Oh, also as far as the tuner card, I don't know what you would use it for(since there are no more analog antenna signals) except maybe as a channel 3 or 4 coaxial cable input for a device that doesn't have an RCA video output.
Any of the sleds from another TV or LC5xx should work fine. Maybe others as well.any ideas as to what kind of drive sled is needed for the HDD?
Incredibly carefully. If you bring the machine to the very edge of a table and look up from underneath, you should be able to see how the latch is. Gently manipulate it until you are able to swing the lower edge of the front part towards you and then it should come away. Again, this part is identical to the LC5xx machines, so any videos or instruction you find for them will be applicable here. Be very careful with the plastics, they are insanely brittle.Also how does one pop the front panel off to get to the floppy and CD-ROM drives
The legacy recovery disc I linked to on the Macintosh Garden site works quite well from CD, and at least the MacTV does have a CD-ROM built in. And it does include all software needed for that Mac, upgrading past 7.1 however it loses the ability to call the Mac by its name for some reason when you look at about this Mac.you know, I've been wondering if it might be worthwhile to create some premade scsi2sd images for systems such as the Macintosh TV and others where floppy install was the preferred restore disc format.
I personally used the floppy images to make a restore set for my MacTVs, but would expect BMOW floppy emulator would work well too.
