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…

http://pure-mac.com/appud.html#airport You have the latest Airport version installed?

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…

Router probably is wep2 and original airport only supports WEP.

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

Recelling lol. That's what I get for typing this on a smartphone.

Maybe an error concerning Wireless protection, WEP will work, but anything younger will be more difficult.

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!

Highly likely I'd say... everything else Apple made in that era had cheap rubbish caps etc so I see no reason the Airport card would be an exception. lol

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.

Here's a pic of both.

Not necessarily, I have seen the same panels used in older Pentium era laptops. I think I have one or two lying around somewhere.
