- Hello everyone,
-
- I saw the post on c.o.l.misc the other day about the Executor demo for linux.
- Since I need to run Mac software occasionally for class, I thought it would
- be worth trying out... very nice looking!
-
- Unfortunately, I can't seem to get it to read floppies. I'm not terribly
- Mac savvy, but I followed the instructions in the readme. First, I set
- MacVolumes to be /dev/fd0 (my 1.44 floppy). I then inserted the floppy.
- I then started executor. I then loaded a random app (specifically LazLife)
- and chose HFS_Xfer from the Apple menu. It popped up a dialog, but the
- "drives" button was grayed out. Whenever I chose an option (like Copy Disk)
- it seemed to think my source for the copy was LazLife. How can I get it
- to copy programs from a floppy to the hard disk? Or just run off the floppy?
-
- If I can get this to work, and speed is acceptable, I'd happily purchase the pproduct (and I know some friends who would as well).
-
- I suspect either I'm missing something grossly obvious or this just isn't yet
- implemented. Feel free to respond to me directly, or if you think the
- solution is of general interest (i.e., I'm not just being obtuse) post to the
- mailing list.
-
- Thanks,
-
- Mike
