Re: Put a pic of a peice of history
I once owned a Macintoish SE/30, with a hard drive and a floppy drive.. don't recall the specifications.

Ohh, did you get rid of it??

In 2003/2004 or so, the keyboard was broken.. didn't have the hard to acquire screw driver to disassemble the thing.. it was damned heavy.NickG wrote:Ohh, did you get rid of it??
As far as I recall, it had System 6 or 7.. various games.. 720K floppy drive, electronic ejecting.. like a LS-120 SuperDisk drive.
I probably should have kept it, but there is little sense dwelling on past mistakes.

As for old Macintosh pictures, here is one. Sadly it isn't an original Mac but rather a Mac Classic. It had the interesting feature of having an version of System 6 stored in ROM, so it could work without having a system disk.

Re: Put a pic of a peice of history
Oh, yeah, that was one of the better easter eggs Apple put into their Macs. I think it was "Command-Option-X-O" at boot that would put it into the romdisk mode. IIRC it wasn't really an easter egg but more of a debug feature for getting the Appletalk connection to work so the Mac could boot over the Appletalk network from some unreleased Mac server somewhere. Unfortunately I don't know of any emulators that can play with this feature, as I (legally) have a Mac Classic ROM image.ucosty wrote:It had the interesting feature of having an version of System 6 stored in ROM, so it could work without having a system disk.
