Mac Diskettes on Windows XP(SP3)

Hi!
Is there any program or way to read 1.44 MB HD Mac Floppies on Windows XP?
I tried TransMac, Basilisk II and Sheepshaver, and nothing worked.
Thanks for you help!

  • Have you tried Mini vMac or maybe Executor?
  • You really don't want an emulator to access a PC floppy drive directly, there are all kinds of glitchy problems.

    What you should do instead is use a tool like WinImage to create a 1.44mb floppy image file from a Macintosh floppy disk, feed that image file to your emulator, then write the image back to a disk when you are done.

    (Basillisk II at least used to be able to access floppy drives directly on Windows 9x, but it was slower than a real Mac floppy drive and ran in to all kinds of read/write glitches).

    It is not compatible with 1.44MB Mac disk on Windows.

    But it is possible to read Mac disk on Windows.

    *MacDisk

    On Windows, Mac disk can dump it as Floppy Disk image by using Winimage

    I dumped Sid Meier's Civilization for Macintosh (1992) (3.5-1.44mb) in 2015.

  • Thanks, I will try it, when I got myself a USB FD Drive(Because the Windows XP PC is not mine.)
