(I tried starting these emulators when the CD was already in the drive, no chance.) DMG copy of the CD, or a copy of the files, I can open and run the Installer successfully in the beginning (with Sheepshaver / System 9 and Basilisk II / System 7), but after a few registration steps, the installer program asks me to insert the CD and fails to recognise it. None of these recognise the CD ("disk is unreadable). On the iMac, I have SheepShaver with OS 9, Basilisk with OS 7 and Mini vMac. When I try to launch the installer CD in the Classic environment, the top menu bar becomes grey and Classic freezes, so I think this CD can only run on machines earlier than 9.2 / 9.0, such as 7 or 8.
I have two partitions on the Powerbook, one with OS X 10.3 that can run Classic (Mac OS 9.2), and one with OS X 10.5.3 (most recent possible system for this machine), this way I can go back and forth systems.
#MINI VMAC ROM WITH OS7 FOR MAC OS#
So, the software I am trying to install is on three different CD-ROMS hat are designed for Mac OS 6/7/8. I opened another discussion about how one might open these rare / old file formats on today's machines but it doesn't seem to be possible. I have tried opening the font files in OS X with almost every font program available (FontBook, FontDoctor, FontForge, FontLab, Fontographer, TransType4.) and have come to believe that they can only be viewed on an older system for which they were designed. This software contains old fonts in a very rare format, which I would like to be able to watch / install / convert (eventually). I am trying to install old software on my either one of my Macs (Powerbook G4 and iMac 21.5 from 2011).
