Original Macintosh Startup Problem
Hey everyone,
This is my first time posting here on the forums. I have acquired an original macintosh and when it starts up i get the sad mac error 040200. I think that this has something to do with having bad ram. I have no idea how I can about fixing this. Are ram chips still available for this mac? Any ideas? Here are some pictures http://imgur.com/a/D6rh9.

RAM. nearly all of them have bad RAM by now.
Contact uniserver, he has the RAM to redo one of these things.

Alright, there is not any way to just buy this RAM is there? Also, I opened up the case and the capacitors seem fine. Should I be replacing the caps even if they have not gone bad? I also already took out the battery. Is there anything else I should be doing to make sure I do not encounter anymore problems? Finally, even once I get it working, I am going to need a floppy disk with the operating system loaded on it. How would I go about getting that?
Just sent it to Uni, he will fix whatever needs to be done so it is a fully functional machine. Going any other route you will regret it.
Yup, looks like she needs a set of ram on there.
Its best to not mess around and just get all 16 ram chips replaced with good stuff, I use samsung.
Feel free to pm me.
