Hallo ouens ek hoop almal is goed hey!
I'm having some problems with recent acquisitions that I am hoping someone may be able to advise me on...
I have a Classic a SE FD and an SE FD HD, all of which have some issue, here they are above out in my garage workshop where I had hoped to use one of my other systems to make some system disk or at least help with the problems:
The classic II displays this on boot so I think maybe the board needs replacement capacitors? It bongs happily but the screen is messed up which is a real shame:
The next one I found in an abandoned office space on the outskirts of Johannesburg, it was covered in bird kak but I cleaned it off and it seems happy to wait for bootable media so that's a good thing.
The last one with the HD is stuck in a loop, whether I click OK or CANCEL the system will reboot to the same point, I'm hoping there's some keyboard shortcut that will help with breaking out of this?
I also scored a SCSI external disk drive which I've currently misplaced in a box somewhere, I will dig it out and try as it was connected to the mac that was abandoned.
All in all I paid maybe 1000 rand (about 74 USB) for the Classic II and the se HD FD (the one stuck in a loop) which I was pretty happy about as I got a load of non-related vintage hardware as part of the deal.
Totsiens!
