The easiest thing to do is run two System Folders, one with 7.5.5 and one with 7.1, and use System Picker to switch between the folders.

Many apps require 7.5, and i want to run the newest OS it can run. Even if it is slower than 7.1.
Besides, i want to have fun doing over 19 disk swaps and writes } .
Yaay 19 f…

Go with 7.1 - it is just as capable as 7.6, and it will run faster and use less RAM. For future reference - there are three common types of capacitor (there are plenty others, thou…

That RAM chip you have there seems to be 16/32 MB. If my assumption is correct, go with System 7.5.5/System 7.1.

Gotcha. OK: What is the reccomended system to run on an LC III? I am probebly going to put 7.6 on it.

No, those are the different types of caps (the ones that don't leak often) that are normal on a LC board.

Wow! I just looked at the mobo and it appears that 7 of the capiciters have been reworked!
I'l post a pic here in a moment.
Conquests: Mac-VGA Adaptor and PC floppy drive! — #1
I know... a PC floppy drive isn't vintage mac-related, but i didn't feel like making two topics; one here and one in the Lounge. Besides, I need it to transfer data to "Treebark" (…

Oh.... I was looking for the big black-with-a-white-stripe gas tanks standing on their soldered on contacts

:lol: You obviously don't know what they look like. I can see them on your photos quite …

I know what caps look like. there are none on the top of the mobo. It looks like the 68030 chip is on the bottom too.
Posible conquest: LCIII! — #27
Nah, the caps are on the top, like the small "can" like thingies you see on the motherboard.
I believe every Mac has caps, but the SE/30/Classic II/Classic/SE/IIci/II/IIx/IIfx/LC …

Aah. I'm assuming the caps are on the bottom of the mobo?
Also, what model(s) dont have caps?
And the caps appear to be fine. No squeaking noises here!

No, the pizza box series does definitely have caps, and when you hear a squeaking sound, it's likely that they are going.
I doubt yours has that problem since it would have bee…

Oops! My uploads hung and only the first couple of photos were uploaded.
Forgive my ignorince here, but IIRC, aren't the "pizza box" macs one of the few without capiciters?

especially for machines setup in such a way that it becomes more difficult to reach around the back for the power switch.

I've owned.....5 ProDrive ELS's over the years, one of which was brand new (it was in our LCIII, which Dad bought brand new back in 1993). All of them are dead. I've also owned....…

Unfortunately, you are wrong. The Quantum ProDrive ELS that was originally installed in my Macintosh LC 475 died a while back. The Quantum ProDrive LPSes/LTs are the good ones a…

OK... The ProDrive ELS HDs are the good ones, right?

Just where ever seems most appropriate. For example, if it's about a 68k PowerBook, then it should go in the 68k PowerBook forum...
