Re: Transferring 800k SHK files ... ?!

["GarberStreet" <willy46pa@comcast.net>]

Hi Craig,

: I've been perusing the CSA2 FAQs and looking to try
: System 6.0.1 out on my GS. problem is - how do I get
: the downloaded *.SDK files onto an 800k floppy in a
: state that I can use them to install 6.0.1 onto a partition
: on my CFFA?

The simplest and most efficient way is to have someone
write the disks and mail them to you, however, my IIgs's
are all down for the meantime, and I can do it as soon as
I get one up and running. I charge $6.50 for the set and this
includes shipping to the USA. More for foreign orders.

: The Stats: - I'm trying to use a clone PC to make disks
: for my IIgs which has an 800k 3.5" and the usual assortment
: of 5.25" drives.

Nothing on a PC will write these GS/OS disks that can be
read on a IIgs.

: Mac Drive looks like a good solution, but will it format 800K
: Mac Disks that a GS can read under ProDOS 8?  Also how
: would I get the downloaded *.SDK files onto the HFS formatted
: Mac disks after a format?  I.E. what PC software could I use to
: unshrink an SDK onto a floppy?

Again, the IIgs cannot boot an HFS disk. You must have the real
Apple IIgs formatted disks. I can do this for you. $6.50 will get
them for you.  :o)

: Any help, MUCHO appreciated!

I hope this has helped you.
