[q] Zip conundrum

2004-09-16 Thread Ben Berry
The only way I can seem to get a Zip disk to share between a Quadra 610 running 7.5.5 and BW 10.3 is to use FAT formated disks. Anyone know a better way? -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and... Small Dog Electronicshttp://www.smalldog.com | Enter To Win A | -- Canon

7.5 is hfs while 10.x is hfs+ or ufs. if you are trying to take files to 7.5 from 10.x then format drive w/7.5. since i don't have my beige g3 handy, does the floppy work in os 10.x? A vague spark in the back of my brain says no. charles lenington Ben Berry wrote: The only way I can seem to

I know all about the hfs+ issue and thats not it. If i format it hfs on the 7.5.5 machine OS X tells me it unreadable, and visa versa. OS X supports USb floppies and recall there is a hack to get internal ones to work but no OS X supported machine has a floppy drive except the beige g3 right?

another thing to try, if this is a one shot attempt, is to put the hard drive in the g3 to copy files to as a test. also, i wonder if the zip drivers for 7.5 and 9/X had a big change? or try another drive to copy files to and temporarily replace the q610 cdrom drive while moving files. charles L

[q] Legality of imaging OEM software

I was wondering how legal it is to aquire a backup of the OEM cd that came with the 840av (which I do not have since it is second hand). The OS was 7.1 pro (I think) which I don't think is available from Apples website (they skipped over it). I believe the CD that shipped was specific for the
