If you have access to, or could borrow, an older Windows PC with a built-in floppy drive (running something like Windows 95, 98 or XP), you may want to try the following procedure. This is necessary when a PC is involved, but can also be advantageous whenever old Macintosh application files are handled by a Mac OS X computer.Ī way of obtaining a working StuffIt Expander 4.0.1 for the SE/30: hqx until on an old Mac (the SE/30 here). The file can normally still be decompressed via StuffIt Expander.
Alternatively, if the SE/30 contains an operating system with either the Apple File Exchange application (on the System 7.0.1 or 7.1 Tidbits system disk) or the PC Exchange control panel (part of System 7.5.x), plain transfers could take place on PC-formatted 1.44 MB disks.Īn sea file (not protected by a MacBinary or BinHex encoding) may become damaged in transit, removing the self-expanding properties. If you just want to transfer files to an SE/30 (with a working system) on Mac-formatted 1.44 MB floppies, a Windows utility like MacDrive or TransMac could help (but make sure that it is a version that still supports floppy disks). If you wish to create bootable (sector-copied from disk images) 1.44 MB Mac floppies on a Windows computer (preferably an old PC with a built-in floppy drive, running something like Windows 95 to XP), there are special techniques using a combination of a PC version of Aladdin/StuffIt Expander and a disk image utility such as WinImage. One way could possibly be a workaround via Windows.
First of all, would it be correct to assume that the Macintosh SE/30 does not contain a working operating system? If so, you would have to to create bootable floppies.
