Two RAM sticks joined 2 other RAM sticks in my Centris 650 to boost its memory to 50 MB. The hard drive went to one of my Mac IIsi’s. The good news was that most of its internal parts were donated to other Macs. Nevertheless the thing died one day and after stripping it of most of its usable parts I ended up discarding the old Mac at a computer recycling place. In late 2002 something wrong happened to the Quadra, a problem that I can’t recall exactly what it was. Ports: SCSI, modem, printer, sound out and in ports I did not use this computer for very long as I was already in Power PC land using my Powercenter Mac clone.Ĭonfiguration of my old Macintosh Quadra 610. Other things I did with the Quadra when it was not serving files, was to use it to open older files made with Pagemaker 3.x and 4.2, as well as do some word processing and rudimentary surfing on the internet using Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape. The Quadra 610 served as my primary backup computer and file server to my PowerCenter clone and Macintosh IIsi for about 2 years.ĭuring the course of ownership, I tried to run Linux for 68K Macs on this computer but could not get the thing to launch beyond showing a text based window. The Quadra I got came with a 240MB internal hard drive, 36 megs of RAM, 1.44 floppy drive and System 7.6.1 bundled on the hard disc.

It was later renamed the Quadra 610 and shipped with a standard 68040 processor running at 25mhz. This was a computer that Apple first introduced as the Centris 610 in 1993. Just select the 'Buy A Disk' page from the top menu bar and pick out what you need.I bought a used Apple Macintosh Quadra 610 computer for $80 in the year 2000.

I provide a service that takes software that is classified as 'abandonware' that is easily and readily available for download from the Internet and I write it to a floppy disk for you. Not to mention the additional hardware required to write to 5.25' floppies! You’ll find that downloading old disk images from the Internet and getting them onto vintage 3.5' and 5.25' floppies is no easy task! You can not read a 1.44 Meg floppy disk on most classic Macs, and a modern computer can not read or write to an old 800K floppy disk. The problem is, classic Macs like the Macintosh Plus have an 800K floppy drive. However, most people are unable to make a boot disk because they can't bridge the gap between their classic Apple and their modern computer.Ĭlassic Mac Operating Systems such as System 6 and 7 are obsolete but have been made available for free via a download from Apple.

Maybe you scored an Apple II on eBay and it never came with a boot disk? Whatever the case, most people who come into possession of a vintage Apple want to see it live again.
