Here's my question to throw into the ring:
I have a LOT of Macintosh superdrives from early NuBus PPC Macs that I've salvaged.
Is there a good spec for the interface and has anybody gotten anything but a Mac to talk
to those drives? If anybody needs a superdrive or two for the cost of shipping just
holler, btw.
Now here's
a tricky question: If the SE30 were the only mac
in my entire household, how would I procure an OS install on
diskette for it? The drive in that thing is the 800K
multi-speed beast, yes?
Do you have a PC? Apple does (or did) offer the OS's on their website,
and there were instructions about how to use various PC based programs
to write them in a Mac 800K format from a PC drive.
Somewhere I have the images and software because I've had to do this
once.
