Just got a Classic II! — #4

Well, yeah, those too. xD You can run System 7.5+ if you really need to for networking purposes, but you should at least run it with upgraded RAM.

Reconquest (Macintosh LC)! — #1

So before I came here, my Macintosh LC (my original one) had to be parted out because there was only a grey screen on startup and the floppy drive was totally dead. (it wouldn't re…

System 7.1 Click to expand... And about 7.1.1 and 7.1.2 non-Pro?

Installing internal HD in a II GS? — #9

Eh, don't feel that way. As long as the HD's not a Conner, it should be perfectly fine. In fact, these drives pop up on eBay sometimes. I even saw a lot of 14 2.5 SCSI hard drives…

This look interesting as well: http://dreher.net/?s=projects/CFforAppleII&c=projects/CFforAppleII/main.php I've contacted the guy about the pricing and availability.

Installing internal HD in a II GS? — #7

Is the 40 MB 2.5 SCSI HD a Conner? If so, then those weren't very reliable and had a tendency to die, so I'm pretty sure the HD's toast. The reason why it has no SCSI power connec…

Installing internal HD in a II GS? — #5

A 2.5" only needs +5VDC so that should be easy enough. You can get pinouts of drives at http://pinouts.ru/pin_HD.shtml I was just looking online and there are adapters available. …

Installing internal HD in a II GS? — #4

Hi, I've looked at what I have, and I'm unsure how to follow this project. Let's see: I reopen my IIgs and looked inside it. There is no such thing as a way to get a 3.5" HD powe…

Just got a Classic II! — #2

To be frank, I'd stick with System 7.1 and not touch System 7.5.3. Your Macintosh Classic II will feel slower with System 7.5.3. 50-pin hard drives (which your Macintosh Classic I…

There's an electronics waste/collection place by my house, and every once in awhile, I check out what's in the dumpster behind the building. So far I've acquired a Netpliance I-Ope…

Mac SE "Superdrive" $25! — #1

4 meg of memory and a 40 meg HD!! I guess that would make it an SE 4/40? It's a little slow for System 7, but it runs. The small screen is sharp and bright. Eric :beige:

System 1.0 book disk, how to — #8

Also to add, it is a good idea to "bless" the System Folder, once the disk image is copied to a floppy disk. It's real simple to do; just open and close the System Folder itself i…

System 1.0 book disk, how to — #7

I'm a little confused as to the advice being given here ... First, what kind is your hard drive and what is it attached to presently? To use the 1.0 disk image, you need a Mac th…

System 1.0 book disk, how to — #6

Those dates indicated System 1.1g (the May 1984) Indeed, there is a "cleaner" .img file out there which has all of the original dates.
