So, I have an SE/30 in excellent condition, with a 230MB drive, running 6.08. I have a USB floppy drive on my PC, and I figured out the whole vMac/HFVExplorer/MacDrive thing.
However, I just bought a box of floppies (for the first time in at least 15 years!), and they will not format in either the SE/30 (initialization fails) or the USB floppy drive (using MacDrive's HFS format option). These disks do say "IBM-formatted" (which I assume means FAT), but I need HFS in order to get System 6.08 to see them (and to transfer files without losing resource forks). So, what's the solution here? I can't find any HFS-formatted disks online (and if I could, wouldn't they be at least a decade old?), and the SE/30 has no other method of file transfer (can 6.08. use CD-ROM drives?). Ethernet is not a solution, because the eBay options are both rare and over-priced. Anyway, help in transferring files would be appreciated. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
