Re: Thanks...and some curiosities

I have a stock 512k with a Samsung CRT, also on an SE/30 and a Classic II. My 128ks have Clintons as do my Mac Plusi, SE and Classic. Keep in mind there were several hundred thousand of each model sold, so our little sample doesn't really provide a clear picture. Anti-glare was a common issue for

Re: Thanks...and some curiosities

Could've been a Miniscribe drive. These were common drives in the early 20SC SE models. If you turn it on and the hard drive sounds like some kind of home appliance in itself, it's probably a Miniscribe. -Nat On Tuesday, June 21, 2005, at 09:30 PM, Scott Baret wrote: By a "Winchester" I w

Re: Thanks...and some curiosities

ft over from SEs and Pluses that had just been discontinued. Since the SE/30 didn't make it through 1991 they figured they could use a bunch of them on early Classics. The other design may have cost less, and Apple may have figured that with a Classic II on the way to replace the SE/30 anyway that

Re: Thanks...and some curiosities

Actually, the other 256k of the Classic (orig.) ROM is the ROM Disk. When third party software looks at the ROM, for all practical purposes it sees 256k, NOT 512k, since the rest is system software, NOT ROM instruction. If you did a comparison you'd see that it matches the SE ROM almost identically

7.5.3 just for it. What is the proper way to install system 7.1 on this machine? (or any machine that requires an enabler for that matter) The way I did it, which was evidently wrong was to boot from a floppy after the mobo transplant, put the new enabler (403 instead of 410) in the system
