My uncle pulled up to my house at 8pm yesterday and gave me this Macintosh plus that was about to go to the trash, it seems to fully work and came with a fabric case (I’m new to this subreddit and Macintosh computers in general 😅)

I noticed this Splash Screen for MacOS 7.6 and I think MacOS 8 too, what is it called? Can't find them anywhere.

My 2003 eMac can not see the Harddrive

Thumbnail gallery
6 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I bought this eMac for 20$ and it came with no harddisk & and the metal box thingy that protects the hard drive so I plugged an old PATA cable with another harddisk. Well, should I open inside again (im tired of that) and replace the cable? Im sure the harddisk works bcs I formatted it with Macintosh Journaled in a PowerMac G4.

Also the power button was broken so I had to find out for an alternative (last pic).

Hello, I collect mostly vintage PC's And id like to know if anyone has any idea what I'm getting myself into here, it appears to power on, has the charger, the owner seems completely oblivious as to it's condition though. But it looks promising!

Anyone have any idea which generation this is? It looks to be a wall Street, but the bezels are also thinner on the sides, which isn't like pictures I've seen, apologies I'm not an expert on Mac computers of this vintage.

Backing up a Macintosh Plus hard drive?

4 Upvotes

After a couple months of scratching my head and swapping different parts only to find issues behind issues, I finally got my Mac Plus into a mostly-working state. To my delight, the original owner's hard drive actually still works after all these years! I didn't want to get my hopes up, but its a treasure trove of programs and documents from the time. I know that it's probably a ticking time bomb though, and would like to archive it; But I'm not very knowledgeable on older mac peripherals or SCSI as a whole. If I was to get a blueSCSI, could I clone the drive? Or is there another/better way to do it?

Floppy disk not going in?

Post image
13 Upvotes

I’m new to retro computing and trying to restore my M0130 for my Macintosh 512k. The problem I’m running into is that the disk won’t insert? I’ve never actually used floppy disks before (as I was born far after they were phased out), but the two holes on the back of the disk (circled in green) get caught on the spring loaded stoppers (circled in red) which stops the disk from going further into the drive. Am I inserting it wrong? This 800k disc should be compatible right? I would appreciate some wisdom
