Operating System / System 7 Info
July 15, 2014, 20:02 |
Hi All, I'm Gerry and started using Apple computers with the Apple IIe. Anyway, I've started collecting classic Macs. I presently have two LC 475s (one with an Apple IIe card) and an SE/30. All have System 7.5.3 on them. I bought a copy of the System 7.5 Missing manual and have been reading it to understand how System 7 works. The problem is I need a basic tutorial on how the Mac OS works, what's in the System Folder and how it relates to what I find as I poke around. I've purchased SCSI external HDs and enclosures as one thing I would like to do is repartition the HD in the 475 to put a ProDOS partition on it for the IIe card. I also want to hook these Macs to my network and brouse the internet but I have no idea how to do that or what control panels are needed to make it work. I have an ethernet card in one 475 and the SE/30. For the second 475 with the IIe card I bought a SCSI ethernet I/F but haven't connected it yet. I want to learn more before I start installing things and blow something up. Obviously, the first thing I need to do is back up the system drives so I can recover if needed. I also bought some Appletalk adapters and cables to play with that as well. FYI, I own a late 2008 Mac Pro, a 2007 Mackbook Pro, and a late 2013 15" MBP with Retina display, 16 GBs of RAM and a 1 TB SSD. That MBP is amazing. I hit the power button and 15 seconds later I'm at the login prompt. The Mac Pro doesn't boot that fast with an SSD system drive. Anyway, thank you for your help and i look forward to learning more about System 7. Thanks, Gerry |
