I'll give duplicating the applications a go and see if that works. The hard drive I'm using at the moment is the HD20SC which had System 6.0.1 on it, so first thing I did was upgrade it to System 6.0.8. Don't know if that caused any issues. I might try re-formatting the hard drive at some...

The major benefit for me is being able to transfer files to and from the Plus without messing around with floppies. I've got a pc on my network which has an ftp server and I also have that location mapped as a drive from my Win7 pc. So I can download stuff for the Plus via my Windows machine...

I'm a newcomer to the old Mac OS's, only really got involved with it due to buying some old compact macs through ebay. So this subject is probably old hat to many on here, but a problem I'm having with my Plus running system 6.0.8 is that when I double click on a file it doesn't launch in...

I first attempted to connect the plus to my Win7 pc via serial but could not get it to work. My next task is to try and connect the 512k I have to the plus via serial.

I paid around $60 for the DaynaPort adapter, these are pretty rare, in my time looking around ebay I've only ever seen a couple posted for sale, so if you can get one go for it. The cable attached to the DaynaPort is a CAT6, just using standard ethernet connectors. Throughput is quite good, I...

Yeah, I adjusted it bigger when it was apart, I think I went a bit too far, will fix next time it's apart. More pics of the back as requested.

I've had a Mac Plus project on the go for a while now, it's been upgraded to 4 meg or ram, it also came with a CMS 20 meg HD and I've also added an original HD20SC. Most recently I also got a DaynaPort SCSI/Link-T ethernet adapter. The CMS hd works fine with the Plus without a SCSI...

I've done some searching and testing and have heard that these units require a 12v center positive adapter. I tried a couple that I have and found one that works. It's a 12v center positive 300ma.

Hi All, I've got my hands on Dyna a scsi to ethernet adapter (DaynaPORT SCSI/Link-t ). But I don't have a power adapter for it. I've tried a multi-adapter and tried various voltages for it up to 12v but it doesn't power on. If anyone has one of these that are working can you tell me the...

This is the cable I bought: http://www.ebay.com/itm/360174238347?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 It says RS232 serial printer modem cable, so it sounds like it's a printer cable. Thanks for the tip about taking the null modem cable out of the loop I'll try it.

I tried connecting the macplus to my pc via a serial cable. Cable on the macplus end has a din connector that goes into the plus's printer or modem port and a 25 pin connector that I've attached to a null modem cable then into the pc via a usb to serial cable. I know a lot of cables. Last...

I loaded up Netscape communicator 3 and also tried IE5 both work reasonably well. But all I really need is FTP and Anarchie works great. I simply download stuff from the web to my NAS box which I can then access via FTP, that's easier than browsing via the powerbook. Yes, thought about...

An update on this, I've managed to get the Powerbook on the network! I managed to download open transport 1.1 and 1.2 from the apple support site. There's four images with each install but you can fit two images onto a 1.4 floppy, so I copied all the install images to the powerbook and mounted...

Hey Classic, Thanks for that. I did notice after I bought the laptop off eaby that you had posted it on here. Thanks for the info. It works great for transferring stuff using the floppy drive but it shouldn't be too hard to connect it to the net so I can download stuff directly to it and...

I just bought an old Powerbook 530c to use to transfer files across to the MacPlus, works great. The powerbook has an ethernet adapter which I've connected to my local network but the installed system (7.6.1) doesn't seem to have any networking components installed. The powerbook didn't come...

That's not a bad idea, I have MiniVMac running on the PC. Although I didn't think the serial port in MiniVMac would be mapped to the pc serial port, does anyone know if it is?

Just bought a Powerbook 520c laptop for $40, so my plan is to use the laptop which has a 1.4hd superdrive and ethernet connection to transfer stuff to the plus. I'll let people know how it goes.

thanks for the link 128, yeah I've been doing a fair bit of reading on this subject and I've read that it can be done by connecting the plus to the PC via a null modem serial cable to each computer's serial ports. I've got an old null modem cable that I used to use between pc's so I've odered...

Hi All, Great site. I recently bought a couple of old Mac Plus'. One is in really good condition and has a CMS 20 meg hd, it fires up and everything on it seems to work great. The other one works but has a damaged case and defective floppy but would be good for some of the parts i.e. screen...
