Hi - If you're "investigating" the possibilities, you might also want to try using Wish I Were to change the Apple system "identification" of the Mac 128K to a Mac 512K?
I'm not sure that the 128K *has* a different system ID (my earliest working Mac is an SE), but if it does, and you suspect some original "marketing misdirection", it would be worth a shot for sake of curiousity, ne? --- brandon davis --- -- sacramento, ca -- ----- Original Message ----- 14. HD20 INIT HACK FOR 128k ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 19 Mar 2005 11:22:41 -0800 Subject: HD20 INIT HACK FOR 128k From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>But I think Apple intentionally crippled the HD20 from loading on a 128k and since the 128k uses the same 64k ROM that the 512k does (which loads it just fine thank you very much), the ONLY thing the HD20 can use to differentiate between the 128k and the 512k is the RAM. Either the HFS aware system, finder, or the INIT itself (or any combination of the three), checks the installed RAM reported by the system and if the value is less than 512k, the INIT refuses to load. If anyone else has any insight into this I would appreciate it. -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
