    Is this too much $ and work for a noob.

    which tower? Beige or blue&white? If it's beige youll be able to make disks, (long story short, to make 800k disks you need a mac with a built in floppy drive. a usb one won't work) if you end up needing some 800k floppy disks with a system image on them to get started, i'm willing to make...

    Is this too much $ and work for a noob.

    (for those without a facebook, screenshot of listing) Selling a classic Apple Macintosh Plus (Model M0001A). This machine does power on, but it does NOT come with the power cord, so you’ll need to supply your own to run it. Condition Notes: • Powers on ✔️ • No power cord included ❌...

    Is this too much $ and work for a noob.

    Doesn't appear to have a keyboard or mouse either, which for the 128, 512, and plus, are propritary(though i believe you can get/make adapters?) Personally I'd keep an eye out for an SE as a 1st compact mac, uses an ADB keyboard/mouse which are much more common.

    holy necro thread batman!(but this gives me the chance to talk about my setup as well, so thanks for the bump!)

    BlueSCSI CD switcher

    Yeah, the main reason to use the external power is if your machine does not support termination power(which isn't too many, Mac Plus without a mod, the IISI, and I think like, some adapters for Powerbooks to connect a DB25 to the powerbook external SCSI Connector)

    BlueSCSI CD switcher

    If you're removing the SD card from the bluescsi while it's on, putting more CD images on the SD card, and putting the SD card back into the BlueSCSI, yeah you'd need to reset the bluescsi with the reset button on the Pico since when the BlueSCSI boots up is when it looks for images. (If...
