- A couple days ago a friend of mine was given an old mac 512k.
- However the machine came without any system software, so he asked
- me for help. What is the latest system that will run on this
- model mac? We found an old system 4.2, chopped it down so it
- would fit on a single-side disk and tried it (it successfully booted
- a mac plus), but he got an error 12 just before it finished booting.
- Does anybody know what this error is. Does anybody have an old system
- that will work on his mac?
-
- Is it possible for his mac to use a double-sided drive?
- He said he saw where he could get a mac plus logic board for $150,
- maybe this would be the best way for him to go. But a cheaper
- solution would be better (after all $150 could be spent a lot of
- other ways). Any help would be appreciated.
