If anybody has one of these lying around, I'm looking for one.

Sorry to hear about that. Looks like this document has some slight differences versus the Second Edition. For example, it describes the ZIP reply packet differently. We could probably compare the two in the real world by running AppleTalk version 53 with a later version like version 56 or 57...

If you get it, will we get color scans instead of black & white? E: I thought I recognized that username. Is he the guy with LaserShare priced, along with some others, at frankly obscene prices? 750$ for a floppy disk? Which we have no guarantee that it even works? I've got my eye on...

I agree with jmac about 7.1. 7.5 is okay to keep on hand for certain situations but 7.1 is where the machine shines best. 7.5 is best used on 68040 boxes, who don't particularly mind OS 8 if it's been trimmed out a bit, you have plenty of memory and it's a "faster" 68040 like a Q650 or something.

Still better than the SE/30 which has more layers on the board and loads of VIAs. We have power and GND planes on the inside, rest top and bottom are all as you see. Okay not as good as the Plus/SE which only use through-hole parts, but ... Have you seen a Quadra 650 motherboard? That has loads...

And IIci/IIcx/Quadra 700s. Pretty much every single one of these is over 35 years old. Respectably decent capacitors from Japan, uh, were relatively inexpensive and there's just no reasonable excuse not to do it. "But the guide said this is probably always OK" -- replace it. You're already in...

I owned a 230 and a 2300c. All of them had truly awful keyboards. AFAIK the issue is the lubricant embedded in the plastic degrades which increases friction considerably. Combined with a lack of reinforcement on the underside and the "meh" quality in general is a triple combo. The trackball is...

There's a System 6 semi-complete collection on Macintosh Garden, but they don't have 6.0.1. The same page has 6.0.1 but manually touched. Haven't seen 6.0.1 on Apple official disk images, usually only 6.0, 6.0.3, 6.0.5, 6.0.7 and 6.0.8. 6.0.6 is rare.

Was 6.0.1 ever distributed? I don't recall seeing that shipped to end-users, and wasn't able to find any disk images of 6.0.1.

Check in the link below, in the More Info section, there should be a subsection in the Working with Disk Images that might help.

Web browsing is limited to an increasingly smaller and smaller number of websites. System 7 Today has a list of sorts. FTP still works, to a very short list of still public FTP servers. One of the ways I check if my machine has TCP access out is to FTP to ftp.belnet.be, a public Linux server...

It's probably a Dayna card. Double check with TattleTech.

Did you try the A/UX 2.0 image I referred to?

Found a few things. Burning 16x DVD+Rs at 4x would be better, surely? the best burning speed for DVDs DVD testing Both of the last two links referenced Nero DiscSpeed, a relic by now, but should still work fine. It's an interesting program that runs under Windows. It might be useful for the...

I mean the burn speed itself shouldn't really be the problem, it probably has more to do with burn quality. 1x is 150kbps, 2x is 300kbps, 4x is 600kbps, and so on. Maybe this is a topic of urban legend, "it worked for me", or old wives' tale, something like that. Most of us use discs chosen for...
