Product Description:

PlusMaker converts disks in place, without the need to go through the tedious procedure of initializing each disk with the new format, and then restoring each disk from backups. PlusMaker allows Mac OS users worldwide the ability to convert their existing disks regardless of the language and writing script they are using. Once their disks are converted, users will be able to enjoy all the benefits of Mac OS Extended format, such as the increased number of allocation blocks per disk, thus decreasing the allocation block size. Smaller allocation blocks mean substantially less wasted disk space at the end of each file. More allocation blocks mean users can have more files on their disk because the available space can be more finely distributed among a larger number of files.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS Classic

Additional Requirements:

  • PlusMaker runs on both Macintosh computers with a 68040 processor and Power Mac computers running Mac OS 8.1 or later. It supports SCSI
  • IDE
  • USB
  • and FireWire devices and is compatible with any storage medium formatted as a Macintosh disk.
