Hi all,
Recently got hold of a mac classic, in all its beauty. The problem is when i switch it on I get the checked screen shown below. Taken a photo of it.
How do I fix this? Are there some old hardcore sharkies who have troubleshooted mac classics before?

Thanks all.
Maybe you have to put in an os boot disk in it?
Maybe, im trying to find a compatible OS to download that will be loaded by 3.5" floppy's though.
Any suggestions?
I don't know much about Macs,perhaps an early version of Mac OS on floppy.Look in Apple website,maybe they have chat.
Will any downloads on this page help????

You are going to need a 6.0 something OS for you MAC Classic I believe.
Il give those a try. Are mac classics x6?
Also, since they're bin files, do I need to convert them, or just drag them straight on to a floppy and let them boot?
BTW: Should I see a bios or post before those checked squares? It comes up with that display instantly. Im hoping the floppy will still be the first boot device.
To tell you the truth,I don't have the faintest idea.
Take a 3.5 floppy and fully format it.
Download the .bin file and unstuff it.
Use a program such as Disk Copy to put it on a disk.
Then boot up the computer and pop in the disk.
Hello,
I have the same problem.
Have you solved your problem ?
My Mac Classic don't boot on floopy disk, no song, different combinations of keys not work ...
Thanks
No im afraid I couldnt solve it at the time. I may try again, or I may just gut it and put a modern pc in its shell.
