Hello all! It’s time to swap out my spinning rust for solid state. I’ve made a win 98 boot floppy and have found a 70ct recovery disc on internet archive. When downloading it, my computer flags it as a virus which I believe is wrong. You can find it here:

Will the download just be an iso that I can drag to my cf card which will go in place of my hdd, boot from the floppy, and install OEM win 95? Or are there more steps?

Also, I’ve tried booting freedos from this industrial cf card, but the libretto doesn’t see it. Can we confirm that this cf card is a fixed disk card, and therefore bootable?

Thanks!!

The needle is still completely intact (edit: this is wrong, the needle is fried). I wonder if the tonearm has been bent, but I feel like if that happened, the tracking force wouldn’t change since the mass didn’t either. What are your thoughts?

The analog board in the top and right have been in my 1986 Mac plus (SN: f6341x6m0001a) and subsequently failed. I have a third in much better shape, but is a few mm from having the lid shut. The two ground screws clock with the chassis just right, but the back cover is a few mm off from shutting. Are there incompatible revisions of the compact Mac analog board? The board I’m trying to fit is a revision H. I understand that I can recap, but I’m waiting to see if this one works. Thanks for the help!

HDD access light is on then off, but no beep, no num lock light response, no ram count. EXCEPT for two occasions when I got a beep, num lock response, but I did not have the display connected.

Also, I would appreciate input on how to repair gas plasma lines like the one pictured.

Any thoughts?

This libretto is tricked out with 32 megs of ram, hdmi, and 802.11 WiFi. I even have the full size dock. So much fun!
