sys7 wont work. it has a differant format window you might have to try a bunch of disks fefore it works.

6.0.8 works. i'll check sys 7

i forget if it will work with system 6 or not. i'll check.

Would 7.5.1 work or not. Probably not. I'll have to downgrade my IIci to 6.0.4 that came with it.

My 5500/250's motherboard seems to be acting up. Thanks! -JRL

iirc, for a 400k floppy (not as reliable as with an 800k.400k one) take a 1.4 meg floppy and tape over the hole without the slidey thing in it. stick it into an old mac (iirc, sy…

OK I got it and unboxed it. Works great. It has a REALLY nice CRT. Bright and everything. The light in the FDD is on and is red ooohh. No boot floppy for it yet. It is in very …

Mac128 is correct. Although HD and DD media have similar characteristics, they are not "the same media" that have simply been put through more stringent quality checks. There is in…

So it's either that the two read/write heads in the Plus's drive are misaligned, and so only the lower one works when it's alone (hence the 400ks being read but not the 800ks)...or…

Even with the Mac 128K Apple was installing heat sinks to help pull heat away from the delicate electronics and radiate it into the case where convective air would then exhaust it.…

a number of the OS 9 bootable MDDs have 167mhz bus speeds and DDR RAM and ATA 100. Having a faster processor on a slow bus is limiting. Click to expand... None of the Prozesso…

I've never heard that any particular, fairly modern, OS can't utilize dual/multiple processors. NEVER believe (without checking multiple reliable sources) what you've "read at diff…

Comrades, please read each others posts carefully, take all viewpoints into serious consideration before making a reply. But most of all, be mindful of the fact that we must keep t…

Sonnet lists an upgrade for the Mirrored Drive Door. Click to expand... Yes, but the 2nd processor can´t be used by OS 9. That´s what I read at different places. It will fit, i…

I peeked at the .TXT in your post, ~tl , but I'm still not clear on the "thumbnailing" process. Does it happen automagically when an image is beyond a certain size limit (as it app…

An "eleventy" conquest happened to me at least once: when I volunteered at a recycling drive and was able to literally intercept a very nice SE before it got put into the "truck of…

it only resizes it if you are using the crappy ProSilver theme.

Does it happen automagically when an image is beyond a certain size limit (as it appears to have been done in your post) \ Click to expand... Yes, it is done automatically as t…

Sonnet lists an upgrade for the Mirrored Drive Door. The higher Buss speed will make a difference plus faster RAM AGP slot etc. Click to expand... DA, QS and MDD all have 4x AG…

HD disks are made the same as DD, they just pass a higher quality standard. Click to expand... What exactly is your source for that? The coatings on an 800K disk are thicker an…

This is turning into a flame war. Click to expand... ALMOST, but not quite as yet, IMHO. There is bound to be a certain amount of acrimony expressed on such a subject. That s…

Well, I am not exactly sure what I just did but, I got it work. Downloaded another image file (which was in .dsk format) and then converted it over to DiskCopy 4.2 .img format, the…

It booted from and ran the 400k system disks that shipped with my Macintosh 512k!!! Problem is: it spat out the 800k disks that I prepared for it on one of my SEs. Click to exp…

I think 10 NiMh AAA batteries (the small ones) might work, but have not tried it — this project is still to come, some dark winter's night. Ten regular AA "button" batteries will n…
