#Mac os system 7 emulator how to

One Macintosh computer with a SCSIВ interface (target) capable of running system 7

One working HFS or HFS+ formatted SCSIВ hard disk with apple firmware This instructable also gets sorta complicated, it requires specific things and software, but it is much better than the alternative in this case, which is 800k floppy disk drive (dont have another mac) apple firmware SCSI cd rom (dont have), or have 'someone' snail mail me a floppy disk (bah!) This is a narrowly focused instructable that should apply to any classic Macintosh with a SCSIВ hard disk and that can run system 7.0 but I have no way to test it so run wild with itДЄlso you can use this information to take a hard disk out of a failed computer and retrieve information off of that disk (as long as the hard disk is still ok)

#Mac os system 7 emulator how to

In the following instructable I will show you how to do it using a apple formatted and apple firmware installed hard disk, a pc running ubuntu, a pc SCSI card, and a emulator so you can transfer the hard drive to a Macintosh SEВ and have it boot

With no other working Mac's in the house how do IВ get this thing to boot? So here is the scenario, I have an idea for a project, that project needs a classic Macintosh computer, so I picked a couple 68k compact macs from the local recyclers for a dollar each (ones really dead, atm) the one that functions is a Macintosh SE, with a dead hard disk and a funky 800k floppy disk
