Hi gang, this should be easy. I want to send a program written for mac OS 7.5 - 9.2.2 to a couple of buddies of mine that are running old Mac 8100's, one of them is using OS 8.6, I think the other one is the same. These folks are not techinclally savvy, so I'm looking to do this the easiest way as possible. These machines are not networked, not sure I have the time to show them how to do that! The program file in question is a .hqx file, so I thought that I would start by doing the decompression myself on my G4, and then burning the uncompressed files to a CD and mailing it to them.
I am a windows user, I can burn a cd no problem from that machine, which is networked to the mac through DAVE (on 9.2.2), or I can use OS- X as well. I'm not sure, but I don't think the mac G4 Digital Audio has a burner in it, I think it's just a reader. So,,, Can I just create a windows formatted CD, will that be read in Os 8.6, or do I need to format that CD to a Mac style format, somehow from windows, assuing I have to do this on the windows machine? The other option is a little flash drive, would that be simpler, will a 500mb flash drive 'work' in these older machines, or will I have to get them to install drivers etc etc. in which case it's probably not worth going that route. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
