Hello all,
I'm new to this list, so please bare with me. We have a Performa 460 that I
am trying to get into reasonably good running order. My wife works in the
Los Angeles Unified School district and we want to donate this computer with
it's trusty StyleWriter, and 33.6 Global Village modem to a poor, but
serious and deserving student at her middle school.
I am researching what I can do to make this a better machine, without
spending any serious money. Many years ago, I installed a 500 m hard drive
and additional RAM bringing it all the way up to 12 megs (wow!). The system
is still the original one, 7.1P6. We are still looking for backup disks as I
don't believe that this shipped with system disks. I do have an ancient SCSI
CD drive that I have yet to test with it.
Several questions present themselves right off the bat:
1.) Is there a better system for this machine, and where would I get it?
2.) If I stay with this I am getting a dialog about an Apple Share error at
startup and can't seem to correct it, any ideas?
3.) If anybody has any suggestions for me in this endeavor, I would
appreciate it.
