I can download it from there, but in case you've issues with the link, try directly in the Macintosh Garden

Which version of the System are you using? If it's 6.x.x, this post can answer your question. Basically, you need the AppleTalk extension.

I got those to repair a couple of units and they work... are a bit noisy, but they work.

Txs. As there's still half of the old contact, I think I'll be able to fit something... I'll post here the result... if it's not too hideous :)

Thanks for the hint. That battery contact would be expensive to me due to shipping cost to Switzerland, but you gave me the idea and in Aliexpress I can see many options that maybe I can adapt to fit. The 18650 would be too big... it wouldn't fit inside. These 4.5V batteries are hard to find...

Hello, I got a 512K that is in pretty good shape, except for the battery holder, which has one contact gone due to corrosion. I guess this battery holder is not easy at all to find, but does anyone of you know about a practical approach to restore it, or to retrofit another solution? Txs!

Just out of curiosity... could you post a photo on how it looks like when you shrink the screen to have like 2cm margin on all sides?

I'd try first to adjust the vertical and horizontal size. It seems too tall and wide.

Best thing is you talk to them... I had an issue with a kit and they solved it

Sadly yes, and you'd notice specially if go to the beach and see in the sea all those that people throws to the toilet...

Yep, now these must be paper-based...

Great! It's equally ugly than brilliant!

This topic interests me... I want to replace mine because is in bad shape and I was thinking that maybe I can use the tool to make holes in the leather belts and make a new felt pad... Or maybe with some patiente cut one with scissors. I was planning to cut it from one of these adhesive felt...

And which computer did you use to format it? Do you have the same result if you use the SE and the Classic or LC?

Did you try different floppies? Always the same resulting size?

After the format you get a "Verification" screen that checks the disks and starts reducing the size of available space? If so, I'd try another floppy or another computer...

Well... this is how I did it... I covered the HD hole and used another Mac to copy the image... I think I used the G3 Wallstreet, but this should just work with others, I guess. For the Plus is dual-sided, but not high density. Single sided is the 128K or first 512K.

What do you have at hand to write the floppy? Another classic Mac? If so, you can put a sticker to cover the HD hole in the floppy and write on it a 800K boot image.

What I did was just to clone the RASCSI repo and use easyintall.sh to install Netatalk... Does this still work? I did it several months ago... (I think all this was done by @slipperygrey for the RASCSI project, right?)
