Hello Folks!
I just registered (had lurked for a bit awhile back) Anyhow - I really want to get a Centris 610 up and running. Given to me from a friend that got them from a school. Anyhow its PW protected and need system disks for a fresh install. Any help would be a ton of help. It has 140mb HD, and 48mb of Ram.
I also have an LCIII in the same boat.
I'm located in Upstate NY (Syracuse). I currently own a Lombard PB, G4 Mac Mini, and really miss my Mac Plus.
Thanks!
Debaser

welcome
you can get a full system 7.5.5 disc set free from apple
might be over kill but might be worth the hassle

Thanks!
Quick question - I assume that the 610 has a high density disk drive/not a DD - correct??? The machine is currently in the attic and LEM didnt specify... Just so I know before I create disk images.
Moderators: Sorry - I guess I should move further questions to the prop. sub-forum.

Yes, it should have a "SuperDrive" (Apple-speak for a 1.44 MB floppy drive in those days, the same name now used to mean a DVD writer), as will the LC. It was only a few of the early Compact Macs that had 800k or 400k drives. The Centris 610 can actually run OS 8.1, and 48 MB of Ram is more than enough for running the much more modern OS, so it may be worthwhile to have a look for a copy of 8.1.

well system 7.5 is free so i think its best to first get that and get the centris up and running before thinking of branching out to 8.1
you might no t like the performance of 8 under the centris
if you do how ever want to use os 8 look for a disc of os 8 you can download the 8.1 update stil from apple
