Re: Getting SHK and SDK files into Sweet16

[Steven Nelson <steven-nelson@uiowa.edu>]

My approach to importing files (.shk .bxy .txt etc.) into Sweet16 is
to use a disk image (.dmg) formatted in Mac OS Standard format (HFS to
GS/OS).  Open dmg on Mac, copy files in, eject.  Start Sweet16 and
drag dmg onto cleverport, which will then mount in GS/OS.  Copy or
extract files from mounted image onto other image volumes (ProDOS or
HFS).  BTW this will not work for OSX greater than 10.5.x .  Standard
HFS is read only in 10.6 and I think not supported at all in 10.7 or
higher.  Bummer.  I will stay with 10.4 and 10.5 on my Macs.

I have never been able to get SAFE2 to connect to the same or other
Mac in Sweet16.  I can get the TCP control panel to connect to the
internet (it says connected), but SAFE2 can never get connected.  I
don't know what is wrong.  SAFE2 works great on my uthernet GS, but
never under Sweet16.  I need real idiot proof instructions I guess on
running SAFE2 under Sweet16.  I am using SAFE2 v2.2.2 (upgraded from
v2.1.8), Sweet16LL  v1.0.1b2 and Sweet16 v2.2.1 under OSX 10.4.11.

I hope Ewen software works better for you.  It really would be the
easiest way to import files to GS/OS under any OSX.  I just don't get
how to make it work. ;-(
