Hardware / Resurrecting a Performa 400
January 03, 2007, 17:22 |
Thanks for your reply here, Bill. I have multiple PCs on line no problem, and my son (visiting from college for a few more days) has a beautiful new MacBook (pretty sure it's called; the newest little laptops running about $1300-1500, very very nice machines) that's on our home LAN. It doesn't have a floppy drive, of course...grr. I have an external Dell USB floppy drive unit; could we use that?? Finally, I do have a few Mac-formatted "MF2HD-1.4MB" floppies on hand, that I know work OK in the Quadra. Thanks much for your help! --Charley |

Sorry, me again here; I should note that, like the original poster, I've got ANOTHER machine, in my case, an ~ identical Quadra 610, that works as far as I recall. Is there a straightforward way to use that machine to produce a boot floppy that I can use to get the other one going again? As is probably woefully clear, I have little older Mac experience and no old manuals, etc. Sigh. Anyhow, I thought I'd note this, too. Thanks again--Charley Hale |

Hello--I am a brand new member as of a couple of minutes ago, thanks for being here, all. I'm pretty much in the same boat as vtcessnapilot, only with a Quadra 610. In my case, I was trying to "clean up" some issues with it (e.g. can't get it to stop running a screen saver and can't find any folder devoted to monitor setup, screen saver, etc.!) and I "threw away" something needed to get past the "floppy with question mark" point in boot-up. Duh. Can anyone here provide me with a OS 7.x boot floppy I could use to get this guy going again? Thanks much--Charley Hale, Lafayette CO |
