Stupid question here...when you say boot from Disk Tools, do you mean have the computer off and then turn it on with the Disk Tools in?

Really nice. The 605 is my favorite Quadra. I had one a while back as well as its cousin the LC 475.

I'm not sure yet; the guy is coming over next Friday.

WOW!!! :O If there is some good software in there please upload images

Hello, everyone! Just a friendly note to send to all of you whom own a Macintosh with PCI expansion bus. Just this past week, I've found that all the bus slots on my Power Mac 75…

Cool, what 68K software did you get?

THANK YOU LEMSWAP. Performa 6360 with AV kit sans fan Multiple IIsis, including a clean IIsi case Multiple LCs Apple processor upgrade (PCI) Multiple SCSI HDs (including a bat…

I'd say your assessment is correct, but that the cleaning (which had to happen) not only helped establish that, but also helped establish that the machine may otherwise be just fin…

I actually spotted that auction on eBay! Nice conquest. :O

My motherboard looks absolutely beautiful and after waiting some extra days as advised I decided to go for it. I reassembled the IIci and it immediately booted up (spontaneously)…

oh man....hypercard developemet kit 8-o

I've tried three floppy drives. 2 are from LCs, 1 from a IIci. They all do the same thing even with different cables. I do have my broken motherboard. Is there a way I can iden…

I am merely looking for a piano replacement that will let them play with some synthesizer-like effects. But keyboard action is the key. Click to expand... Still doesn't answer …

You wouldn't have any interest in parting with the copy of Microsoft Flight Simulator, would you?

Plenty of businesses would buy multiple copies of business software and just open one and install that set on all their machines (in the 80's and early 90's). Be careful with the …

Nice, how much were they? Click to expand... They were arbitrarily priced from $2-$6 each. I pretty much cleaned them out of shrinkwrapped Mac software. I did turn down some no…

Nice, how much were they?

It helps keep things organized if you dedicate machines to specific software/tasks. There are a few machines in my collection I got for free and was about to toss because they loo…

I finally got around during the past couple of days of idleness over the holidays to reassembling the IIfx (in Mac II case) mentioned in the above posts. Some observations: Dirt…

Very nice. Boxed stuff is so rare. I actually have boxes with no corresponding (serial # matched) machines... I have one for a 7600, one for a PowerBook G3, a G3 Tower, and an App…

Have you tried a different cable? Also, have you tried both the cable and drives on a different Mac? If you have, I'd say there's an issue with the SWIM chip.

nice

Holy cow, nice! I've been meaning to go to a Goodwill to check it out.

Unless you have files you need to keep, what you do is first boot from the Disk Tools disk. Then run Apple HD SC setup. Erase the HDD. Restart (it should eject the floppy), now …
