Mac Classic has died
Kintaro:
My mac classic, has been used a lot lately and today I switch the power on and it starts beeps... then gives me an error:
0000000F
00000063
What does this mean...
BTW, Power went out last time and I went to bed!
the_black_angel:
How far in to boot-up does it get?
They look like memory addresses
maybe(big maybe) The power outage currupted some system file it needs during startup - or surged just before the power outage and currupted the ROM somehow???
psyjax:
No, I know what that error is. Now adays you would get a blinking system folder icon, basically somehow or other the system file was corupted. Your gonna have to re-install, it wont corrupt any of your data, so don't worry.
Also, you may want to get a disk version of 7.1 which I think is the earliest MacOS that can run on a Classic.
ravuya:
I feel for your loss.
If what psyjax suggests doesn't work, make sure there isn't a disk (or disk fragments) stuck in the drive. I had an old 400k floppy which would sad-Mac my LC if I left it in on startup. That's the only Sad Mac I've ever experienced (woot)
Kintaro:
I have a backup "system" file that I will use. I've done simlar things on floppy disks (i tried to make it say "Welcome to X11s Mac" with a hex editor, instead of "Welcome to Macintosh"!
Anyway I will fix it...
Does anyone have some good software that they could give me on disk images?
(X11's doing stuff)
Okay its wiped the "System Folder" i rebooted and when it complained about no disk i fed it my "Install 1" disk, does anyone have the NEWEST system software (I have 7.01 or somthing)
Anyone have 7.5?
