I have been picking up bits and pieces, mainly off Ebay, over the last while and the odd machine locally but usually just units without any extras.
So last week I finally managed to come across a nice conquest in the form of a boxed Mac SE (800k drive) with a good bit of stuff, and all at a very reasonable price.
The box is in reasonable condition but someone put some tape around the edges. The foam inserts are partly present but in poor condition.
The MiniScribe spins up and is detected but doesn't read or write. I've tried Lido, Norton etc but no luck yet.
The SyQuest on the other hand is rock solid and all cartridges work without a problem. Managed to boot off that too. I'll definitely hang on to that.
The Fujitsu 1Gb drive is a funny one. It didn't spin up at all, someone had removed the "start" jumper. Spins up fine now and is formatted NTFS but I just can't get it to work with the Mac yet. Will keep trying.
The ComputerTalk for AppleTalk I haven't a clue about. Didn't find any info on that. Some kind of PhoneNet maybe?
The SE has been upgraded to 4Mb and works grand
