Getting Stuffit on a Mac
Posted by: offensive_jerk on 2009-11-23 19:01:01
So I just got a IIci running System 7.1.

I managed to get it booting again. It had the issue with the folder and question mark. Anyway, I fixed that.

Now, I want to put an ethernet card in, but the drivers are in *.sea.hqx format.

My problem is, I only have one Mac and the rest of my computers are PC's.

I have Stuffit 2010 on my PC.

I tried to look for some older versions of Stuffit, but they all appear to be larger than a floppy in size, so I cannot transfer them over. Also they are compressed, and I have no way to extract them on the Mac.

Can someone please assist?

This is a GREAT guide for a person who owns a "only Mac".

I can create the PC Exchange disk using those tools, however when I copy it to my control panel I get error messages.

"PC Exchange is not installed, copy this to your control panels folder and restart."

I can not get around this....

Also, that page references a Stuffit image, but it's not available to download there....

The stuffit I got from http://www.emaculation.com/basilisk/stuffit_expander_55.bin worked.

I had to download a different PC exchange and that worked now.
