Thanks Trag, I'm writing myself a google doc with a bunch of advisories about this machine, that one is going near the top. I plan to do some basic servicing on the machine once I have some free time, maybe it would be a good idea to replace the thermal paste even if it looks fine?
;D ;D ;D ;D
GUYS! Using those zipdisks I got OS 8 installed thanks to the the most amazing disk image I have ever encountered; The Apple Legacy Recovery Disk! It includes LISA software, and even a copy of A/UX! I had to mount the zip on my old headless G4 powerbook, it still had x.4 on it, which meant it could mount and modify my HFS zip disks. Copying the OS8 image on the powerbook to the zip and then putting the zip into the powermac I was able to mount the OS 8 Installer on my desktop and run it!
I have a fully functional Powermac 7100! I am so stoked. But now the real fun begins; playing with ZIPs is nice but I want network access. Next step is acquire an AAUI adapter!
