The computer arrived and it boots from floppy!So no repairs necessary. (I removed the battery so logic board is safe)
The system reports 20MB of RAM which is not great but still usable in order to install some stuff.
It also has a network card with a BNC connector sticking out which I guess is not that useful.
Except if there are headers or anything that can be used to somehow make this an ethernet card?!
Yeah one can dream...
Anyway the hard disk is dead and I've put a IDE to CF in there and it recognised the unitialised disk and let me initialise it although I can't write anything to it.
I've used a system 7.5.3 Disk Utils disk in order to boot from it and format the CF but I guess I need to patch it or format with a different tool?
Do I need to do all these or there is an easier way?
Is there a software tool to just format and patch the drive with?
@mg.man I have a CRW8424S Yamaha CD-RW SCSI drive I was planning to use since it's been sitting forever in my junk box.I'm more of a need of the apple adapter thingy but I'll PM you.
