Hi folks... I read through the FAQ, but I wasn't clear on parts of it and was hoping to get some clarification direct from the listmembers... here's my situation.
I've just been given a Mac SE, with 4 mb RAM, 20 MB hard drive, but only 800KB floppy drive. All of the other machines in my house are wintels, and I'm a total Mac newbie. Unfortunately, the system diskettes are corrupted. I've already downloaded 800K image files for system 6.08, but from what I'm reading, there's no way for me to get those images onto the Mac, since I can't write to a Mac 800KB diskette from my PC (?) Is there an easy way to determine whether this motherboard will accept an FDHD or Superdrive (assuming I can find one somewhere)? That would solve my system problems in short order. Ideally, I'd like to connect the Mac to the internet, but through an ethernet card (which one?) connected to my hub rather than a modem. I apologize if I'm the umpteenth person to ask this sort of stuff, but I'm just wondering if it's worth the effort to try and get this venerable old beastie up & running or not.
