Macintosh Diagnostics software tools

[Jimbo Slice]

I'm trying to load some utilities onto my BMOW floppy emu to help test and diagnose problems in my 68k macs. I've read good reviews about MacEKG and I found a copy here (https://www.macintoshrepository.org/573-macekg). Is this a trusted, reliable software to use? I'm also not sure how to use .SIT files on my old macs. Any help/advice is much appreciated, thanks!

Cool. I'll give a try.

SIT are compressed files, inside you have the disk image. As I downloaded it, I uncompressed it already in case you want to get the image:

Disk 2: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jqa8qos00vpn40m/MacEKG:Disk Two.image?dl=0

THANK YOU! May I ask your process of uncompressing it? I noticed BMOW floppy emu came with a preinstallled program called "stuffit expander" but im not sure how to use.

It depends if you'll decompress from an old Mac or a modern computer. In this case I'm using a modern Mac and I used a tool called "The Unarchiver", which is available for free in the App Store.

I’m not familiar with MacEKG. I mostly use Snooper to do burnin diagnostics after recaps. MacCheck is another option.
