It's been a while since I've had my Quadra 605 running. Packed all my Apple stuff up Dec 2006 preparing to move my family to Georgia whil I visited Iraq. Had it back up Jan of 2011 but had to move to Florida for my job. Moved back to Georgia this summer and setup the Quadra in my spare bedroom. I have so manny SCSI drives with files on them it will take me months to sort them all out not to mention all my floppies!
The Quadra is set up to dual boot Sys 7.5.5 or OS 8.1. It has 128MB RAM and a full 68040 33MHz but still runs at 25 MHz - I need to goose it up but the heat worries me. Maybe I need to find a spare case top & cut a hole in it for a huge heat sink?
I have a number of personall apps that I need to finish so I downloaded FutureBasic II (it's now freeware) to make sure I had the last version (I did - 2.3.1). I might try FB^3 later on but for now FB II will work just fine.
My goal is to get all my data off of the floppies and archive them to CDs. All my SCSI CD ROMS are not burners; just readers.
1. Any reccomended SCSI CD burners? Any to avoid?
2. Any preferred version of Toast for the Quadra 605?
3. Now for a LONG shot. Any way to use a DVD drive with the 605? How about a SCSI DVD burner? Toast support?
Thanks!
