hi i have a mac performa 578 with 36mb of ram. I have a pc but i need a netscape cd that will work on a 68k mac because i can't share big files from that to the mac and it would be imcompatable anyway. That mac has had no browser for 3 months and all i want is to get a browser for it.

Do you have any old ISP CD's around? Like AOL, SPRINT, MINDSPRING, and there are others. They will have a 68k compatable Netscape Browser on them, you will have to browse the cd on your mac. Some DEMO game CD's for the mac have browsers on them.
Just pop a cd in if you have any (dont install the isp) just browse the cd and find a 68k compatable version of a browser.


IF you have a CD Burnner hers a program you can use to create MAC CD IMAGES (ISO) and use any burner software to burn the ISO image to CD. Theres a demo version available for download Use it to create a MAC ISO image.

You can then download a HQX or SIT compressed file of Netscape and transfer it to the cd-image creating software and burn the Mac software to cd thus allowing you to use the files on your mac. The software I listed above preserves the mac binary, both data and resource forks.
