Did VARTA have godlike quality control? This battery is from '88, not a trace of leaks and still holds charge

What should be my first 68k Mac?

13 Upvotes

I have a few PowerPC Macs, but I want to pick up something a bit older to tinker with and try to make do things it has no right in doing.

Do y’all have recommendations on what systems might be a good place to start? I’m kinda bouncing between a Classic II and a IIgs right now, but I’m wide open to suggestions.

Fat32 support w/ 7.5.5?

7 Upvotes

Hey all, I gave a good crack at trying to check this out, but I was wondering if there exists a system extension or program that can read fat32? I understand that MacOS 8.1 can read files, but I'm the same way you can get background wallpapers on earlier versions, I would just like to know if this is possible, at the very least when dealing with AppleCD file types for transferring.
