Dita, did you say earlier you have a Mac Classic, recently acquired? If so, is it a Classic 1 or Classic 2? If it's a Classic 1, then try the following:
Step 1: Restart the Classic.
Step 2: After the startup tone, press and hold down Apple (Command), Option, Letter X, and Letter O. (The Classic 1 came with System 6 Software built-in on the ROM chips. I think it is version 6.0.5 or 6.0.8, afaik.)
Step 3: Wait for the "Happy Mac" icon to show up on the screen and shortly later, the Finder desktop will appear.
NOTE: Make sure you don't hold down the keystrokes for very long or you'll be sending the command to "Rebuild the Desktop" (Apple/Command and Option at the same time.). If you do, It will ask you if you want to rebuild. If you pick Rebuild, then the Mac Classic will crash.
Step 4: Insert a blank 1.44MB floppy disk and erase it completely.
Step 5: After it's done erasing, open up the icon for the Mac's ROM. It will be the first icon mounted up on the desktop, before inserting a floppy disk.
Step 6: Copy the System Folder to the blank floppy disk.
Step 7: Open and close the System Folder located on the blank floppy disk. This will "bless" the System Folder and allow you to boot any Mac that will boot from a 1.44MB floppy and System 6, like the SE/30, for example.
Give this a try only if the Mac Classic is a Classic 1. I don't believe that the Classic 2 contains the same feature, but I could be wrong. This is why Apple gave the Classic 1 a code name of "XO". Strange but true.
Let me know, asap.
