I am still working on getting my MAC Classic II working.

Where I stand now:

Analog Board has been recapped, Motherboard has been cleaned and recapped (w/ Tantalum capacitors), and I have a brand new HD w/ system 7.5 (purchased from Charles -I believe he runs Maccaps.com).  My MAC starts up but won't boot off HD, flashing ? folder and hangs.  

Next Step:

A fellow user on this board has offered to send me a disk w/ a bootable OS and Lido installed (Thank you)!! -as I am having a bear of a time getting this to work going from my PC's floppy to Mac (i get that there are formatting issues, i've tried a variety of app's w/ no luck).

Question:

I found out about this product, Floppy Emuluator from "Big Mess o' Wires".  It appears that you can plug this into the LB of your computer (on the outside/back of machine).  This bypasses SCSI which I like (as I haven't ruled out that I have a bad SCSI chip on my LB).  Has anyone used this product, this sounds like a viable option, ...even if I get my MAC running on its own, I love the idea of being able to copy files from my PC to my MAC this way ...would tha be possible?  Seems like I could boot off a disk in my floppy drive and then load up whatever programs I want off of this emulator?? -is that correct?

thanks!
