Haven´t posted in a while. Hopefully, everyone is fine and all Macs alive. Well, my intention was to use this Mac as a writing tool for my various papers. I wasn´t able to aquire a laser or style writer, though. Networking seems the only long-term solution. I read about configuring a System 6...

I`ve always thought it was intended. How funny!

Thanks for the answers. Now I'm just wondering if I got Apple RAM or 3rd party. Which RAM would be the one Apple sold as kits? Thanks again.

Just wondering, could one originally order a Plus with already 4 MB shipped from factory? Or did only dealers upgrade them? Are there any visible signs if a case was opened? Thanks

I guess I will continue posting on a day by day (week by week basis) how things are going and developing with me and Mac+. Appreciate comments and hints along the road. Of course, I let Mac doing things I easily could do with my Vista laptop or iBook, but the advantage Mac has is the boot and...

It has already 4 MB. So, this worry is less. It came with Pyro. I´ll look into scsi disks. Although 20,30,40 MB seems again so much now....lol......

Multifinder, thanks for the welcome. I do operate under a ceiling fan and I think it should just be fine like this. Maybe I even get one of those retro desktop fans to give me and Mac some more air. If it wasn´t for advanced internet, I could make do with it forever, I guess. BTW, I never...

Interesting read the fan thingy and great reasoning Mac128k. Maybe they wanted to please those folks who thought like Jobs and didn´t want noise at least on one system of the line. Maybe they simply "forgot" to update it. maybe with other choices available in their line later, the reasoned...

If you see how many Plus anyway were used: in a setup together wiht an external HD containing a noise producing fan, many wouldn´t have mind another fan in the case since the myth of the fanless system was broken anyway.

Just wanted to announce that F7274XTM0001A is back to active duty officially today, April 9th. I picked it up in Canada a while ago, and stored it until yesterday. I was always looking for a compact to use actively as a backup writing station and thought this Plus will just do it. Came with...

Just wanted to chime in. Got my hands on may first Plus a couple of weeks ago. No battery. I just threw in an older chargeable 1.2V AA from my camera and it works so far. This battery isn´t even fully charged. I guess before ordering, one should try anything AA in the house. If it works, one...

Or would you suggest another brand, like HP for that matter? Never had a laser one but I know that I had 4 ink printers the last decade not lasting very long and quite expensive on ink, so a good laser is always cheaper, I would say. If the printer comes with parallel or serial rather than...

If a printer has a LocalTalk interface it could be connected to either Plus or SE/30, right? Furthermore, it has to support Postscript to be of any use, right? Then, does it still run through a special System6/7 printer driver or is a generic postscript laser printer driver enough? Any...

Wow, I have to say, I'm impressed. This forum is very active and it encourages me to work with a vintage Mac with support not that far away ;D I do appreciate all advise and I understand that the SE/30 is the one with the best options of all vintage compact Macs. I'm up to the challenge of...

It's not that I'm esp. in love with the plus, its just that I might get my hands on one easily. I've been looking around for a Se/30 but couldn't find anything affordable. Some ebay prices seem to be beyond the moon.

thanks so far for all the answers. I don't mean to replace my systems running entirely. Most of the internet will be done with this ThinkPad whereas I always preferred doing my wordprocessing on my iBook with Appleworks 6 or OpenOffice. But the issues with the iBook and Mac OS X also not...

Hi guys, I'm looking into buying a Mac Plus/Se/Se30 or Classic and a Laser Writer or similiar for some productivity tasks, esp. word processing. I've never owned a classic Mac but I like the idea of a very compact and cheap system, easy to backup and doing what I want it to do without crashing...
