Getting some classic software on my Classic II

Getting some classic software on my Classic II Software 2 posts Feb 14, 2015 — Feb 15, 2015
Greetings all-

I'm trying to get some classics from macintoshgarden.org to my newly restored Classic II. I have lots of pieces to the puzzle but no clear solution:

-An Apple CD-ROM drive connected to the Classic II that reads Mac OS Standard discs

-An iMac with the ability to burn Mac OS Standard CDs (thanks to the Burn app)

-A USB floppy drive connected to the iMac. Since Mac OS X doesn't support Mac OS Standard, I can only write to a PC formatted disk

So far I have been able to burn disks that the Classic can read just fine, but it thinks all the files are text documents. I thought I could burn Stuffit compressed files to a CD (to preserve the resource fork info), but I need Stuffit Expander on the Classic, and every time I try to get that over there it mistakes the .sea file as text. Grrr.

I feel like I'm getting closer, but not quite all the way there. I welcome any advice. Thanks!

Bill
