I've acquired three over the years. Only one was fully working, even though all three power up, have the light turn on, and the drive platters spin.
One of the broken ones appears to have dead drive electronics - while the platters do spin up, it doesn't identify to the system AT ALL. And yes...
If you have a hard drive on one of the two with System 7.0 or higher on it, you can use the "Sharing Setup" control panel to start a file share on that system, then connect to it from the other Plus using Chooser, as long as you have Appletalk client on that system's boot disk.
If they are both...
Okay, that requires a *LOT* more information.
The simplest answer? Read this: http://www.applefool.com/se30/
The long answer requires more information from you.
What type of drives do you have on the two Macintosh Pluses? Is one connected to the SCSI hard drive, and the other floppy-only? Do...
Yeah. I'll probably sell one of the two AppleShares when I do my next batch of sale stuff. Keeping both MacProject because they're different versions, and both are incomplete, only making one complete set between both boxes.
8-o
How have I not known this? I simply have never tried. For ~25 years, I have just operated under the assumption that those ports were funky custom microphone ports that didn't support line-level input....
The two copies of AppleShare 4.0 are still shrinkwrapped.
I'm pretty sure I have a 'paper ream box' in my storage area with a few more pieces of boxed Apple software. (I could swear I had QT VR Authoring Kit sealed, too.)
(This is part of my ongoing effort to clean/organize my vintage...
Dug my OneScanner out of my storage area. (Slowly getting things consolodated to my main "workspace".) Figured it was appropriate to connect to the SE I've been using to test floppy disks. (Dual SuperDrive plus external 800k drive, with internal SCSI2SD.
(Love that green glow of a monochrome...
Huh - I've been able to use a standard USB floppy with 1.4M disks in every version of OS X going back to 10.1 on a beige G3 with a USB card.
Right now, my USB floppy is connected to my 10.4 running G4 Cube.
Unfortunately, not without a third-party sound card. The audio input on almost all beige Macs is a microphone in, not a line-level input. And the classic Mac OS doesn't know how to transfer the audio digitally through the data stream, only analog.
As TWF states, you need the "Audio CD Access" extension. It *SHOULD* be included with any CD-ROM Setup installer, but it may have been removed on your system. It should reside along with the "High Sierra File Access," "ISO 9660 File Access," and "Foreign File Access" extensions.
Welcome! Try not to get hooked and fill your basement/garage/attic/living room with vintage computers!
As others have said, this model is VERY prone to its capacitors going bad - you will likely have to replace them. And the sooner the better.
Also, as others have said - take out the backup...
Plenty of Terminal programs - Microphone II was the big one.
X11 - I know there was MacX, but I don't think that worked with 9.2.2, I think it was "System 7 or earlier" only.
Plastics are firmly "meh", it's even missing the upper cover (the one with the clear bit.) Don't know about the print head - it ATTEMPTED to print, and some printout did show up before it started the head-crash routine.
Okay, finally got around to hooking up the printers.
LaserWriter IINT has the "needs service" flashing light code - no matter what I do. Unless anyone wants local pickup, I'm just going to take it to my local e-recycler.
ImageWriter II powers on, the ribbon even has some ink left, but the...
