I have successfully booted even the 128k Guided Tour disk (System .85) on my Classic. I've had more luck with a useful(?) system by copying the System files to a HD floppy and booting the Classic there with 1.1g and .97.
The ancient systems seem to have no trouble reading floppies and even HDs, but trying to format them doesn't do too well. Incidentally, even System 1 works fine at 800x600 resolution. How's that for support of the future? :) Scott Holder -----Original Message----- From: Vintage Macs [mailto:vintage.macs@;mail.maclaunch.com] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 17, 2002 6:59 PM To: Vintage Macs Subject: hi list. I have a compact question, but its slightly related. I have a Mac Classic (with the expansion board) and have been running it in system 6.0.8. It runs productivity apps (ie macwrite, macpaint, etc) just fine. i've been hearing about how the classic is just like the plus in the way that it can run OLD system software like "1.1g". i've also heard that this may cause problems with the hard drive. Is the support for FDHD and HFS built into the ROM or is that something the OS is supposed to provide? thx -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
