    How to break down big sit archives

    Happy new year! I am dealing with a bit of an issue here: got both a 520 and a 1400; and I am using the 1400 to make floppy for my SE HD and the 520. The problem is with big archives: the sit file is 4 MB, it won't fit on a floppy, so while I can use the PCMCIA-CF adapter to move the files on...

    Which laptop has a floppy that I can use to make 800k disks?

For the superdrive, I think any model of powerbook should do, since they all use 1.44 floppy drives, and if they have a USB port I can just use an external usb drive to make floppy. But for the 800k I...

    SE superdrive not able to read 800k disks?

    I did replace the original SE floppy with a superdrive, including the 3 roms. It works fine only with one disk, and this is the weird thing: 1) at boot, 800k disks does not work; the drive spit them out after a couple of spins. 2) None of my disks that were readable with the previous drive...

    I do know that the hardware is different between a SE and a SE with the superdrive, but I can't find exactly what has to be chaged. At the moment I have 3 machines sitting on my bench, and I am making a good one out of the 3 parts :) One of them has a Superdrive; the logic board is not...

    Create floppy from sit and sea.bin files on System 6

    Greetings! I was lucky enough to find a cool SCSI to SD device that I can use instead of my hard drive on the Mac SE. I am awaiting for the device to be delivered, but I did realize that I have no clue about how old image files would work. The objective is to make System 6 floppy disks using...

    Upgrading the SE: RAM and HD replacement + OS backup

    Hi all, I have finally found a Macintosh SE in decent conditions; so I decided to buy it and drive back to memory lane, when I used to work on these computers in high school. Now, I am super rusty about the whole Macintosh world of the pre-PPC; so I am looking for some guidance. First of all...
