They are 68K Macs.

They didn't go anywhere at all.  As soon as you tried to boot them they
went looking for a boot floppy.  But, I knew thery were all bootable as
I coould look at them on one working machine I made by doing a brand new
install of System 7.1 to see what was on the disk.

Doing an install of 7.1 on the existing disks fixed three of the four
machines.  Only problem is that one of them hac TCP on it and that
seems to have disappeared during the upgrade. :-(

So. I have all the system software I need, available from apple, but
no way to get any of it onto media that can be read 9and understood)
by a Mac.

But I am further than I was this morning.  :-)

Anybody got MIDI cables and software for a 68K Mac?  :-)
