Building the Ultimate Classic Mac.

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

Liam, thank you so much for this  information!
I did not know about  all the HACKINTOSH  action out there!

Good to hear that one system will use SATA drive > I will just have  to  
find  some old installable  OS   for it.
The  family of the deceased engineer that passed these on to us  at  the 
SMECC  Museum project   tossed most any  paperwork or media , so  we have  
what is   installed  on the system  and of  course  for the diskless one we are 
 empty handed.
 
We we were out  scrounging now I wish  I had  picked up  more  vintage  MAC 
  paperwork and  discs   now.
We  saved stuff related to the   early MAC and of course  ANYTHING we could 
 find  for the APPLE II.
 
We do also have  something that looks  like an APPLE LISA but not  the 
twiggi (sp?) drive model  I have heard reference to. it turned on  last  time I  
tried but just a bunch of  diddle  crap all  over the screen. (bogus 
contents of memory mapped  video or!??  <this  machine is a mystery to me  I saw 
it  when it came out  but that is abut the only experience I have had  with 
LISA  remember I  was a HP  guy in the business days... I do remember  going 
over to a  store in Metrocenter in AZ  and seeing one  for the first  time  
with a MOUSE on it! I was amazed...  
 
Again... thanks  for the  hints and help now and in the  future.

There are ways around  it.

Takes any old SATA drive, as  far as I recall. No special firmware needed.

Will run up to OS X 10.5,  nothing later.
