If you have one of these system versions, but not a set of floppies, have you checked whether the Apple File Exchange application possibly is somewhere on the hard disk (or if there is a set of system disk images there)? If System 7.5.x is installed, the PC Exchange control panel should be there (just make sure that it is in the right place, and active).

The Tidbits diskette was one of the floppies in the System 7.0.1 or 7.1 set of disks. Thanks!įirst of all, which exact system version is installed on the Classic II?

Is there a utility out there that allows modern Macs to read HFS formatted disks?.But these floppies won't mount on the iMac running MacOS 10.15, because modern MacOS doesn't support the old HFS disk format. Here are the challenges with each method, and the questions we need answered:įloppy Drive: We can write from the Classic to a 3.5" 1.5MB floppy, which the Classic II formats in HFS format. Network the two Macs together and transfer files over the network.īut both approaches are harder than they look.Copy files from the Classic onto a floppy disk and read them using a USB floppy disk attached to the iMac.We're trying to figure out how to get files from that old Mac to a modern iMac running MacOS 10.15 Catalina.Īs near as we can tell, we have two options: We have an old Macintosh Classic II (circa 1992!) in good working condition.
