I was just given a real 1meg Mac Plus for free. :)
Has an Ehman 30+ hard drive to sit on top of.
System 6.0.7 installed.

I need to dig around for some 30 pin SIMMs and have at
R8 and R9 with a pair of wire clippers. :)

Have you tried Basilisk II? The Quadra 650 ROM is
the best for it, even allows booting off a real
CD-ROM. It can also use a real Mac formatted SCSI
hard drive, or an IDE drive on Windows with the
drivers
setup right to make Windows think it's "SCSI".
(Which it does for most PCI IDE controllers.)

Gudday Cuz

My not so eloquent but totally brilliant work-around ;) is using mobile
racks. I favour RH-O6 type for IDE, can't recall the SCSI equivalent off
hand. Who needs dual booting systems and SCSI chains when you can slap
in a fresh drive any time you want?... Well dual boot does have it's
plus's - Linux on old world Macs for example :(

Hacking into awkward Mac cases can be a problem tho'. I was lucky with
the G3 being so adaptable.

Right, that's it, I'm moving back to Oz. I can't stand these bargains
I'm missing out on any longer :)

I need to buy another 7300 :(
But that's an entirely new thread coming up.

Not too small for a stand alone DOS or Win 3x box I'd wager. I have a
heap of old Win 3 and DOS progs loaded on my P166 box and they all still
[just] fit onto a CD without using compression for back-up.

Shameless plug: I've been using the freeware DOS prog "XCLONE.EXE" for
archiving whole drives and writing the contents back to fresh drives.
Really saves a lot of time reinstalling when moving drives. Also does a
good snapshot of existing drives incase they suddenly fail. Very easy to
use too; XCLONE C: D: to archive, XCLONE D: C: to restore. Works across
network drives too, a good utility to have around.

'Machine Always Crashes If Not The Operating System Hangs' isn't it? :)
Speaking of which, I've been preoccupied with vMac for PPC over the past
24 hrs. A lot of fun in a time wasting sense :) Just installed SSW 7.0.1
whoo hoo.

Cheers.
