Macintosh±OrInBetween Starting Member 8 Posts	Posted - 14 Aug 2003 : 15:58:20 I'm new here, stumbled onto the site looking for info about a PRAM battery this morning, so naturally I registered. I live in the U.S., the main places I search in are a large Goodwill (about the size of a super wal-mart), and a small YMCA thrift shop which has racks and racks of keyboards, and the occasional stray macintosh. The 68k machines and equipment I liberated (Not much, but I haven't been in the business long): Macintosh SE/$1.98 Thrift Shop As Is (All original,8MHz MC68000, 1MB RAM, 20SC internal HDD, 800k disk drive, System 6.02, Software: Word 5.1, MacWrite II, Calendar Maker, Virus RX, Pyro! Screen saver.) Macintosh LC 475/$1.98 Thrift Shop As Is (Gutted. Needs hard drive, floppy drive, case fan. I added the jumper to change gestalt to Quadra 605) Apple ImageWriter II/$2.35 Goodwill No Markings (Good Condition, Slightly Yellowed, with name of West Va. Public School scratched into one side. Works, but need drivers) Why? I absolutely cannot stand Windows. Ever since Windows 98, it's been like this: Looks pretty from a distance, New Features, Updated IE (Integrated Exploder/Internet Explorer), More Blue Screens. And then I used a macintosh. It was much easier to use, and much more trouble-free. (I could actually click on something without getting a Blue Screen.) Rank: Technician 68k's Liberated: Macintosh SE, Macintosh LC 475. 68k-related Equipment: ImageWriter II

Count yourself lucky! my SE, while it has the 1.44meg floppy drive, has no hard drive. I have a floppy driven mac, and with one disk drive thats not very fun. EDIT: hmm, you might want to consider upgrading that System to 6.0.8, it runs beautifully on my SE and includes the drivers for all the apple printers, which would solve your printer-driver issue. Edit #2: Forgot the link: here is where you can download it; sorry Edit #3: grr... forgot quotation marks on the URL. ________________________ IBM PS/2 Fanboy http://www.kevcave.tk = The Kevcave Manager, the llama-X project..
