Re: [emax] Just got my mac classic II

2011-11-29 by Johnny Tomasello

I'd actually like to know the answer to this as well.  Ever since Mac OS Snow Leopard they've disabled copying to (but not from) disks formatted on older systems.  I've tried SCSI as well as floppy, without luck.  The only thing I could get to work was formatting the disk as an old PC format, but then the older Mac truncates the files to 8 letter names with 3 letter extensions.

It did used to be as easy as formatting the disk and putting it in the new Mac to transfer files.  I haven't tried Ethernet, but there's no reason to think that would work either.
