    Picked up a few macs, don't know where to start

    If you happen to not need one of the 605s, let me know, I’m interested!

    Goodwill find: Mac SE

    It was your hard work! I did take my time on my SE that was battery bombed and was able to get it going again. Also used evaporust for the chassis which I think I passed on. Stuff works great!

    AOL Dialup is gone!

    Had cable since 2000. Never used anything else since. I still have my Blockbuster shirt and name tag in storage somewhere.

    Building a new LocalTalk (and LToUDP) to Ethernet gateway

    This is unfortunate.

    @Snial - UBI would be fine...as long as it is "Universal" - meaning everyone gets it.

    Best thing is just chill, live your life, and don't care about what others are doing (or are supposedly doing) around you. You worry about you and those in your immediate vicinity.

    PowerBook 1400 battery - what cell type?

    The nub batteries are too big end to end to close the case when you are done. Usually the place you get the batteries at will tack weld strips on for you (at least they will here).

    Is there a way to tell which SE/30's had Maxell batteries?

    The ones that don’t have incorrectly placed apostrophes in their names :p

    Integrated Tashtari Machine: Floppy Drive Emulator

    It’s more that whole bit of transferring files is easier if I can just stick the SD card into an old Mac that already has the files I need. I know, I’m the exception here!

    Integrated Tashtari Machine: Floppy Drive Emulator

    I’d pay big money if you could get it to read SD cards with GUID mapping and MacOS Extended formatting .P

    Possible To Hide Partition / Drive From Desktop On Classic Mac?

    Sneaky. I suppose with some font trickery this would be possible. Another possibility would be to have a completely white desktop pattern...

    Possible To Hide Partition / Drive From Desktop On Classic Mac?

    That would partially work: you will still have a small white rectangle where you typed a space to get rid of the name.

    Possible To Hide Partition / Drive From Desktop On Classic Mac?

    As @robin-fo states, it may be possible to "Get File Info..." from ResEdit on the partition itself, and set the "Invisible" flag. Never tried it...but it is possible that it works.

    Falcon F-16 v2.0 in multiplayer....Mac Plus <-> 486 PC!

    If you figure out how to do this over the internet one day, I’ll play it against you with my SE :). This is a neat one! Anxious to see how the cable goes.

    System P-7.1 Bootable 800K Floppy Flop!

    I would venture that running System 3 and copying it allows for something to be set that System 7 does not do (or does something else) to the boot blocks that will not allow System 3 to start up. I’d bet if you copied the System 3 System Folder under System 7, but then started from a System 6...
