@xeenon hahaha 😂

Have you ever downloaded a Macintosh disk image file (.dc42, .img, .image, etc) only for it to appear corrupt on your vintage Mac? 💾

Here's a blog post I wrote explaining why this happens and showing you how to resolve the issue. I hope this proves helpful. :apple_inc:

@happystardiaz UMAX / SuperMac were one of the few clones makers to legitimately secure a license for Mac OS 8. Using the OS 8 disc for the system it installs smoothly.

Mmm… dual processor Mac clones ❤️

UMAX SuperMac S900
Dual 250MHz PowerPC 604e CPU
96 MB Memory
Twin Turbo graphics
BlueSCSI v2 + Iomega Zip 100 + CD-ROM

Fresh install on the dual processor SuperMac S900! 🏎️

@BigBadBiologist this is great!

Digitizing some fun VHS tapes… 📼

@bakkus I think it would be fun to put something like a G3 or G4 board in the media center... but I'll probably just be lame and shove in some Core 2 Duo or i5 board I have sitting around... simply because I have more AV/capture card things for those systems.

I dug out this ol’ media center PC case I picked up a while back… I should put a system in there.

@craiggrannell ohhh, if you ever need anymore I have at least one of the main systems, Power Computing, UMAX, DayStar, Pioneer, APS... 👍

Vote! 🇺🇸

@DosFox okay cool. I’ll have to look through my boards, I’m unsure of the part numbers off hand. 👍

@DosFox cool!

I’m happy to test these in whatever system you’d like! Color Classic, Mac TV, 520, 550, 575, etc! Please DM me the details ❤️
