Ok got a hard-drive for the Macintosh SE. It's a Seagate ST-157N. Appears to be a 40MB drive. It spins up and I can hear the head moving. However it won't boot from it. The floppy disk icon still comes up. Though it does appear to be "trying" to access the drive as I hear the drive head click...

Yeah the external USB Floppies are all the same kind used in PCs, so you probably can't use those to write 800k disks. :(

I have the "Legacy Recovery CD" image I got from some website. Not sure I can link to it here. But I can grab the 7.1.1 installer files off the disk and PM you those. :D I believe they are all stored as Disk Copy drive images. I would hope you have another Mac to create the disks with as you...

Yeah. Unfortunately it looks like it could be a long while before I can get an SE/30. I live in a small town so it's really unlikely I will ever find one locally and I don't drive so going out of town is out of the question. Getting one from somewhere online will probably be the only way. Yeah...

You found a pawn shop that still has old Macs? Man I wished I lived where you live. :p I do know the music store in my town has an old PowerPC Mac (similar in design to what you have), but never did see (or recall) the exact model. It was in the back office though and I don't think they are...

Nice! So it has two floppies AND a hard-drive? Looks like some aftermarket side mounted setup. I heard such a configuration wasn't officially supported by Apple at the time. :p MacOS 7.5? I personally wouldn't recommend running 7.5 on a SE. (I tried it on my Macintosh Classic way back when I...

Oh. Well I shall PM him about that then. :p

I managed to navigate to the General Controls control panel despite not having a mouse and saw that the date was on 1/1/04 (1904 I assume). Yeah PRAM battery appears to be dead. My OCD was compelling me to remove this ticking time bomb from my Mac: I checked it with a small LED I have and it...

Thanks for the response! Yeah I agree the SE is a great start on getting a compact Mac. I could have also gotten a Macintosh Plus or 128k/512k. But for what ever reason I prefer to have something that can use an internal hard-drive (without doing some wierd after-market mods to the system. :p...

A week or so ago, I bought a Macintosh SE (SuperDrive) from eBay. The seller sold it to me for $60 + 17.68 shipping. Which given the price this and other compac Macs were selling for looked like a decent deal. Though it did not come with any additional accesories. It did however have a Asente...
