Hello I have an old Mac SE/30 that, like the title says, won't boot properly. The guy I got it from said it was working fine the week before I got it but he was freeing up space on…

It's really not as old school as it could be, but I'm excited. It's an IBM Personal Computer 330. It was destined for the recycler at work and I'd ask if I could keep it (we have a…

Hello All, I've obtained a Nupower 117MHz Upgrade for my PowerBook 540c but do not have the software to install it! Can anyone help me? W@hat do I need exactly to run System 7.6.1…
