I was walking in my neighborhood this weekend when I saw a dirty but otherwise intact Mac SE (1MB RAM, 800K drive, 20MB HD). I took it home (of course) against my girlfriend's wishes and plugged it in. At first the Mac icon with the question mark came on. I could hear the hard drive doing its thing but nothing. I switched off the power and tried once more. This time the normal Mac icon booted up followed by "Welcome to Macintosh". As the GUI screen booted a "CPS SE upper drive fix not needed with this System verion." and "CPS Delete Tracking installed (v2.0)" showed. As icons loaded on screen a system error ID = 15 crashed the computer.
Youngster. My Plus (originally a 512K is 19+ years old. BTW, the SE was released 4/1987 so it's 17 1/2 (or less).
Checked online and learned a ID = 15 error is a segment loader error. I can only guess that a program (CPS?) is causing the problem. Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks.
I think hold down the shift key at boot worked way back then, try it (it prevents the extensions from loading).
