I have my 733 Quicksilver to get me by with "real" stuff. I got this one mostly for the floppy drive, so now I can make boot floppies for the MacII So, I still need help with realigning the heads on the MacII floppy before the boot disks that I make on the G3 will work. And I also am looking to get a computer that can Run, OS9 (G4, and new G3) OS8 (New G3) System 7 (some unknown mac) and system 6 (Mac II). Just hope to obtain this collection for very little money over time.
