Yeah I posted up in the TAM thread too - what can I say, I'm pretty excited and it's still weeks away!
Secondly the 7600/G4 should be good fun to play around with.

I read about the TAM over on MacTalk...very cool! Good score on the 7600 too, apart from the 80MB HDD, it sounds like a nice machine, especially for free.

Isn't 2GB the max file size on HFS, not the max volume size? Power Macs certainly came with >2 GB hard disks before Mac OS 8.1 was released.

I think a better idea would be removing/unplugging the hard drive, all of the memory, any installed cards, etc. and just try to boot the Macintosh SE/30 with the bare motherboard a…

LC II Buying info? — #11
Dual-floppy LCs were rare. I only saw one batch of them in the field when they were in service (they were in a school library). I believe Apple also sold LCs and LCIIs with only on…

Umm.. I don't remember any 2gb limit on HFS.

You may be thinking of HFS+.
A hint is the range of a signed 32 bit number.

Umm.. I don't remember any 2gb limit on HFS. I remeber that the custer sizes were huge after 2gb's, but there is no limit, and I have a quadra 630 sitting right here(need to put it…

As long as you are running system 7.5.3 there really is not a limit you will reach anytime soon.

You mean apart from the 2Gig partition limit of HFS?

they bastardise IIsi or IIfx machines.
I would consider a IIfx far more worthy than an SE/30. Just remember …

Aaaa... the 6100 doesn't use IDE. It uses SCSI and I don't really remember an upper limit on the size of the hard drive. As long as you are running system 7.5.3 there really is not…
7100 vs 6100 — #6
I love the 6100 series, strangely thou I never liked them when they came out. The 7100 series I never really liked simply because of the IIvx case design it used. I always found th…

Not really a myth. Back in the day when these boxes and the 6100 alike was top of the line, several varieties of macs would not boot up with a dead cmos battery installed. Especial…

Yeah...I personally wouldn't run System 7.6 on an SE/30, but its important to some people, hence why the IIsi/IIfx ROM upgrade is so popular.

What sort of state is the Mac Portable battery in?
The Mac Portable absolutely needs a good battery installed before the hard drive will spin up. This is because the AC Adaptor a…

Forget 7.6, it can run AU/X. Also should be able to to 128Mb still with original ROMs.
IIsi ROM SIM gives death chime in my SE/30s — #3
porter: The reason why he put the IIsi ROM into the SE/30 is because the IIsi ROM is 32 bit clean, whereas the SE/30 ROM is not. Without a IIsi or IIfx ROM, an SE/30 requires MODE3…
Performa 6214CD not outputting video to a VGA screen. — #21
My 6200 came to me with a dead PRAM battery, which I removed, and its never skipped a beat. I think the myth comes from the 6100, which shares a similar model number, and does suff…
7100 vs 6100 — #5
The 7100 any day. Why?
- Faster in stock form...although most 7100s were the 66 Mhz version, same as the 6100/66, there was also a version which used the 80 Mhz PowerPC 601, which…

Don't forget that the 6200 series will display nothing if a dead PRAM battery is installed, test it with a multimeter to make sure it is near 3.6 volts.

I can't follow what you are saying, is the IIfx a red herring or an essential part of the story?
Why put an IIsi ROM in an SE/30 in the first place?
7100 vs 6100 — #4
I have a pair of 6100's (one has the DOS card) and a pair of 7100 (7100/66). If you do not need Nubus slots I say go with the 6100 with PDS video. For some reason I don't care for …
7100 vs 6100 — #3
As long as you do not need much expansion you could put some of the RAM from the 7100 into the 6100 and use the 6100.(they both use the same 72pin in pairs of 2 right?)
