Click New Image in the tool bar or in newer Disk Utility versions use New Image from the File menu Select the CD volume (not the drive) in the list on the left Start Disk Utility (in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder)) The interface of Disk Utility has changed between OSX/macOS versions, so it may be a little different from my description, but the principle is the same: Disk Utility is part of OS X 10 (El Capitan) and it can do the job. Is there a way to add a picture in here without having it hosted on a web page?Īlso, when I get info on the installer program, it says it is a Aladdin Systems Stuffit Installer Maker SEA 2.0.2. I was certified using them and I just want to have them to look over and refresh. The discs are for the PADI Open Water dive course I took years ago. Which is the old program you want to install? Maybe disk images with that software can be found for download, like on the Macintosh Garden site.Īnd, as rickyzhang pointed out, if the software is not for 68k Macs, you use the wrong emulator for it. I do not know if other software (or Terminal commands) still can.ģ. That makes it impossible to use Disk Utility for creating disk images from old CD-ROMs. Catalina will not mount HFS CD-ROMs (only HFS+ CD/DVD-ROMs).

It seems I meet all the requirements, but something is going on where it won't recognize the CD-ROM. The minimum requirements for the program are 68030 processor, 7.5 or greater, 12 MB free RAM after loading system software, display capable of 256 colors at 640x480 resolution, double-speed CD-ROM drive, 50 MB free space on hard disk. The program I'm trying to install prefers a Power Macintosh, System 7.5 or greater, 16 MB free RAM after loading system software, display capable of millions of colors at 640x480 resolution, quad-speed CD-ROM drive, 50 MB free space on hard disk. Naturally, I eject the disk as it won't initialize it. Do you want to initialize the disk? Name: untitled.

'This disk is unreadable by this Macintosh. I quit Basilisk and restart, then I get the message:

Eject Disk is greyed out, but Erase Disk is not. I am unable to eject the disk from the Special menu. I insert the 1st of 3 CD-ROMs, and it doesn't show up in the finder. My issue: I'm trying to install an old program from 3 CD-ROMs, but it is not recognizing the CD-ROM. MacBook Pro 16' running Catalina 10.15.5 and 16GB RAM.
