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?
Can you just plug a USB HDD into that old Mac and copy the files over using that?
It has usb 1, but yes that’s what I ended up doing.
