More Techno Geekery …





Well, there’s a thing …

Remember me saying, a while back, that I was trying to transfer across a lot of .pdf’s over to the Performa, and couldn’t get the disc to be recognised?

Well …

I’ve managed — courtesy of next door neighbour, Lynn  — managed to get hold of some blank CD’s to try transporting a few a few files over.

And, as an extra thought, Apple are now handing out the Mac OS 7.5.5 updates, that’s probably worth a go, as well.

Now, as you’ll now from the last time I posted, the Performa had trouble recognising the fairly recent CD I’d tried to record with  the Mini’s on-board burning utility.

Why, I’m still not sure.

And a Joliet formatted CD, burnt with Burn.app wasn’t seemingly recognised, either.

But one thing I’ve found that Burn can do is save a group of files as a good ol’ fashioned .iso 9660 file, which — when burnt with Disc Utility — The Performa read like a D-ream!

So I’m happily pleased about that!

And I’ll probably be transfering the rest over, as and when!!

And trying the updates, too …

Post a Comment

I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.

Thank you.
