\ There are very few commercial games that require System 7 that run on a 68000 Compact Mac.  The later Electronic Arts stuff like Syndicate and Theme Park require System 7 and will work on a Compact Mac in B/W, but also require 68020 minimum which would limit you to an SE/30 or Classic II. ...

I finally got it working. Steps: 1) Boot with 7.5 Network Access Floppy Disk or Disk Tools 2) Insert Drive Setup (IDE) CD (burned) 3) Delete 1GB partition and format 4) Reboot with 7.5 Floppy Disk 5) Insert 631CD Restore with 7.5.1 and Install 6) Install 7.5.3 update on CD (burned) 7)...

Us simpletons sometimes don't realize we are simpletons and ask questions on message boards. I was going to post another thread entitled "Where do I plug my Xbox 360 controller into my Mac Plus" but I caught myself. Thanks.

The latter.  Either just 7.5 and the apps I've already installed or have a completely formatted drive and install 7.5.3 from scratch.  Coming from the DOS/Windows world of vintage PC's I'm used to doing the usual fdisk, format, install the operating system.  With vintage macs, it doesn't seem to...

I made a 7.5 bootdisk and it doesn't recognize the IDE drive.  It says "SCSI device not found".  The full installer does recognize the drive, though. Yeah, I just have single 1GB HFS partition, so I'm not really following all this.  Are you saying that I need to make another HFS partition on my...

Yes, I'm booted into 8.1 as normal.  The 7.5.3 installer is in a folder on my desktop.  System 7.6 doesn't allow me to switch into 24bit addressing mode.  That's the primary reason I want to go with 7.5.3.  I'm looking for the best OS for old B/W stuff, as well as color games that only run in...

Okay, I bought a Macintosh Performa 631CD, with 36MB and a 1GB IDE Hard Drive.  The seller installed Mac OS 8.1 but it is too slow, and it has terrible compatibility playing many programs and games I've installed, so I want to replace it with System 7.5. So I downloaded the Apple 7.5.3 19 part...

Thanks for the answers.  Yeah, the Audiomedia card in my Centris looks exactly like that picture on the right.  The reason I asked about gaming and 16 bit sound output is because Digidesign has this posted on their driver download page   So according to them, it does output 16 bit stereo sound...

Hi, I'm still a newbie with old Macintoshes so bear with me.  I'm getting a Centris 650 in the mail in a few days and it comes with two Nubus cards installed.  The first is an unknown video card and the second is (I think) a Digidesign Audiomedia card.  My questions are: 1) Do Nubus audio and...
