So here is my latest dilemma. Thanks in no small part to Phreakout's help, I was able to successfully boot my SE/30 from the internal hard drive, and access the contents of the hard drive. I initially booted from a Disk Tools floppy, ran Disk First Aid, and suddenly the hard drive appeared...

Thanks Phreakout! I tried booting the SE/30 from a floppy while holding down the shift key, but that didn't do the trick. While I'm waiting for your OS disks, is there any method I can use to copy a complete Apple OS to a set of floppies using my Windows PC? The complete System 7.5.3 is...

OK guys, excellent suggestions. I have some good news and some bad news. The Macintosh Classic I have now is indeed a Classic 1. Following Phreakout's instructions, I successfully booted from the ROM, formatted a new 1.44 MB floppy disk, copied the System Folder and "blessed" the System Folder...

That was a thought I had, but JLW's original instructions stated that PC floppies are fine, so I never changed the formatting.

Since I can now read and write floppy disks, I checked out JLW's detailed post regarding a method to get the SE/30 to boot from a Network Access system disk. Unfortunately, however, I'm having a lot...

That's yet another hitch: When I purchased the machine, the boot disk wasn't included because the operating system was on the hard drive. The machine was running OS 7.5.5. What's the easiest/fastest way for me to obtain a boot disk?

Hi everyone: I've encountered a boot problem with my Macintosh SE/30, and given that I'm a novice with these machines, I'm hoping someone here can help me troubleshoot. The logic board of the machine had Simasimac when I first acquired it, so I recently had it re-capped by forum member...

Brilliant, thanks Phreakout. Sent you a PM. And thanks to everyone else for your input.

Hi everyone: I'm a new member here, and I came across this forum while searching for information about my Macintosh SE/30's debilitating SimasiMac condition. I've been reading the various threads about this issue with some curiosity, and began the process of dismantling the SE/30. While I've...
