmentation, recovering corrupted/deleted files, etc.) and diagnostic tools. It came with Microsoft Word and SimpleText and/or TeachText (too lazy to check right now). It has a black and white screen and runs System 7.1. As some of you know I recently acquired a working PowerBook 145.
