The Mac Wall is going to be packed up for a move to a smaller space. I just wanted to get a snapshot of it before it comes down.

Macintosh Plus
The back of this old Mac says “Macintosh Plus 1Mb.” The system profiler shows that there are 4mb installed. It is still quite a capable machine despite not having a hard drive.
I am diligently searching for the education market version entitled the “Macintosh ED.”
Macintosh Performa 200
The latest addition to the Macintosh Preservation is a Performa 200. The hardware is identical to the Classic II, only the branding is different.
Macintosh SE/30
The most fragile of the toaster Macs in the Macintosh Preservation. The capacitors on the logic board of the Macintosh SE/30 need to be replaced. I would like to get it renovated. It is a powerhorse that outperforms the other toaster Macs.

Retro Challenge 2009 is in full swing and I totally forgot to mention anything! I am participating by creating a blog with photos from my favorite 0.02 megapixel camera, the Game Boy Camera! Check out the retro goodness already in progress.
Obfuscation Rules
It took days of failed attempts, but I’m now reliving my childhood. I figured out how to write Apple II disk images to those big 5.25 floppies. Sure there are emulators out there. Sure it is a whole lot easier to just download the disk image and play on a new iMac. It just isn’t the same. There is something truly satisfying about hearing those big drives click away. Here is what it took.
- Mac OS 10.5 on an Intel iMac to download the disk images and drop them in a shared folder to go to…
- Mac OS 10.4.9 on a PPC iMac that has support for…
- Mac OS 9.2.2 which can run Bernie II the Rescue, an Apple IIgs emulator that can manipulate the files, which can then be transfered via 3.5 floppy to…
- Mac OS 7.0.1 on a Macintosh Classic which can write to ProDOS disks, which are compatible with…
- Apple GSOS 6.0.1 which runs on an Apple IIgs.
What is the end product for all this hassle? Number Munchers, Odell Lake, Battleship, and Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy are just the beginning. Oregon Trail… I’ve got my eyes on you next.
