I have some old HFS formatted burned CDs burning in toast on a classic mac. A friend needs his stuff moved off these backups onto his NAS but his modern mac cannot read these CDs. I can mount them in linux manually but the filenames have illegal characters so I cannot copy them over to anything without losing like half of them.
How to I copy these files off the CDs?
I was under the impression that the barrier for the friend’s modern mac being unable to read the drive was due to the lack of hardware interface. Is there a greater barrier than that for the data?
If the data itself needs to be converted, consider looking for tools that can function from inside the VM (so none of the original data is lost before translation).
oh no, sorry, we have external CDroms. its the file names themselves. not the data within.
