Hey thanks for the software! I've been itching to get this ugly Vista off of my PC haha, I only had it there because of the floppy drive. I got the System 7 image from the ftp at BetaArchive forums. Every System image is on there, and even specific models (With the enablers, I'm assuming).

Hey guys, so my quantum drive arrived in the mail today. It is model RZ28. I bring it in from the post, and let it warm up for a bit. But when I plug it in, a green led flashes for a split second, and all I see is an amber led. Some googling tells me that it is a fault led. There is no...

Hey techknight, thanks for those suggestions. I got it to work using Winimage, and I made a working 7.5 Disk Tools disk. The hard drive can't be verified or repaired with Disk First Aid. But that got me to thinking, so I opened up a System 7.0.1 image file, copied the TeachText application to...

I have tried that on my Windows Vista PC, but it doesn't seem like Transmac can see my Floppy Drive. I made a book disk using clock.exe from macgeek.org, and it wants to start on my Centris. I see the happy mac for a quick second, but then my floppy drive ejects the disk and it goes back to the...

Could I do something similar in Basilisk or vMac?

Hmm, I tried making a System 7.5 Disk Tools disk from my Macbook air, I dd'd the files to a floppy from a box of floppies I got today at the market. $15 for 10 Memorex 1.4MB HD floppies. But they won't boot on my Centris! All I get it a Mac icon with a X after the machine spits out the floppy. 

Yep, thats the one that I bought! It took me 50 minutes to drive there, because I am on the other side of Lake Simcoe, but it was worth it (in my mind at least, haha). Also I might go check out the 400 market today, they usually have good deals there.

Update on the Centris. I followed the directions on this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VepkXLCH3bM and I was able to get it to boot! It booted into 8.0. It had FinalDOOM on it and a few other interesting apps. The only thing is that the drive would only work for about 5-10 minutes. After...

Yes it is a quantum hard drive techknight, do you have a link on how to unstuck the heads? Superdos I am going to staples right now to buy some floppy and a USB floppy drive. I just found out this Centris has a 10BaseT nubus card installed too, I am a happy guy :) P.s sorry for the bad...

Hello everyone! First post here. Today I picked up a Centris 650 with Laser writer for $40. I was ecstatic, so I came home, plugged it in and.. Got the question mark icon. When I start the computer the hard drive starts up, but quickly turns back off again. These drives are Scsi right? I...
