I have an old pagemaker program on floppies and wish to install it on another Mac. How can I do this since my Mac does not have a floppy drive. While trying to install from the zip drive where I have copied the disks, it keeps asking for disk 1. Any sugestions to getting around this other than getting another floppy drive for my Mac?
First thing that comes to mind is to make a disk image and transfer the contents to it, calling it disk 1 or whatever. Same with the contents of any other disks that make up the program.
This is not a perfect way as some installers look for a physical disk in the floppy drive.
Floppies still have life in them regardless of what some idiot says, much like crt's but thats for another list. ;)
