I've got a Mac!
Laukev7:
You can use HFVExplorer to write mac disk images to floppies:

Calum:
well, i can use dd to do it, surely, since they should be byte for byte images of the disks, also hfvexplorer requires windows, which is always a last resort for me. i do have a lot of useful mac related things installed, such as hfs and xhfs which provide a commander style file explorer capable of reading hfs disks, without having to have any kernel modules on the go which support hfs, but because apple do not make the base install disks available as disk images (only the updates) i have had to resort to buying a set of system 7 install floppies (which have yet to arrive)
by the way, for anyone interested, look how much the asante scsi adaptor sold for in the end: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8830970623
i did ask a local mac user group if anybody had a spare one for sale, but no response after almost a week...
bedouin:
I hadn't priced the Asante adapters ever. I acquired my Classic II and all its accessories by trading an Amiga 500 complete with monitor and a bunch of software. I paid $20 for the Amiga a few months prior. I guess I made out pretty well considering the Asante adapter alone goes for $50+.
I was never an Amiga guy growing up so I couldn't appreciate it anyway.
Orethrius:
For what it's worth, HFVexplorer will run under Wine, but I'd imagine it has some non-ANSI C since it's a little quirky.
Calum:
but i don't need it, do i? am i missing something?
perhaps i will just have to wait till i find an asante scsi adaptor by the side of the road as well! i did think of knocking on the door where the mac was outside and asking if he had any other bits for it, but decided against it.
