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…
Nice score on some great gear!
I've always had a special place for the case styling of the 81/8500 series of computers. A nice looking mini-tower, with power under the hood.
I ha…
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:

I've contacted the guy about the pricing and availability.
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…

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. …
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…
I had a bit of time yesternight to look at the Apple Macintosh CD which is for the 7200, 9500 and a few other Macs. It's dated 1996 and says that it has System 7.5.3 on it. However…

It's a coincidence that you mention that, because I've had the CD for years now and never could use the OS (just the assorted goodies like Gerbils and what-not). I have not tried i…

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…
If you want a copy of the original 7.1.2 for PowerPC, I think I just found my OS disc collection, and could image the disc for you. (Only the very first set of PPCs could run 7.1.…
Wow! My total CPU count has doubled in the past week, but my wallet remains at a constant size. 8-o
First conquest: Power Mac 8100/80 from the library of a neighboring village.…

Finally made another trip over and got the following:
boxed MacAlly multi-port adapter (lets you use several serial devices on one serial port)

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.

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…
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…
