Got OS 9.x.x on the fancy Mac? Try decoding the .bin
in "classic" mode. Check with ResEdit on the 8.6
update .smi (in OS OtherThanOSX) to see if it still
has its resource fork.

Anyone ever hear of OSX "forgetting" resource forks
on files for older System and Mac OS?

If instead of an .smi it was an uncompressed .img
you could burn it right to CD-R with Nero on Windows
or various Linux tools, some of which probably have
OSX ports. That's what I do quite a bit, either
make an uncompressed Disk Copy .img or use Basilisk II
to make an .hfv on the PC then burn them with Nero
as raw HFS images. Nero can also burn direct from
HFS volumes on SCSI hard drives as long as the
volume will fit on a CD-R.
