Got this guy off of eBay last week. 49.99.
4MB ram, 20MB HDD. came with System 6.0.7
Seller said it booted to a question mark, which it did. So, I expected it to have a bad HDD or just formatted. Booted off of a System 7.0 disk, only once, after a Command+Option+Shift+Delete.
After it booted from the disk, it rebuilt the desktop, spat the disk out and loaded the 6.0.7 desktop.
I cannot for the life of me figure out what program is setting a random background on each boot. Pyro! is installed but I'm pretty sure that its just for the screensaver. The hard drive is filled almost to capacity with word docs from the early 90's.
Onto the Zip100.. couldn't test it because the original owner left the cord out of the package. That came today as well.
Drive just lights up a solid green and amber and does nothing. Doesn't eject either. Had to paperclip the cute little thing. I love how these zip drives look, just wish they weren't so prone to disaster. Ugh. No fun time for the Compact today I guess. :disapprove:
Oh yeah, almost forgot... After the first boot off that 7.0 disk, it won't boot it again so I can't wipe the drive.. Nor can I boot any disk. Quite awkward.
