Ok, I've got a CD-RW drive in this computer, and I've been downloading a few old Mac games, which I run under the Basilisk II emulator. Now I've got an old Apple 68040 in the basement(no internet connection), with a CD-ROM drive, and very little installed on it. Is there a way, via Basilisk II or some other program, that I can make a CD the older computer can read?
Performa 630CD-
33mhz 68040
8Mb RAM
256Mb HD
Mac OS 7.5
2x CD-ROM drive
You can try to make 700Mb HFS file (*.hfv) with HFVExplorer, fill it with whatever you want and burn that file as mode1/2048 image (you can
rename it to *.iso or select it in Nero as "any file"
BTW you don't have to make it 700Mb - any size not bigger than CD-R size is ok.
Just tried to create 30Mb HFS file, copied minimal MacOS 8.1 system folder and burned a CDRW - i was able to boot from it.
Nothing special, just plain magic
Also you can install ISO9660 and Joliet support extensions and read PC CDs on your Mac
Yo can also format/read/write 1.44Mb Mac floppies with HFVExplorer.
P.S. You can replace your 2x CD-ROM with any newer SCSI CD-ROM or CD-RW drive.
You can also add more memory, AFAIK Performa 630 uses ordinary 72pin SIMMs.
There's no problem with any SCSI-2 Ultra HDD (My Quadra950 - 128Mb RAM, 2x 4.3G IBM DCAS-4330 HDDs)
