First, the specs:
68030 processor
16 megs of RAM
hard drive 240 megs (had to start Norton Utilities and then Norton Disk Doctor to find that out, couldn't figure it out from the mere folder windows)
MacOS 7.6
The machine appears to have been made in 1993.
Now, I'm generally happy with it. I like the trackball more than I like touchpads in general. Great color screen for that age. But I need some information.
What kind of external floppy disk drive should I look for, so that I can use it with this laptop?
What kind of internal hard drive should I be looking for? (hopefully bigger than 200-300 megs, too!)
Where can I get a spare RAM card for it? (Ebay really didn't help, and neither did MemoryTen - "this item is not in stock and can ship today") It seems that the machine came with 4 megs soldered on, and users would buy RAM upgrade cards. Mine has a 12 MB card and of course I'd go for the 28 meg version.
Where can I get an optical drive for this? I'm assuming I can't get anything better than a plain CD-ROM.
Most importantly, where can I get those cool docking stations that have Ethernet and two SCSI outputs for floppy and optical drive? There is one called Emachines Etherdock, and one called Rasterops Duomate16sc... any of those are good, but maybe there are other ones?
Hoping to find some info, so feel free to comment and thanks!
