This is a narrowly focused instructable that should apply to any classic Macintosh with a SCSI hard disk and that can run system 7.0 but I have no way to test it so run wild with itĪlso you can use this information to take a hard disk out of a failed computer and retrieve information off of that disk (as long as the hard disk is still ok) In the following instructable I will show you how to do it using a apple formatted and apple firmware installed hard disk, a pc running ubuntu, a pc SCSI card, and a emulator so you can transfer the hard drive to a Macintosh SE and have it boot With no other working Mac's in the house how do I get this thing to boot? So here is the scenario, I have an idea for a project, that project needs a classic Macintosh computer, so I picked a couple 68k compact macs from the local recyclers for a dollar each (ones really dead, atm) the one that functions is a Macintosh SE, with a dead hard disk and a funky 800k floppy disk
