![]() I really appreciate any guidance anyone can offer. Edit: it was pointed out to me elsewhere that as this is a CD- ROM drive, it does not have the capability to write files, which makes me feel foolish and I suppose shows my "youth." It seems capable of reading software discs like the Quark XPress one my aunt owns, but the button on the chassis doesn't seem to work, ejecting discs with the Special menu works only sometimes, and inserting a blank CD-R in the drive produces no apparent result, although being unfamiliar with System 7 (I was 9 when this machine was new and followed the PC path as an avid gamer), I don't know what is "supposed" to happen or what the correct steps are for writing files to a CD.

However, the research I have done would seem to indicate that since HFS support was dropped from MacOS after Mojave, there would be no way to transfer the files using this method, at least without a Mac from somewhere in between the two eras to act as a "bridge" for conversion, which nobody in the family has. Microsoft Virtual Server was a virtualization solution that facilitated the creation of virtual machines on the Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003 operating systems.Originally developed by Connectix, it was acquired by Microsoft prior to release.

He was a minister, and from the mid 90's to the early 2000's he wrote many sermons, as well as some unfinished drafts of an autobiography, on a Power Macintosh 6400 (actually one of the ones branded as a Performa 6400/180).
