Last question concerning my old quadra, In the memory control panel how much (cache) hidden memory should be givern (I've got 120mo de ram) and should the vituel memory be on or off

equill you're a genius, if you was'nt so far away I got a very good bottle of bordeaux with your name on it, same year as the quadra who just found his memory, many many thanks

I've booted without any simm's using only the 8mo on the HD when I open "about mac" I got 8192ko, system programme using 6777ko left only 1361ko. I booted with one simm 32mo in "about mac" I got 40960ko, system using 39488ko left only 1385ko. I tried 4 different simm's 3 32mo and one 16mo using...

What I can't understand is when I open "about your mac" I have a total memory of 122 880ko, the system program is using 121 366ko which leaves me with only 1 346 left, but when I addup all the files on my hard disk they only equal 49 000ko. Why does the system use up all the memory?

I'm running on system 7.1 and need to get an update to system 7.5.5 (french version) so I can connect a hard disk formac 3go with a scsi cable I could then store most of the files I need on this and run the quadra with only its system. Anyone know where I can get the update?

I've put out some feelers locally but no joy yet I'm afraid, If you can find me a bar or two let me know the price, I've got family in the north of England so payment could be easily arranged and post would'nt be a problem

Just like to thank TheNeil for all his help the quadra finaly started on the floppy. I still have memory problems though, anyone know where I can buy SIMMs suitable for this computer

I created the floppy but the mac ejects it when I reboot

Which one of these can I use to make a floppy startup. Is there a procedure, keybaord key to hold down etc...? Utilities Software Downloads Macintosh/Utilities/DART_Info.txt Macintosh/Utilities/Disk_Copy/About_This_Software.txt Macintosh/Utilities/Disk_Copy/Disk_Copy_4.2.sea.bin...

I've tried that. Was there a floppy or a CD sold with the quadra to boot drive on? If I can get it to start up I might be able to reinstall a new system. If so what was the procedure?

:'( I have a system failure on a quadra 650 (system 7). Can I reboot the mac using a CD (system9) or a floppy PPC 4400 & G3 If not what do I need I can't find the original floppy's. When I startup I have a sad mac with 0000000F and 00000002 Any help would be appreciated
