mac tool

You need a T-10 Torx wrench with a long handle. I found one at Sears. As for cracking it open, I'm using a welding clamp (don't laugh), I put the tip into the crack and then open the clamp up, cracks them right open (once all the screws have been removed). Let me get this right, you want to put an internal HD in a Mac Plus?!?! Somehow I really don't think that's possible. They're ment to use an external drive. But of course, they'll run up to about 7.5.3 I think, don't remember the exact point support was dropped for the 68000 processor, might have been as late as 7.6. Be aware you don't really want to run any higher than 7.1 because of the RAM requirements. In fact my SE/30 has 17Mb of RAM, but is only running System 7.1 to keep it from being to bloated. With the proper software either the Mac Plus or Mac SE will blow away any modern Windows 95 machine for ease of use and speed! Although it won't run much in the way of Internet software, it will run some of the older stuff. Zane | Zane H.
