2Qs: mount //e HD on Mac, Binscii
Two questions for you Apple //e gurus (which I used to be back in like 8th
grade ;) ) --
1) I have a CMS 62 Mb hard drive, SCSI, formatted into two partitions (one 32
Mb, the other something like 29 7/8 Mb), and used to be chock full of Apple
stuff (I had to empty it for my mother before I went to college). Anyway, I
have tried hooking up this drive directly to my PowerMac 7100, with all those
Dataviz Translators and Maclink Plus and PC Exchange installed, and I've used
several mounting utilities... is there any way to mount this as an Apple
Prodos volume on the Mac's desktop? It would be a lot nicer in copying over
the files from the hard drive rather than copying them to the 800k
floppies, then copying them onto the Mac. How about one of those PC mounting
programs that mount PC hard drives onto your Mac's desktop?
2) I have a bunch of old, uh, pseudo-hacking/cracking utilities that I think
people would get a kick out of (a modem-redialer that only works with Hayes
modems and calls up numbers that use touch-tone access, and never worked with
my Hayes-compatible; graphics transitions especially useful for people
installing boot images in cracks (remember Tom E. Hawk Boot?), and maybe one or
two other things). I doubt these are of any use today, but they're kind of
funny to look at, and I'd like to upload them to the internet... The only way
I can accomplish this is by using that Binscii program, I guess... is there
anyway way to get that from my mac to my apple and have it still work? My
apple can't log into our univ's Kermit server any more because they upgraded
their version of Kermit. Is Binscii available as a text file that you can use
the INIT command with and it writes the binary for you?
Thanks a lot if you can help out! Later,
