Hi, Thanks for your other suggestions. I just looked inside my LC II. Everything looks positively clean and nice there. Not much dust, no leaking batteries, everything looking good. However, in the top left corner of the case (above the processor and next to the big white slot), in the place

Re: Dead LC II.

I think those A20 and A21 jumpers have something to do with whether the Mac's ROM is recognized or not. I vaguely recall that there was some talk about a ROM SIMM that was planned to supplement or replace the original LC ROM. Bob - Original Message - From: "J.S. Garrison"

Found OT for LCIII. What will extract an .sea on an LCIII?

I finally purchased a floppy drive for my Ibook, and found the files for OT1.1.2 for my LCIII. I downloaded the four files onto floppies, and moved them over to the LCIII. The problem that arises is that the LCIII does not know what to do with the .sea files that I downloaded. What program a
