Hello,
I have an Albook running OS X 10.2.3. I just got an old Pentium II with no OS. I have a DOS boot disk and some utilities on floppies, and a Gentoo distro that runs off the CD. But I'm wondering if there's a way to download drivers, or other files, for Dos/Win/PC linuxes with my Mac, and transfer them (eg, on a CD) to the PC in a form that a PC-compatible OS can recognize.
Yes, you need to burn the CD-R/RW in either ISO9660 or Joliet format. (Joliet is a layer on top of ISO to support long filenames.)
I dunno if OSX has built in support for Joliet CDs.
For other media, the Mac can read and write to PC formatted media. I dunno if OSX automatically creates desktop and other folders on PC media like 9.2.2 and older did.
(I don't have the pieces to get my 7300/200 into the shape needed to hack/install OSX onto it yet. ;-)
I've done this using the built-in burning software on 10.2.8, and a Yamaha 16x CD-RW drive. So far, so good. Long filenames have been preserved when reading it on the PC.
