What I've decided to do is go down the Zip route first. I have a usb zip100 and a SCSI zip100 on its way in the post. I'm...

    Sounds perfect. I use 2.01 with an Atari and hoping to use a v1 iteration on my Mac SE.

    Mac SE general questions

    I’ve just taken delivery of a Mac SE and I’m delighted to say it looks in great condition and it boots up from the internal HDD. So far so good, but god is the fan noisy? I mean it’s really noisy and when I shut down I can hear it slowly whirling down. One thing I’ve noticed is that when I...
