I've got a Color Classic networked over Ethernet to my Mac Mini. I enable the FTP server on the Mini and then run Fetch or Transmit on the Color Classic to transfer the files.
I'm also using a USB Zip drive attached to my Mini and a SCSI Zip drive attached to my Color Classic. I also have a USB floppy drive attached to the Mini. The key with both the Zip disks and the floppy disks is to format them for MS-DOS as the more recent versions of OS X will only read from HFS formatted media and not write to them. OS X will however read and write to MS-DOS formatted media. The trick then is to compress your files into zip or sit archives before tranferring them to the MS-DOS formatted media and then unzip or unstuff them after you transfer them to your classic Mac. This is necessary because the MS-DOS formatted media does not support both forks of Mac files and because MS-DOS does not support the naming conventions of the Mac. Files not zipped or stuffed will lose their resource fork and file names get truncated. -- -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
