Mac Classic II booting troubles

She's Alive!

It works! Wow! I let the HD run for about 30 seconds and flipped on the Plus and it's great! What memories! Sadly, however, the OS definitely needs to be reloaded because a lot of small bits and pieces are missing or corrupted, but it runs nonetheless. Only have After Dark as an application

No biggie. To be honest, I really can't blame my wife for the concern. Macs are littering the apartment! There are a number of reasons to lighten the collection, aside from her reasons... 1. I collect astronomy books, telescopes and build space models. Plus I'm an artist. That's a lot of space rig

Re: It's here! (and now i have questions)

To answer your questions... 1) Yes, turn on the external HD first and let it run for about 30 seconds before turning on the Mac. 2) On the Plus, just about any SCSI ID should work. I used ID 2 for years with no trouble. If you want to change the ID, you should first shut down the machine (and t

Re: It's here! (and now I have questions)

As long as you have just one drive, the SCSI number shouldn't make a difference. But do make sure to have the drive on first. That way the Plus can pick it up when it first starts up. John -- Compact Macs is sponsored by . Support Low End Mac

It's here! (and now I have questions)

Hi Everyone, The plus arrived safe and sound. Everything looks good. A couple of questions: 1) Do I turn the External HD on first or the computer? 2) What SCSI ID# should I use for it? It's currently set on zero, but I was curious if there's another # to try out and, when I do this, do I

Hey Stephen, Id be more than happy to part with an Imagewriter or Imagewriter II, I am more interested in the computers themselves. The problem, however, is threefold. a) No information was provided to me re: if they work or not b) they are heavy and would thus be fairly expensive to ship c)

Re: Imagewriter II good source?

Both of those vintage printers are quite heavy, eBay is a bad idea. I have a LaserWritter II and it is very very heavy (maybe 60 lbs). Your best bet is to go to a thrift store or to some small computer stores that deals with selling used equipment, i've gotten deals on old apple equipment

I just love how ePay descriptions are filled with idle speculation (eg. maybe only two ever made) and very few hard facts. We may never be able to get hard facts because AppleFritter had a note, on this very model, that Apple refuses to give out information on prototypes. This means that the mach

Not a solution to your password problem, but I used the 7.5.3 files successfully, simply by copying them to the hard drive of the machine and opening the first one (very tedious by floppy disk!). My SE/30 sat and thought for a while, then produced a CD icon on the desktop - a kind of virtual CD
