You must be windows folk. In modern Mac, it still can expand bin.
In windows, the easy way is to unpack it in System 6 vmac by bin unpack program and then export it. Find them in vmac sites.

These are probably MacBinary-encoded images. You can unpack them using unar (the Windows command-line version of The Unarchiver); afterwards, everything should be able to recognize them.

Re: Floppies in .bin format?
If it is indeed an archived image file, the .rsrc file should not be important and the file without extension should be mountable in BasiliskII by adding it to the volumes list in the GUI. Where did you get the files from?Zacchi4k wrote:I tried it and it gave me a .rsrc file and another file without extension. None of them worksJorpho wrote:These are probably MacBinary-encoded images.

Re: Floppies in .bin format?
I suppose they could be self-mounting images, in which case I don't think unar will help you.
Since you have a bootable System 7 disk, try copying the .bin files to your System 7 disk, and then unpacking them with Stuffit Expander.
Alternatively, since you have HFV Explorer, you should be able to copy the .bin files to your System 7 disk that way, as described in http://www.gryphel.com/c/image/ .

I seem to recall that an Italian 7.6.X is included with the Mac Antology DVDs.
Max1zzz has the `99 and `00/`01 collections on his private server.

Maybe better to get things rolling with an untouched copy from DVD.

Here is a quick-and-dirty to extract the data fork out of a MacBin file on a Windows PC. It does not restore the original dates as I can't find info of the date format used as yet.
Please let me know of any problem.

Usual dire warnings apply about no-resource-forks.

That is precisely what unar is supposed to do.peter_j wrote:Here is a quick-and-dirty to extract the data fork out of a MacBin file on a Windows PC.

Variety is the spice of life, they say. My one has a gui and works via drag&drop. It is a variant of one I originally wrote in VB6 in 2000. Use it, don't use it: up to you.Jorpho wrote:That is precisely what unar is supposed to do.peter_j wrote:Here is a quick-and-dirty to extract the data fork out of a MacBin file on a Windows PC.

There's your solution then: set up the image in Mini vMac and then deploy it in BII
