Hardware / Performa 550 Upgrades
October 29, 2006, 18:03 |
I'm curious about the best way to upgrade my old Performa 550. Basically I just want to see what it can do, so I really have no purpose for it besides maybe playing those old mac games and just goofing off with it. I know I'll probably end up spending more on it than what it's really worth but that's ok. I'm curious if this 2G would be overkill or if I should look at something a bit smaller. http://www.welovemacs.com/scsi2gb.html Also, what about the Sonnet Presto Plus to add a little more RAM and Ethernet support? http://www.welovemacs.com/prplmuupca.html Thanks! Your comments/suggestions are appreciated! |

i'm pretty sure that my performa only has the standard RAM considering my parents bought it for the family back in the day and none of us really knew much about computers back then. are you sure that a 7.6.1 cd will work on my performa? for some reason i was thinking that I had to start with the OS that came with my performa and then upgrade to 7.6.1 btw, thanks for your help. i really appreciate this. |

i may be off the mark here, but i think i just need a bootable cd, right? (i assume i can't boot from a single floppy) right now i don't have access to a mac running anything previous to OS X, so does that mean my best option is looking for a Performa 550 system disc off ebay? |

yeah, i would hate to have to actually buy the discs, but i would be more than willing to pay for postage and such if i can find somebody willing to make a bootable disk for me. i have a feeling that my Performa won't read a burned disc. I burned the system 7 disc image to a cd and didn't have any luck having it boot from the cd. then again, i'm not sure if i made the disc wrong either. |

i found this site a few months ago but never really got around to using it. My parents gave me our old Performa 550. It was running for a while and i would use it to play game like tetris and some centipede game that i can never remember the name of. anyway, my performa can't seem to find the start up disk and i have no way to make a system 7 boot disk. I'm hoping i can find some help on this site. thanks! |
