My drive appears to be a >400/800k capacity, and won't read a 720k pc disk. I think this is a 1.4mb, but I really don't know. I was able to format a 1.44mb IBM in it. > >It's funny running that old Classic. The 9" b/w monitor looks so small, it's >like peering into a nickelodeon.

Let me know if you continue to have trouble >finding what you need. Wow! You have a treasure trove. Would you know of a source of how to upgrade the Mac to system 7.x (does apple still do that?)? I think it has 6.0.x...or something. That way I could maybe run MacChess. Perhaps the creators of MacChess would mail it on diskette to me. What is a fat mac? I know what a Lisa is. That was is REAL old. Do you have any old UNIX boxes? Those are my most favorite 'puter antiques. > >Will Thanks Will!
