Storage, backup, and talking to PCs and the Outside WorldĪnother mini 1. What's the last thing you bought for your PowerPC Macs? If you know otherwise, please contact us and we will remove them accordingly. To the best of our knowledge, these titles are classified as 'abandonware' for having been discontinued by their publishers after Steve Job's public funeral declaring Mac OS 9 a 'Dead Operating System'.

Additionally, once the StuffIt Expander app is open, check EDIT > PREFERENCES > INTERNET and 'use stuffit expander for all available types' If you drop an image with any other extension, then Mac OS 9 will try to copy the disk image file to its hard disk, which is not what you are trying to do. Again, the disk image must have the extension.
StuffIt Expander is included in every Mac OS 9 installation. The next time you start up the Mac OS 9 app, the disk image will no longer be on the desktop. After downloading, if the file does not automatically decode by double-clicking, we recommend opening StuffIt Expander and Selecting 'File' and 'Open' to decode the downloaded file. Instructions: Most of our files have been encoded with MacBinary format (.bin) so that the data and the resource fork of the file will not be damaged when storing the file on a non-Macintosh file system.
