Hello everyone! After a month I managed to get my first 68k Macs!
I had been recommended an LC III by a member back in May, but when the Mac Plus popped up being given away I couldn't resist driving to Northern Phily to pick it up!
It wasn't enough though. When a Mac SE was found in a attic of a friend's place I was able to take it as well. After a battling a busted hard drive, trading an iMac for some software,
transferring files to 800K disks from my PowerMac, and then finally biting the bullet for a FloppyEmu, I got a fully functioning system!
My future plans include trying out SLiRP to get it on the web (limited I know, but I figured it would be a fun project,) getting RAM and a Keyboard for the Plus, and
trying a LocalTalk network between both machines and my PowerMac. I would also like to find an accelerator card for one of these machines, but I know they can be pretty rare.
