I found a external SCSI drive, 40MB at a thrift shop that runs. Could this work instead, or do i need the internal one install first?

SCSI sometimes requires a bit of Voodoo trickery to get working, but as long as the ID is not set to '7' (usually they are set to '0' on single drive Macs) and the drive is terminated (usually a jumper or a pair of resistor packs) then it will work OK provided the drive itself is working. > > The LCIII is a fairly robust machine generally speaking, if not the fastest on the planet. I would recommend you try and acquire a copy of System 7.1 on floppy disk as well as appropriate age copies of Claris Works (1.0 to 3.0 should run fine) or similar and it'll do great as a typewriter. > > -- > Mark Benson > > http://homepage.mac.com/markbenson > > -- > Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... > > Small Dog Electronics http://www.smalldog.com | Enter To Win A | > -- Canon PowerShot Digital Cameras start at $299 | Free iBook! | > > Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> > > Vintage Macs list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/vintagemacs.shtml> > --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; > Send list messages to: <mailto:vintage.macs@mail.maclaunch.com> > To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/vintage.macs%40mail.maclaunch.com/> > > iPod Accessories for Less > at 1-800-iPOD.COM > Fast Delivery, Low Price, Good Deal > www.1800ipod.com -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
