Full-Name: Kirk D. Garber Subject: transferring a MAC driver file downloaded on the PC to my mac in a form that my MAC LC II can recognize as a MAC file Question - I had a MAC LC II with a CD drive that worked great. When I put in a CD, it would obediently pop up on the desktop like a floppy disk! It was great! Unfortunately, the Mac died on me and I got rid of it and made the horrible mistake of giving the CD drive to a friend- who promptly ripped it out of its external housing so he could use it internally in his Amiga. In the process, unfortunately, he broke the plug or whatever on the inside of the housing so I couldn't use it externally anymore. Anyway, later I got this second LC II which has (if I'm reading it right) 4M Ram on it and 8M with RamDoubler, and I have a NEC MultiSpin SCSI CD Drive(uses caddies) and a US Robotics Sportster 28.8 Modem for Mac's, and I would like to use the modem to get some more software(shareware) for my MAC, but it doesn't work with the only terminal software I have on the mac now, which is the terminal thing in Works. I have a CD full of modem stuff that came with the modem but can't access CDs except in NU, and in there I can't run programs, copy them, etc. The CD player works fine in NU, but doesn't "pop up on the desktop like a floppy" like my old one did. Anyway, I'm using OS 7.5.3 and maybe bits of 7.5.5 (I had problems upgrading my OS- which may be my whole problem- but the Mac works great otherwise!). I hope you can help me, I'm a PC man at heart and have been for years, I'm just kinda playing around with this thing for a "change of scenery", so I'm pretty clueless when it comes to Mac's. Also, I have some kinda nice Mac software that I don't have on the PC. Now if I could just get my hands on a MAC printer for next to nothing! Anyway, I downloaded a driver(from the Mac Driver Museum) on my PC, but am clueless about how to get my Mac to recognize it as a MAC file, and where to put it. If you can help me, I'd really appreciate it.
