dougg3 - good catch, I did not notice that. Looks like I will have to get creative with interfacing the SCSI2SD.
Updates on the machine: The Quantum drive is definitely struggling. It now refuses to spin up every single time, unless I heat it up either in the sun or in the oven at 170F for a few minutes.
I added 32MB of RAM ($5 shipped on eBay.... can't believe how cheap that was) and holy crap, what a difference that made. SimCity runs much, much better now. I will still get the FPU in there at some point, but it is not a priority anymore.
I have been experimenting with the original install of 7.1, 7.5.3, and now I am installing 7.6 as I type this. I have been using burned disk images from Macintosh Garden. So far I like the original install of 7.1 the best.
I installed a Farallon Ethernet Card (also from eBay), but I can't figure out how to get a browser on this machine. I installed Internet Explorer off a MacOS 8 CD, but it refuses to start and says I need the "CFM 68k Runtime Enabler". I can't find this elusive piece of software anywhere.
Any input/suggestions?
Thanks guys. Having lots of fun with this machine. I am especially digging the built-in Trinitron, as picture tubes are an eccentric interest of mine. I could take the cover off a CRT and stare at the innards for hours, I think the way they work is fascinating.
