So here is my latest dilemma. Thanks in no small part to Phreakout's help, I was able to successfully boot my SE/30 from the internal hard drive, and access the contents of the hard drive. I initially booted from a Disk Tools floppy, ran Disk First Aid, and suddenly the hard drive appeared...
Thanks Phreakout!
I tried booting the SE/30 from a floppy while holding down the shift key, but that didn't do the trick.
While I'm waiting for your OS disks, is there any method I can use to copy a complete Apple OS to a set of floppies using my Windows PC? The complete System 7.5.3 is...
OK guys, excellent suggestions. I have some good news and some bad news.
The Macintosh Classic I have now is indeed a Classic 1. Following Phreakout's instructions, I successfully booted from the ROM, formatted a new 1.44 MB floppy disk, copied the System Folder and "blessed" the System Folder...

What's the easiest/fastest way for me to obtain a boot disk?

The logic board of the machine had Simasimac when I first acquired it, so I recently had it re-capped by forum member...
Hi everyone:
I'm a new member here, and I came across this forum while searching for information about my Macintosh SE/30's debilitating SimasiMac condition.
