800K boot floppies for a MacSE? I /probably/ have something that would work, but I'd have to go digging into some very dark places.
What system level are you looking for? IIRC I've put up to system 7.1 onto an SE, but it's slow as a dog. It would probably be happier with something line System 6.1, Finder 6.0.7 I'm suspecting some other Mac heads will offer up a set of disks. If you don't get a response, let me know. -----Original Message----- From: Ian Meyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Oct 9, 2005 1:46 AM To: Triangle Linux Users Group discussion list <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [TriLUG] OT: What to do with old floppies? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Actually, this brings me around, to a slightly-OT topic, but On-T for this thread... I have an old MacSE that needs a system installation. It boots up to the "?" symbol. Only problem is, its not a SE model with a "SuperDrive" that can read the newfangled 1.44 mb floppies, just those 800k ones. So anyone have some? No need to reply to the list, just drop me a line, t'would be much appreciated. thanks ~ian On Oct 8, 2005, at 9:58 PM, Chris Merrill wrote: > Kevin Otte wrote: > >> Given that the floppy drive is all but extinct, what the heck do I >> do with >> these relics of a bygone era? >> > > Hard to believe, but if they are single- or double-density, you can > probably > sell them on eBay.
