Last, and probably least, there’s also PhoneNet which was a means of using phone cable adapters to network Macs. AppleTalk can actually work over IP as well, meaning you can set up AppleTalk if both Macs can see each other over ethernet.

You’re not limited to just serial cables, however. If you don’t have one kicking around, you can find these fairly easily online just search for a “mini din 8 pin” cable, as this is what the printer/modem ports used on classic Macs. Most likely, this will be an old printer/model serial cable. The option of course works with two Macs connected with a serial cable.

If you don’t see the other Mac in the chooser, check which port AppleTalk is set up to use – and make sure that’s where the cable is actually plugged in.

From the chooser you can select the computer you are accessing, enter the password, and choose if you want to remount the share when you start up.

On the other computer, open Chooser from the Apple menu.

Share a folder on one of the Macs (click on the folder and choose File > Sharing, or Get Info).

You’ll also want to use Sharing Setup or File Sharing (depending on which version of the Mac OS you’re running) and set up your username, password, and Mac names.

Make sure AppleTalk is enabled on both computers – this can be done in the Chooser under the Apple menu.

Install file sharing (this comes with System 7 and later).

(Although, performance is a bit iffy in general!) The process is fairly simple: AppleTalkĪppleTalk refers to a set of networking protocol used by classic Macs, and with it – two Macs can be plugged into one another via a serial (modem/printer) cable and then share files with one another! You can even launch applications from a share via AppleTalk. You can tell 800k floppies apart from the 1.44 HD floppies, as the 800k only had one hole on the top of the disk, whereas the HD floppies have two. Apple eventually introduced “SuperDrives” (also known as FDHD drives) that can read both the old 800k floppies in addition to the 1.44 mb high density disks. Plus, these 800k disks won’t work on PC floppy drives or external USB floppy drives. These are tough to work with, as they can’t use the more common 1.44 mb high density floppies that came later. The earliest Macs (Macintosh 128k, Mac Plus, some early Mac SE systems) use 800k single density drives. Classic Macs use 3.5″ floppy disks, but there are some differences you need to be aware of. One more note on disks, floppy disks that is. Everything!) There are also USB zip drives which can ease the job of moving files from newer computers to older ones.

It’s a roomy option for old programs and files, and pretty much any classic Mac can use them! (Even without the Iomega driver extension if need be – just use Mt. I’ve always loved the zip drive, even still. My weapon of choice, when it comes to disks and old Macs – is the Iomega Zip 100. Ironically, Windows is easy to work with as HFS explorer provides a simple way to write to mac-formatted floppies. Fortunately, older Mac Applications are small enough they can fit on a single floppy in many cases. Cheap USB floppy drives are easy to come by, and most classic Macs have an internal floppy drive. Floppies are by far smaller, but you can still get far with them. CDs are an easy option, as burning CDs give you plenty of room to work with – but the classic Mac would need a CD drive of course. Let’s start off with the most obvious: disks.

There’s no right and wrong way here – whatever works! Older Macs may (or may not) have ethernet, usb, or serial… so this article should give you a few options. This article covers a few methods for getting software and files from a modern Mac or PC onto an older classic Mac.
