shaktiman Senior Member United Kingdom 1226 Posts	Posted - 29 Oct 2002 : 05:39:47 I got my Performa down from the attik inthe hopes of gettig it to work. The Performa will boot from an apple 7.1 boot floppy, though when I copy the system folder over to the hard drive, it wont boot from the hard drive. now I am guessing from looking at the mobo that 4 chips labled:- "Samsung 341-0474 1983-92 Apple 9251(last chip 9246)" are the rom chips, which I am thinking I can upgrade? It has to be said, & laughed at? shall I swap the tos(The Operating System) chips from my st & Performa? Surley it can't work but how do I know unless I try? Can anyone get me os 7.5.5 or earlier on floppy, preferably with the networking enbled? or if someone has an old hard drive they want to sell, that has os 7.5.5 or earlier? shaktiman Quadra 840av, prettymuchmaxedout8xcd drive,3 monitors 15" & 14" & 14" os 8.1 Powerbook Duo 280c, 12 meg ram, 500 meg hard drive Performa400(asleepintheattick)

And yes, those 4 Samsung chips are ROMs. -------------------------- Give your dreams a chance.™ - Apple in the mid '90s Warrior maclover5 68k Macintosh Liberation Army Number of 68ks Liberated: 6
