Another dumb newbie question
I finally figured a decent way to shuffle files to my Apples: I have a
resurected Focus drive on my ROM 01 and have it netoworked to an ancient IIce
Mac I got for 10 bucks at Goodwill. The Mac's drive was toast...but... I
have a 300 meg SCSI CDC drive that came out of an old PDP11 (probably cost 10
grand new and is the size of a PC case and hand built) Modem is on PC. soo
what I do: D/l on PC. turn off. Plug in CDC on PC SCSI bus. Boot. use a
progy called TransMac to copy the files to the CDC. Turn off. Plug into Mac.
Boot. Copy to Focus on GS via Appletalk. In spite of the multi-system shuffle
(did I mention the PC is on 98 but accesses the internet via an internal net
off a Linux gateway?, it is a kluge but functional...
Here is my silly question: I got many files that when I try to unshrink I get
"missing header" or other such errors. A good example are the Focus utilities
from the Alltech site or also Marinetti from appe2.org. I have repeatedly
attempted doownloads (in case my copy was bad) and it has not worked. Any
ideas?
