A SCSI Zip can be an alternative to floppy discs.

If you need a set of 6.0.8 disks made I can help, send me a pm

After looking around for the 5mb LLF rom bin file I realize you already warned me about the two different chips on another forum, plus tested to confirm that you could not substitu…

I bought a Data I/O System 19 with Unipak that should arrive shortly.  It should go down to 2708s.  It's  a gamble.  I am also building an ME1702a programmer so I can do 1702a's to…

For years I ran a Mac 512Ke, Plus, and SE with system 6.0.4 floppies. I can search and look about for them but I no longer have 800K Disks to copy to. I need to hit up eBay for old…

You should of mentioned. My Willem station can do 2716's...or I think I did. I don't immediately have at hand the SCSI card for my Lisa. Anyways, I can hold onto the chip regardle…

Yes you could do floppies but those are getting harder to find and my experience is that the fail after some time. My floppy collection probably looses 10% of its members every ye…

Actually CelGen, you did well, even if you can't use this one for your 10MB ProFile.  It is a collectible chip at least.   The two I bought I got in the $20 range also.  You just h…

I run system 7 on mine, just because made making floppies easier.

Yep no problems at all booting from an external hard drive. But yes, Pluses never had an internal anyway... booting from floppies and running off floppies was the normal manner …

Mine's old enough that it doesn't have a hard drive, will System 6 run on floppies and if not it can boot from an external hard drive right?

+1 for getting a copy of 6... max1zzz has a mirror of the old now defunct unsupported software archive up on the web and you can find .sea files of the System 6 startup disk set he…

System 3 - Juliet Elysa? Damn... You should get System 6 and get more software for the Plus. A lot of things that will run on System 7 will on on System 6. 

plus is a great machine!

Aw, sorry to hear about the PowerBook. But congrats on finally finding a Plus! Especially a working one. I love mine, though I can't really do much on it due to a lack of softwa…

I had a few bad Macintosh Conquests lately.  From a local recycler I got a Powerbook 140 & a Macintosh IIcx which don't work.  The Powerbook is beyond help, the Macintosh I…

That is just plain weird. I've seen a lot of odd electronics, but never a chip-on-chip socket like that. 

Oh butts. Oh well. Live and learn.......

Here's a pic of both.

I think there's also a device you can buy just for doing low-level formats without the need of a ProFile card and special ROM.  I seem to recall seeing one on eBay.

Is this the chip which allows to low format a Profile ?
