![]() You would have to do all that work for a system that only supports OS 7.1 to 8.1.Īlternatively, you could get a Power Mac 9600 and put 7.6.1 on it, and the software will feel exactly the same. You will have to find an ADB keyboard and DB-15 monitor. In order to run software on it, you will have to burn CDs and then feed them to the machine. It has no USB, but does have 1.44" floppy and a 2x CD-Rom drive. It has no ethernet nor modem connections by default. They are talking about compatibility.Ī Performa 630 for example has SCSI, ADB, and Serial ports. They aren't really talking about vibe of the machine. Obviously this varies from place to place, but the SE was a pretty popular machine, making them pretty common. You can get modern SD to SCSI adapters though.Īnother plus, (at least where I live in Florida) you can typically find an SE locally either on Craigslist or the Facebook marketplace. ![]() I think the only problem you will likely run into, is a dead hard drive as the Quantum drives used, drop like flies. ![]() It’s never given me a problem, and it’s in the sweet spot for usability (especially as a starter machine). I own a 128k, 512k, Plus, SE, and Mac Classic, and out of all of them, my SE FDHD is my most reliable machine. The SE is fairly unlikely to have problems with leaky caps, and is honestly an incredibly reliable compact Mac. The FDHD (compared to the regular SE), uses the more modern 1.44mb High Density disks, which you can write from a modern computer, making it easy to get software for it. I would highly recommend the Macintosh SE FDHD.
