Re: What OS Should my Macintosh SE run?

I'm not sure if I'M reading this wrong, but I don't think everyone's getting what I said. Early System 7 is basically anything before System 7.1, which came on later 68040 machines or so. I think System 6 is the sweet spot for the SE and some other late 68000 machines. -- -- - You

Re: What OS Should my Macintosh SE run?

It's not necessarily just an SE thing. I wouldn't recommend anything later than early System 7 on any 68000 Macintosh... ...And yes, that does include the classic. -- -- - You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group. The list FAQ is at

Re: What OS Should my Macintosh SE run?

I agre with superstar64. System 6.0.7 (or 6.0.8) would be a sweet spot for a Mac SE. Pretty stable and nice snappy performance. System 7.0.1 would work well, but is a bit "laggy" on the SE. -- -- - You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group. The list

Re: What OS Should my Macintosh SE run?

I would recommend System 6 or so and maybe System 7, but I wouldn't recommend anything higher than that, seeing as later System 7 versions look more aged on a B screen rather than a colored screen where it actually looks decent. also System 7 is probably pushing the 68000 chip farther than

True. I'd try re soldering the fly-back transformer & power connectors. Might as well plan on a re-cap of the logic board as well. On Sunday, October 8, 2017 at 12:47:28 AM UTC-4, Chris Hanson wrote: > > It’s very likely an analog board issue, rather than an issue of software > or the hard

It’s very likely an analog board issue, rather than an issue of software or the hard disk. What exactly does the vertical stripe effect look like? -- Chris > On Oct 7, 2017, at 7:11 PM, Sam Taber wrote: > > Hi, > > I recently obtained a Macintosh SE for 10 dollars,
