Posible conquest: LCIII!

BTW, for those SCSI HDs, try searching at mom-n-pop computer stores which have a used parts bargain bin. I found my 9.1 GB Seagate (that's currently in my Macintosh LC 475) at one for $5.

and if you find a 68-pin SCSI hard drive for cheap, you can use a 68-50 pin converter (extremely cheap).

 
yeah, well i doubt i'll find a scsi harddrive for like... $4.

I spent all of my pocket money on the LC III, the monitor adaptor, and the PC floppy drive, and i am not getting money out of my bank account - that's going for a new MacBook so i can ditch this PC laptop!

;)

 
ok. I don't have enough pocket money to get it right now, but i'm assuming that you searched for 'Apple SCSI hard drive' to get that?

 
Oh, and i asked my grandma who works at a school to ask the computer guy if they had some spare parts, i made a list of what i want, and it included 50 pin scsi harddrives!

*crosses fingers*

 
Great plan! Just a note, it would be wise to ask for any SCSI hard drives, as the converters go for chump change on eBay.

 
Oh, and someone said that it probebly had 16/32mb of ram? i'm hoping its 32, as that gives me an (Apple) maxed out 36mb of ram!

 
it's ram simm has 16 464M4B1 chips. Anyone wanna look at some RAM SIMMS and see if you see any 416M4B1 chips, then tell me how big said ram simm is?

 
Oops! didnt read it right. its a 32meg chip!

EDIT: My ram SIMM has 16 Micron Technology Inc. Dram 5volt CMOS 4Megx4 2K refresh Fast Page Type Behuizing 60ns chips!

:p

 
About the OS, if you're going to use the newest OS it can run, get a copy of 8.1. No, wait, NetBSD ;) . You would be SERIOUSLY wasting your time with 7.6, 7.5.5/7.1 is the way to go. I don't believe you mentioned whether you were going to try getting it on the internet, either.
