You might be able to do the hack install on a OS 8 floppy disk set, but it'll take several times as long.

Um... the LC III cant run OS 8... can it? Click to expand... Nah, but you can hack the system file to make it compatible. You need an external SCSI CD-ROM though. Linky!

About the OS, if you're going to use the newest OS it can run, get a copy of 8.1. No, wait, NetBSD . You would be SERIOUSLY wasting your time with 7.6, 7.5.5/7.1 is the way to …

Yeah, otherwise known as Retr0bright. I haven't used it myself but IIRC some members here have had success with it.

I've heard of using a mix of Oxy Clean and hydrogen peroxide to remove yellowing. Not sure of the specifics but it may be worth googling/binging/yahooing etc.

RAM! — #9

Most Macs could not handle 8MB 30-pin SIMMs. The path for most, with a few notable exceptions, was 256kB, 1MB, 4MB, 16MB. That is, fourfold increments. Some left off one end or …

I assume they would have, as they made 16MB 30 pin SIMMs.

ADB Keyboard and Mouse — #9

I have about 6 ADB keyboards and Mice. I get them for free a lot of the time. If you need them they can easily be found on freecycle, at least in my area.

Did they even make 8MB 30pin SIMM's? That would have been an ungodly amount per stick back in the day. Not too mention very expensive. I once paid $300 for a 4MB stick.

Sorry about that. :-x On .img files, you can use the Floppy Image program here.

The trouble with that though is that I've already got a metric crapload of 8MB 72 pin SIMMs that I'll never use, and that I can't see of being much value to anyone else, either. N…
