Anyone with a Mac "Bridge" machine able to make a 400k disk
I was hoping to get the serial to Mac 128/512k transfer disk from tck8800.com on a 400k floppy so I don't have to get a bridge machine going forward. Once I have a copy of that disk and an rs422 to rs232 cable I can just use my modern MacBook Pro to transfer files and disk images. Thanks, Corey corey cohen uǝɥoɔ ʎǝɹoɔ
Corey, I can get the image to 400k floppy for you. The link from your email doesn't work so let me know exactly what image you want. I'm assuming it's the macterminal_binhex5_bootdisk one from his image archive. http://tkc8800.com/post/macintosh-128k-512k-400k-disk-images Tony Sent from my iPhone

Yep that's the disk. Once I have a real copy in 3.5" 400k. I'll make a few spares then going forward I'm set to transfer data up and back. corey cohen uǝɥoɔ ʎǝɹoɔ

I'll get it done tomorrow. Moved my macs out to storage while I was cleaning and testing all the Apple II machines for VCF, gotta start putting everything back the way it belongs tonight! Once I have it done we will figure out the easiest way to get it to you. Tony Sent from my iPhone

No, it doesn't need to plug in internally. Just with a 128k you won't be able to mount hard drive images. I use it externally with my 128k. On Mon, Apr 3, 2017 at 5:06 PM Tony Bogan via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

Do you hook it up to the port on the back? I read the PDF and it implied it had to be connected to the internal disk cable. corey cohen uǝɥoɔ ʎǝɹoɔ

Hey Corey, i could make you up a disk. The easiest way to transfer software to your 128 though would be the FloppyEmu by Big Mess O Wires. Those little things sitting on top of a few of the Apple II's on our display. With that unit, all you'd have to do would be to copy the Disk images to an SD card, then it plugs into the external floppy port. But since I'm further away from Infoage, you may want to check with Tony. On Mon, Apr 3, 2017 at 2:10 PM corey cohen via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

I would buy a FloppyEmu if it plugged into the back of the Mac 128k. Apparently on the 128 it has to plug into the machine internally. I don't want to keep cracking the case open. Thanks. I think Tony will be able to help me out. Cheers, Corey corey cohen uǝɥoɔ ʎǝɹoɔ

Hi Corey, Pardon my ignorance, but is that a 3.5" or 5.25" diskette? The reason I ask is that I have a desktop pc with a 3.5" floppy disk drive that supports OmniDisk/OmniFloppy so I could potentially write the disk image that way. Let me know if I can help. Thanks!

PCs can't directly write 400/800k 3.5" Mac floppies. They need a variable speed drive. Even more modernish Macs can't do it with their floppy drives. corey cohen uǝɥoɔ ʎǝɹoɔ
