Copying files from modern Mac to LC III - Help
« on: May 19, 2011, 07:04:16 PM »
I want to copy some games to my Macintosh LC III using CD-ROM

The Macintosh is system 7.1 OS and has a SCSI CD-ROM drive.

I followed these instructions (link below) to burn a cd using my PowerMac (Leopard)

http://main.system7today.com/articles/tutorials/osxos7cdburning.html

The LC III reads the cd and sees the files but they do not open on the LC III.

I tried opening them using Stuffit 4.0 (On the LC III) but it just does not see them. Its as though (i dont understand) the files were broken when copying them to cd.

They are .sit files

I understand Amigas, Modern Macs and PCs but i am a total noob with this System 7 thingy so any help will be appreciated.  :)

The software is old games which are for 68K macs not PPC.

I think the file may be broken because when i was using a floppy disk to copy stuffit using Macdisk on XP it asked a question about the integrity (not quite the word) but something about the file structure and when i clicked YES the Stuffit file would Not run.

When i said NO the file did run on the Mac.

There must be something incompatible in the file structures that may be damaging the file when i copy it from my OS X Leopard PPC machine to CD.

Basically i need some sort of guide to get software onto the LC III seeing that it has no LAN or USB and floppy disks are too small to carry anything larger than 1.4mb.
