I'm only 13 years old, but I'm still trying hard to get my old
Macintosh sorta up-to-date in web capabilities. I've read articles, some on
lowerendmacs.com, about getting an old 68000 CPU Macintosh (That's what I've
got) hooked up to the internet with web browsing. (MacWeb 1-2.0)
I've got the TCP/IP connection, but I can't do anything with it. All I
have as far as downloading capabilities is a 150mhz Windows 2000 computer,
and a really really slow Earthlink modem server on a 56k modem. (Supposed to
be 28.6Kbps connection, but downloads run at an average of 2.6kbps after
about ten minutes, but starting with a boost of abou 25kbps) And of course,
all downloads are compressed, so when I download something for Mac on
Windows, and transfer it to the Mac via floppy, my old Macintosh SE FDHD (On
Mac v7.5) has nothing to decompress it with. And of course, when Windows
decompresses it, it loses it's Mac format. I tried getting my neighbor to
help me by downloading it with his iMac and giving to me on a disk, but he
couldn't understand the problem, much less give a solution. I've tried
downloading Macintosh decompression tools with my Windows 2000, but they're
all compressed. I'm planning on getting an old PowerMac 7100 off of
PowerMax.com in a few weeks, and it would have internet access. (I've got an
old 36kbps modem for Mac I saved from our last PowerMac) But in the meantime,
is there anything you know that could help me with transfering Macintosh web
files to a Windows via download, then to Macintosh via 3.5" floppy? If not,
I'll just wait for a modern Mac to help, but if so, please offer any help you
can give.
