A Classic Conquest

[MultiFinder]

Well, I finally liberated that old Classic that I'd babbled about a few times before from the opressive closet at my old school. It's beat up, its screen is wobbly, and sound seems to be non-functional, but it boots into System 6.0.7 beautifully.

Now I can take its ROMs and try them in my Classic II

Very nice, I saw the photos

Good Luck!

Good work! What's the point of swapping the roms over though? And would you really want to risk buggering up your Classic II?

 

[MultiFinder]

Eh, I found out it wouldn't work anyway. The Classic uses one long ROM chip while my Classic II uses 4 ROM chips.

 

[heebiejeebies]

Yah, but what were you trying to do? Other than get lynched by us for killing two machines. :

I think he wanted to try the Rom-based OS that only the Classic I has.

 

[heebiejeebies]

Oh.

WHY??!!!

Nothing exciting about it. Fantastic idea though, all Macs should have that. My classic with the dead hard disk would have been useless without it. As it is, I can get it to work reasonably well as a floppy based system. You can even use file sharing through the rom startup disk.
