    Booting a Mac Plus from external SCSI2SD, setup issue

    Hello there, I have a feeling this is a relatively simple setup issue, but not having a lot of luck figuring out what I'm doing wrong. I am attempting to boot a Mac Plus using an external SCSI2SD. Specifically, going from the 25-pin connector on the mac plus to a 50-pin centronics, SCSI2SD is in...

    Unhappy Macintosh 128k, Thick vertical lines

    Hi everyone, I recently got a few compact macs from a craigslist seller - 2 128's, an SE and a Plus. Tried them all out - SE is fine, Plus is not working (though I'll address that one later), and one of the 128s seems to be in working order, asking for a boot disk. The other 128...

    Mac 128k - Black screen when floppy inserted

    Hi everyone, Looking for some help in recovering from a less-than-brilliant move on my part. I recently came across a Mac 128k for sale in my area, and quickly scooped it up. When testing it out for the first time, all seemed normal. Plugged in, turned on, and the disk icon showed up on the...
