ah, my little LC III. Last seen running 7.5.5 happily.

anyways, I am trying to get 7.6 (and later, 7.6.1) on it. So, I hook it to my Powerbook 1400, run the NAD, and copy the 7.6 floppy images over, as well as disk copy 4.2. then, I open disk copy, and get a bunch of errors. First an Error Type 10, then a disk error, then some memory allocation errors, where it wanted more, more, more!!

so, I boot from my flat 7.5 install floppy, and attempt to install a minimal 7.5, and it freezes at the end of disk one!!

I even got a sad mac when I copied the system folder from the NAD to the hard disk and boot off it (why does it matter where a system folder is?)

My theory is something I have in the machine is causing it. My NExT step is to remove the ethernet card, VRAM upgrade, and if I have to, the 32mb RAM stick.

anyone have any thoughts?

specs:

-33mhz 68030 (overclocked from 25mhz, lost my sound in the process)

-36mb of RAM (4mb soldered, 32mb 72 pin simm)

-250mb HD (up from the original 80mb)

-768kb of VRAM (512k soldered, 256k in slot)

-Dyna 10 base T Ethernet card

-12" colour monitor (whatever originally shipped with it), does 640x480 at thousands with the VRAM upgrade, only 256 at the stock 512k.
