Alright, when you get a bigger hard drive then. xDD

I'll get a bigger HD when this ELS one fails! 😀

BTW, for those SCSI HDs, try searching at mom-n-pop computer stores which have a used parts bargain bin. I found my 9.1 GB Seagate (that's currently in my Macintosh LC 475) at one for $5.
and if you find a 68-pin SCSI hard drive for cheap, you can use a 68-50 pin converter (extremely cheap).

yeah, well i doubt i'll find a scsi harddrive for like... $4.
I spent all of my pocket money on the LC III, the monitor adaptor, and the PC floppy drive, and i am not getting money out of my bank account - that's going for a new MacBook so i can ditch this PC laptop!

Oh, yeah. the cheapest 50 pin scsi hd i found on eBay was like... $17.

You definitely can. 😉
The shop where I bought my HD from has a stack of 68-pin and 80-pin 9.1 GB SCSI hard drives for $5 each and I bet you can find them for that much somewhere else as many people are trying to get rid of them in a hurry to upgrade.
and @ the high SCSI hard drive price, here is a good drive at a nice price:

ok. I don't have enough pocket money to get it right now, but i'm assuming that you searched for 'Apple SCSI hard drive' to get that?

Oh, and i asked my grandma who works at a school to ask the computer guy if they had some spare parts, i made a list of what i want, and it included 50 pin scsi harddrives!
*crosses fingers*

good luck!

Great plan! Just a note, it would be wise to ask for any SCSI hard drives, as the converters go for chump change on eBay.

Oh, and someone said that it probebly had 16/32mb of ram? i'm hoping its 32, as that gives me an (Apple) maxed out 36mb of ram!

Posted by: macgeek417 on 2009-08-09 23:08:04

Check that page for identifying your RAM module.

Posted by: macgeek417 on 2009-08-10 09:15:46
Nope. all that page told me was that i had Micron technoligy RAM.

Posted by: macgeek417 on 2009-08-10 09:43:12

EDIT: My ram SIMM has 16 Micron Technology Inc. Dram 5volt CMOS 4Megx4 2K refresh Fast Page Type Behuizing 60ns chips!

About the OS, if you're going to use the newest OS it can run, get a copy of 8.1. No, wait, NetBSD 😉 . You would be SERIOUSLY wasting your time with 7.6, 7.5.5/7.1 is the way to go. I don't believe you mentioned whether you were going to try getting it on the internet, either.
|
Posted by: JRL on 2009-08-12 11:05:27
Yeah, 7.6 isn't THAT different from 7.5.5.
|
Posted by: macgeek417 on 2009-08-12 19:52:35
Um... the LC III cant run OS 8... can it?

Posted by: porter on 2009-08-12 19:56:08
No, wait, NetBSD 😉 FPU!!!
