Does Blaise Pascal's box count?

Hi there....
Recently, I just got an old Mac IIci, which has 40M HDD & 8M RAM. After
all, I added the RAM to 32M, and also want to change the stupid 40M SCSI
HDD to a larger one.... But the problem is, I just can't find a diskette
version of Mac OS 7.5.x for it... What can I do...??
If anyone has the old Mac OS, would you all pls make a copy for me?? I will
pay the shipping and diskette cost..... (Coz, I don't think if I can get a
new copy from APPLE.. :( )
Yours,
Ken Yaksa
If you can't find one, check with Sun Remarketing in Smithfield Utah. They will sell all the way back to version 3.2 on 400 k disks.

Tony was reffering to adhesive tapes not mag tape.

It would be nifty to have a web page with a list of Computer
Rescue Squad volunteers paired with their geographical coordinates,
with even perhaps a link to any one of the map-servers out there.

And if you know of a robotron in the SF bay area available for cheap,
4-6hours of sleep per night is way too much anyway... 8^)

If you decide to get rid of an IPC...
P.S., I still need to get your Multispeed manuals in the mail to you...

An anecodote:
Today, two teachers from my school went to Micro Center to get some
stuff fixed, and took me with them. This was the first time I have
ever been in a tech service room. There was one tech, a woman in her
40's, multitasking. She was only able to fix our printer, which
wouldn't formfeed due to a gob of glue. She "solved" the other two
problems with updates from Apple's site. Anyway, while she was busy
with us, a guy walked in with a Mac Plus mouse. She told him that the
only thing that could be done is to order a new one, if they're still
in stock. One the bright side, she didn't sell him a DB-9 Intellimouse
but I think the only reason a mouse should be replace is if the case
is smashed or it just sucks (Zenix?). How do you expect classics to
survive in active use if they're thrown away without an attemp at
fixing them? By the way, what's the difference between DB and DE
connectors?

No, the relative position is the same as the index hole occurs and you
start formatting there. What that means is sector 1 is displaced about
1/3 of a turn from the "normal" unflipped position.
