No, I got it from Apple's download site. It seems to be 19 parts of one large .smi file, probably a CD image.

I copied the files to PC floppy and read them with PC exchange. Then I expanded the .bin files with stuffit expander right on the mac.

OK, I have all the files on the LCIII. Nothing happens when I click on the "System 7.5.3 01of19.smi" file. The doc says it should mount automatically, but the finder doesn't know how to handle it.

Quick question... How do I write Apple's disk images to floppy? I tried using the Windows rawrite.exe that came on my linux distro CD, but the mac keeps spitting disk 1 back out. EDIT: Oh god, it's a CD image :( Ok guys, here's what I have... A Linux machine with an internet connection...

Yessir! I'm not worried about generating data, I'm worried about having the space to store all the games I downloaded. Also, I'm fairly certain the 10mbps network connection will run circles around the internal SCSI drive, not to mention seek times. Plus, being able to access the loads of...

I've had this machine for over a decade, but haven't thought about getting it online until now. It's got a 68040/66 upgrade, FPU, 10mbps ethernet and 40MB RAM. I think I'll wipe the drive and install 7.5.3. On the current install, it was asking for something called Open Transport, which I...

Just did the 3 10uf caps closest to the sound chip. I lost one of the traces on the 4th, however, my sound works properly now.

I was able to replace 3 out of the 4 caps with electrolytics. The fourth one, I busted a trace off the motherboard so I couldn't install another. I suppose if I really wanted to, I could follow the trace, but I won't bother. All these caps failed open, so I don't think it minds too much that...

Or you might have an ugly inaudible gremlin to deal with like a DC offset or ultrasonic oscillation.

Hmm... thanks for the info. As far as web browsing goes, I think HD access has to do something with inferior performance. Did 68K Macs have DMA (or the equivalent)? PCs have had it since the 386 if not earlier.

That's awesome. [:D] ]'> I think I might have to do the same soon. I'm getting a squealing sound from the speaker. Is this what happened to you?

So how does that compare to say, a 486DX2/66 or pretty much all of the clock multiplied chips of today? Same deal, right? In other words, does the 68040 do much of anything between bus clocks? I'm just trying to figure out why 486+ are rated by the internal clock and 68040's by the bus clock.

It doesn't seem to react to cable jiggling, but when I touch the caps, the squeal changes. I'm confused about the whole 68040 clocking scheme. The upgrade card I purchased claims to have a 66/33mhz 68040 on it. A lot of the 040 Mac descriptions over at everymac.com say: How does the...

Hey everyone. I'm a 23 year old programmer, mostly into Linux, but I grew up with a lot of macs (and a 386). My first Mac was my Dad's SE, 2 floppies AND an HD. I loved playing Vette, Oregon Trail, MacKarate etc. Still have that machine, but the SCSI controller is flaking out. Second Mac...
