Amazing - didn't even know that thing existed. So it was based on the Mac Plus MOBO? Was it legally sold or struck down by Apple at some point in time?

Damn, I miss those more innocent days of Control Panels, Extensions and extremely ingenious developments on my Quadra 605...

Tks - what I still do not understand is: if the drive is really bad, how can it still perform X/?/ejection actions?

Dear All, I've just received my System 6 floppies, but it seems like the drive can't accept them (always spitting them out with the X or ? sign)...what would be my next step here? Open the Mac SE and check the drive itself?

Tks - I just ordered a set of four 800k System 6 floppies from him; hopefully it will arrive home without problems; then I can try to make the CD 300e work as well..!

Thank you all for the useful feedback; I agree I must probably stick with System 6 in this case - but has anyone used the floppy preparation services of Rescue My Classic Mac?

Given the above, I am considering ordering some System floppies - does anyone know if this site is reliable? http://rescuemyclassicmac.com/buyadisk/buyadisk.html

After digging a little further, I was able to find at least original System 5.0 disks which I am gonna try right now - will keep you posted..! In the meantime, does anyone have any clue whether the AppleCD 300e Plus works with the SE? At least it does have a SCSI connection, which would greatly...

And I simply cannot believe my eyes - it DID turn on after at least 20-25 years without seeing any action..! Question mark screen, but still... :D I feel like in the 90s with my Quadra 605 again..! Now how to install System 7 on it?

Guys, Here is my first ever vintage conquest (originally talked about in another thread on how to clean a Mac SE) - where I currently work I have found (buried somewhere in the organization's archives) a really nice Mac SE with one floppy + HD, plus original keyboard/mouse and a Apple CD drive...

Guys, I just wanted to sincerely thank you for the very useful replies - I finally had the time to take the Mac with me tonight; here are a couple of first pics ;)   By the way, does anyone whether it is still necessary to do a CRT discharge if the machine hasn't been turned on for more...

Folks, just my second post here; so apologies if this is dealt with elsewhere. Where I currently work I have just found (buried somewhere in the organization's archives) a really nice Mac SE, most probably with one floppy + HD, plus original keyboard/mouse and a Apple CD drive - I was able to...
