Re: Best Mac to run SD on?

2010-04-12 by esynthesist

I forgot: probably the disks are 800KB Mac disks.
These can't be copied on Windows machines as far as I know, not even by OmniFlop.

So some raw disk copy software on Mac OS 7.x should be used.
Mmm... I have no idea what the best software would be. I'm not a Mac specialist.
Note that just copying the files from the disks is not a good solution: the files will not run without the original disk. 

Anyone has a suggestion to make these raw copies ?

Wondered what the best older mac to do the job was? I can get Pluses, SEs, Classics, PowerPC, and G4s all day just wanted to pick the right one for the job. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I would be running this via serial not MIDI.
