Listers,
I continue to make progress on resurrecting the Mac Classic known as
Oliver. I found a working 1.4 fd in a Mac Classic II planter and
transplanted it. Memory is up to 4M. There are a StyleWriter II & a CD
300e+ in house that should be functional once I get the right drivers
installed. An 800k external fd and an Asante Mini EN/SC are on the way.
And there's also the Mirror external HD that I mentioned recently.
The Mirror had some software left on it from the previous owner. One
piece was a program called MacCheck - a diagnostic. I ran the program
and it told me that the file system on the in-box HD is corrupted and
suggested that I run Disk First Aid. I installed MacOS 7.1 on the Mirror
and made it the boot disk. Now for the problem.
I need to get a copy of Disk First Aid onto the Mirror so that I can use
it to clean the in-box HD. I do not yet have a net connection to Oliver,
but I do have a working 1.4M floppy drive. I have downloaded Disk First
Aid 6.3 from Apple and Disk Copy and Stuffit Expander and rawrite and
winimage and ... As I read the FAQ, I can build Mac media on my PC, if
I have disk images. But I don't know how to take the small files that
are popping out of the SEAs and HQXs from Apple, put them onto Mac
formatted media, and put the files onto the Mirror drive on Oliver as
executable objects.
HELP!!!!
BTW: At the same time I picked up the Mirror, I acquired a sibling for
Oliver, a Mac SE 4M/800k/20M. I'm looking for naming suggestions. Also
will be looking for advice about setting up an AppleTalk network between
Oliver, the printer, and the SE after I take the time to read 3 Macs & a
Printer.
TIA.
Sp00ky
