Finally after 7 years I have an Original Macintosh, mostly:)

Excellent information, despite the fact that it cute the life of your 800k drive short :-/

Also, is the reverse detrimental to a 400k drive? (Running a 400k drive on a red stripe cable?)

Yeah, I don't think I explained myself to him well enough at 6:30AM yesterday.

There is more on the floppy drive cable issues here: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=19242&p=181869&hilit=400k+cable#p181869

Yeah internal drive now works, boots up using that 800k drive. MacOS 2.0

I'm glad I waited until now to try to parse this thread.

I've been trying to reboot my technical lobe, it's been offline for a few months now. |)
