![]() ![]() In this case,you should first uncompress it on a modern Macintosh(or with Stuffit Expander for Windows version 7as described below).On the other hand, old archives might not be understoodby modern software, so you sometimes need to try both ways. Update - Macintosh OS X 10.6.0 and later can no longer write to HFS disks or disk images. (It is still possible to mount them read only.) The main work around is to use ImportFl (along with tools to create an archive that preserves resource forks and other Macintosh specific information).Ěnother possibility is to run a different emulator that can work both with HFS and HFS+ disk images (such as Basilisk II or Sheepshaver, according to David Sibley).Ěnd another possibility is Jesús A. Álvarez's FuseHFS.Ěnd there is HFS Disk Maker by Charles (author of Pacifist). Still another possibility is that if you have a file that is already on a 1.4M HFS floppy disk, and have a USB floppy drive, then Disk Utility can make an image of the floppy, and that image can be used with Mini vMac. Renaming a disk image to end in '.dmg' (not '.dsk')makes it directly mountable in recent versionsof Mac OS X. Here are the steps to transfer a file into anew disk image: The "SetFType.dimg" version of" SetFType"makes disk images directly mountable in Mac OS 9,and early versions of OS X. Get a new " blank" disk image, large enough to hold the file. Rename the new disk image to end in '.dmg'. In OS 9 or earlier (and some early version of OS X) drag it onto " SetFType.dimg", to make it mountable. (When SetFType works, it may not be necessary to rename the image to end in '.dmg', but it doesn't hurt.)ĭouble click on the disk image to mount it. The icon should show up on the desktop (and in OS X, the top level computer folder), named 'untitled'.ĭrag the file you want to transfer onto this mounted volume.Įject this mounted volume, such as by dragging its icon to the trash. (It is very important to remember to do this in Mac OS X, because the operating system allows two programs to open the same file for writing, with no way for the programs to prevent it, a really bad design. Two different programs mounting a disk image file for writing will usually cause irreparable corruption.) Mac os 9 basilisk ii disc mac os# You can now mount the disk image file in Mini vMac, such as by dragging its icon into the Mini vMac window. There are many reports that "SetFType.dimg" fails tomake an image mountable on Intel Macintoshes (andI've observed this myself). An alternative is to renamethe disk image to end in '.dmg' (not '.dsk'). However,there is also one report of this failing also.įor OS 9 and earlier, mounting a disk image requiresthe application "Disk Copy". It is included withsome versions of the OS, but if you don't haveit installed you can download Disk Copy 6.3.3from Apple. ![]()
