Copying sound files from a Centris 610
Posted by: jbezozo on 2025-06-04 10:46:36
I have a Centris 610 with audio files that I would love to move to my current iMac. These are Star Wars audio clips that are used for various tasks, like starting or closing a program or throwing away trash files, etc. This was my computer from college in the early 90s and I still have the 3.5" disks from AudioClips with all the sound files. But I can't figure out how to move the sounds to my current computer. Any one know if this is even possible? Thanks

What format are the sound files saved in? What type of computer are you trying to transfer them to?

Thanks for the reply. My monitor is turning on but nothing on my screen. I'll have to fix that before I can determine the file format.

Are these this? https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/audioclips-star-wars-trilogy

If they are, that's probably an easier way to transfer them 🙂

These are the disks and the sound files I'm looking for.

It would be nice to get the Centris fixed, but just to get at the contents of its hard drive, you could buy a ZuluSCSI/BlueSCSI, put it in initiator mode, and it will dump the whole hard drive to an SD card as a disk image without the assistance of the old Mac (except perhaps as a power supply).
