MAC SE/30 crash

argh found no help howto install mac system 7.1 or 7.5.3

some hints for me?

you need to get your self a good bridge mac,

one that you can use to make disks, and maybe to local talk file transfers…

also SCSI Zip drives are great because they work even on machines as old as the Macintosh Plus. and are read/writeable all the way up to Mac OS 9.

hello,

first i check the Mac with the new ram.

Hi,

Hi,

need some more help.

i ve download the MAC System 7.0.1 images.

extract the sea.bin files and write it with winimage on an floppy.

but the mac cant read the disk.

i ve insert an other floppy format it and it works.

the floppy was an 1.44MB floppy,

but the mac format it with 800k MAC Format.

Is the floppy drive only an 800k Floppy?

i find different pages and all describes the mac se/30 with an 1,44MB Floppy drive.

Some Idea

thx a lot

hi,

okay the answer @wiki:

Mac to include a 1.44 MB high density floppy disk drive as standard (late versions of the SE had one, but earlier versions did not).

How can i now install the mac os system 7.0.1?

There are several options. You could find someone to send you some 800k system disks, or you could find another old Mac that has a 1.44MB floppy drive and use that to copy the files from the PC disks to 800k Mac disks. You could also use something like a Zip drive that you can copy files to from the PC and read on the Mac.

Easiest is probably to get some disks from another member here. Offer to pay for the blanks and the postage and I'm sure someone can help you out.
