Hello. I currently own a partially functioning Mac Classic II. When I
say "partially functioning," it boots until I see the Happy Mac, then
it's a disk with a blinking icon.
However, before I even attempt to repair this thing, I'm wondering if
there is some kind of purpose I could put the Classic II to. If I
can't come up with a use, I might as well find some collector or
someone who actually knows what they're doing, rather than investing
my rather inexperienced effort, time and money, into a project that
has a high probability for failure.
I am currently running Mac System 7 on the Classic II (or was), and
was, for a while, quite interested in attempting to run Linux on the
machine. Aside from experimenting with Linux 68k, I really can't come
up with many other purposes. Anything I could do with my Classic II,
I can do with much less pain on my iBook (when I say pain, I mean
getting things on and off the Classic, as I have no USB floppy drive,
and only the family computer has a floppy drive).
So, can anyone suggest some purpose or reason that I should risk
attempting to revive this relic, aside from nostalgia? Thank you for
your help.
