Swap the Finder on that LC for one that matches the System 6 System file. You'll find it easier to navigate the file system.

The IIe card piggybacks onto Mac video and takes over the screen. It should work with one of the third party SCSI graphics adapters. Or one of the clip on Power R graphics adapters. But it doesn't have its own video out.

Have you got QuickTime 2.5 installed? It supports Component Manager which you might be missing. For your config, do not go to System 7.5.5. If you can't get 7.0.x running, recreate your system using 7.1 plus patches.

Bummer. The LC575 combo with a Comm Slot card may not work according to the Apple Tech Note. If you have time, give it a try, creating different extension sets with and without Ethernet. Logically, the Comm Slot requires 32 bit addressing, so it won't work with the IIe card.

The card works the same way, irrespective of Mac model and OS version. Normally, an Ethernet card goes into the LC PDS slot in order to retain sanity. But if you want the Apple IIe card, you can't have your cake and eat it. I'd go for a model with a Comm Slot port or one that is happy with a...

Have you confirmed that you have internet connectivity? Can you use Telnet? Can you ping external hosts? Have you tried Netscape 1.1, the easiest Mac browser to get going?

Thanks both.

I worked with a bunch of Mac programmers in the 1980s who wibbled with an Amiga at home. The Amiga and Atari ST were great computers but they were an even smaller market than the Mac. There was just no space in the commercial market for them.

At which point it is pertinent to shut Trash80 up. Radius et al made fine NuBus cards that deliver high res quickly. Radius and a few others made great PCI hi res cards. Built-in Mac graphics adapters are functionally limited. If you can live with 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768 without many colours...

This is a Lazyweb request. Don't research it but answer if you know off the top of your head. The Mac Plus allegedly assigns a higher processor interrupt to the Modem port. Is this true, and does it apply to the earlier models? Does it apply to later models? My back of an envelope calculation...

That timescale pretty much ties up with the launch of 32 bit QuickDraw (April 1989). Graphics card manufacturers had created 24 bit colour boards before that date but each one implemented the functionality in a different way. Software developers had to write around the limitations of Color...

Get the AAUI adapter and save a NuBus slot. You'll need it for a SCSI accelerator. Trash80 would fit a Radius or SuperMac NuBus 24 bit video card in your circumstances, and so would I. The other option would be RasterOps but I got bitten back in the day by their lousy driver support and have yet...

Right away there was good software for the Mac II, just not colour software. Excel calculations or database sorts ran five times more quickly, even before the apps were optimised. Scientific and engineering apps that used the FPU became monstrously fast. And the Mac II really gave the graphics...

There is a £ symbol on the top row. That means the keyboard is UK layout. The utility Localizer adds the appropriate KB resources to early system disks.

Remember when the Mac II first shipped there was almost zero software that could make use of the colour capability. We had to wait until August 1987 for SuperMac to launch PixelPaint.

Yup, that is what happens when you use an original UK layout keyboard with US system software. Run Localizer to configure a copy of your system disk for UK layout.

The Apple HD20SC enclosure is designed to accommodate a 3.5" or 5.25" hard disk. There is bucket loads of space.

Oh no you can't. The original SE has a different chassis which would prevent the SE/30 PDS slot from being fully used. This was fixed with later SEs but the SE --> SE/30 upgrade kit allowed for a chassis replacement as well as the front panel. The dealers must have loved that...

And the RGB versions (with a bit of help again) will connect a VGA monitor to an Apple IIgs.
