![]() ![]() Lol I get mad when people get mad for no good reason. I'll have to look at how OSX builds those from the pieces of the HFS files and then make equivalent code in the filesystem. Well, MAYBE I might be able to work those into the memstick filesystem. Those are OSX structures and won't work on older Macs. Sorry, I was particularly ornery then because I hadn't had any coffee in hours and was going through withdrawal. You can be really mean sometimes you know! Not everybody knows everything! and what the hell do you mean by wasting bandwidth?! Aren't we all doing it? They're completely different things handled in completely different ways.ĭennis96411 wrote:The flippin' HELL "********" and "_********" is "folder_name" and "_MACOSX". Can't help you unless you know what you have. bin files binhex files, or binary images? If you don't know, your first step is to find out. you need to be more specific about what you have, and what you're trying to do. I might have to get some of those, but I don't think it's worth the trouble. I thought 7.6 came on a CD, infact it does! When something finally goes wrong, just go back one step on the backups. Make periodic backups as you install stuff. That's one of the major advantages of having a hardfile - easy backup. ![]() Once you've installed the OS on a hardfile, immediately make an archive of it so that WHEN the OS finally becomes too corrupt to run anymore, all you have to do is unarc the backup instead of reinstall. If this was a CD that came with a Mac instead of a generic one designed for any Mac, it likely won't work (but it would still TRY to boot - you'd get a Happy Mac, then a crash).ĮDIT: one reminder to people that we used to tell folks back on FUSION on the Amiga - these old versions of Mac OS are FRAGILE. I have a CD that came with my Performa that only works on that specific model of Performa. For example, the 7.5.x OS that people recommend you get off the net comes as MANY floppies, not a CD.Īlso, some of those old CDs were SPECIFIC to the Mac it came with. 7.x was still very dependent on floppies.

I have MANY 7.x update CDs that you put in while running your old OS version to update, but absolutely no bootable 7.x CDs.
