On a whim, I
then hooked up the 512k to the drive through the little circuit board that
was inside the external drive casing. The drive did not go into the eject
cycle, so I stuck in a 400k disk. To my surprise, I got a happy Mac. May
elation was soon crushed, as the machine locked up when it hit the "Welcome
to Macintosh." screen. The dialog box came up with that message, and
immediately the dialog box started flashing rapidly and the computer locked
up. I tried a number of known-good bootable 400k disks all to the exact
same end.
Any idea what causes this? I have seen it on other computers and on the Basilisk II emulator... running a version of Mac OS that should run on that particular hardware. For Basilisk, it was a version of Mac OS supported by the emulator and even INSTALLED IN the emulator. Weird...
