Help with Mac Classic

68000 processor 1 to 2 megs of RAM You can add up to 4 megs of RAM assuming you have the extra RAM expansion card if not you have 1 until you locate the card to plug more SIMMs in. There are a few accellerators (such as the MicroMac) but they are not all that much faster when you get down to serious work. No expansion, no color... :/ It will get you crawling on the internet with B/W Mac Web and Eudora though. You can get printers (apple ImageWriter, Stylewriter or Stylewriter II, anything later wouldn't work or a Parallel printer using a PowerPrint interface), external modems, extra drives, some decent educational programs, decent applications (I recommend Claris Works 2 or 3) etc. for it, there is still some usefullness in it. Barely, assuming you can activate the mousekeys (if the extension is in your system) by pressing SHIFT-COMMAND-[KEYPAD]CLEAR, then you have the keypad numbers to move the pointer and the 5 as a mouse button. I would really recommend a mouse, thrift stores or used computer shops are a good try at first, if not you can find used mice available somewhat reasonably on the internet like in news:misc.forsale.computers.mac-specific.misc You can download it from the Apple site (www.apple.com) up to system 7... You would be best to get 7.1 (no higher, it will bog down your 68000/4meg unit too much) also available from resellers. System 7 is the minimum for somewhat decent (read painless) internet access. A Classic II is a much more capable machine... :/ Lemme know if you have any more, I still deal with them from time to time at work (I don't think too much longer though I think most of our organization will be color Macs and 'those other computers' soon...
