Re: Mac Quadra 760 and System 7.5 I'm A Newbie with MACS
I have a Mac Quadra 700 W/System 7.5. I also have a Apple Color Stylewriter 2400 and 2 ImageWriter II's. I need to find the Install floppies for them so I can try them with the 700. It curently has a Laserwriter Plus on the Desktop. Can that be uninstalled?? I also have a USR Sportster 28.8 external with cables. Got to find a Power Pack can't determine voltage. The 700 is set up with Power Talk but don't have the Key Chain Code to unlock with. I have several PC's [XT's thru Pentium I's] and 22Disk can I transfer from PC to Mac Floppies???

I need to find the Install floppies for them so I can try them with the 700. Under the Apple Menu, drop down to Chooser. See if icons for the Imagewriter or stylewriter appear. If so, the drivers are installed. Just click on the onw you want to use, then click on the port they are connected to and close the Chooser. You should have Extensions Manager under the Apple Menu, Control Panels. You may have the drivers installed, but unchecked. If present, check them and restart the computer. See if the printers show up in the Chooser. If no luck, the drivers can be downloaded from the Apple Website. If no luck there, ask again and I or someone else can email them to you. It curently has a Laserwriter Plus on the Desktop. Can that be uninstalled?? It is probably an alias (shortcut). Drag it to the trash. I also have a USR Sportster 28.8 external with cables. Got to find a Power Pack can't determine voltage. Thought I had a USR modem around here, but if so, can't lay my hands on it just now, sorrry. The 700 is set up with Power Talk but don't have the Key Chain Code to unlock with. It's been a LONG time since I played, briefly, with PowerTalk. I suspect you can just uncheck all PowerTalk named items in the Extensions Manager and reboot. Save memory. I have several PC's [XT's thru Pentium I's] and 22Disk can I transfer from PC to Mac Floppies??? Well, you should be able to read PC floppies on the Mac, but it is MUCH more of a problem the other way around. Do the downloads to the PC, stick the floppy in the Mac and save to the Mac Hard Drive.

I need to find the Install floppies for them so I can try them with the 700. Download the 7.5.3 19 part Self Mounting Image and the 7.5.5 update floppy Disk Copy images from Apple. To use the 7.5.3, put all the parts in one folder then doubleclick the first part to mount the image. If you have the room or something like a Zip drive you can copy the files from the image. The 7.5.5 update can be copied to floppies. Drivers for all the printers you mentioned are part of the 7.5.3 install. I have several PC's [XT's thru Pentium I's] and 22Disk can I transfer from PC to Mac Floppies??? Try TransMac for Windows. The demo is limited to transferring files small enough to fit on a 1.44M floppy. Download on your PC in .bin or .hqx encoding and TransMac can decode as it copies to the Mac floppy. The only way available to read/write 400 or 800K Mac floppies on a PC is with the catweasel disk controller. Used to be made as an ISA card and now is made in a PCI version. It also enables direct reading of Amiga floppies and other odd formats. If anyone cared to do it, I bet there's a way to rip low density Mac disks to image files by connecting a Mac drive to a PC parallel or serial port. I ran across a way to do same with Amiga disks by interfacing an Amiga drive to a PC parallel port. Read only and only copies the entire disk, but works to get software for the Amiga Emulator. There used to be a device called the Central Point Option Board which plugged inline between your PC's floppy controller and the floppy drive. It hasn't been made in several years and I doubt it works in anything but DOS. = It's total Fandemonium! http://www.fandemonium.org __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
