Matt, i had the same problem with a classic II i was given by a mate a few weeks back. i had to replace the system battery before i could get the machine to boot. can i suggest you find the OS that the system sold with and use it rather than any later ones....
http://mes.emuunlim.com/software/macos/macos.htm i would think it will be some time before they are worth anything more than spare change. however, as a collector of other old crap, i myself intend adding to my collection... try getting complete and functioning examples of 'classic' machine in their highest factory spec. they are the things that will command the highest price in the future if at all.... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matthew Fisher" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Compact Macs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2003 8:15 AM Subject: Rookie > I have recently inherited a Mac 512K in excellent cond.
