Well, the LC II works. installing System 7.5.3 on it right now. Using a zip drive. I can't seem to get it to boot off the Zip drive though. It's a SCSI Zip|100 and it just doesn't like to boot. I got the PM 6500, so I was able to make a boot floppy (Network Boot Disk) and was going to install over localtalk, but that was taking forever. It also would not mount the zip without the iomega driver, despite being hooked up at boot with a disk in (HFS Standard). So I copied the network boot system folder to the internal HDD, booted from that, hopped on the localtalk connection to the PM 6500, pulled the Iomega driver and put it on the system folder on the HDD.

I am not installing from the zip disk. The SCSI bus on this is freaking slow....

Oh well, once I get it up, I got a few games I am going to play on it :)

Sim City 2000 being one, Sim Tower another, and a few MECC games (Museum Madness, Number Munchers, etc..) I think I will try getting Widget Workshop running on this too :)
