Macintosh Classic Easter Eggs

Michael Fincham writes:: DOURO, I hate to say it but you are wrong. The Macintosh Classic was code named the Macintosh XO during development, and was designed as a "diskless" workstation. The startup disk held in ROM has a special combination of system software designed specifically for the Macintosh Classic, and it contains just the components required to connect to an AppleTalk network. Its also very useful if the HDD on your Mac in toast and you need to run repair software. Another tip: If you start up from the disk, on a Mac without an HDD, then go to the apple menu -> then to control panel -> then to Startup Disk, you can set the ROM disk as startup disk and have it start up from ROM without having to hold down Apple+Option+X+O while it starts up. This doesnt have a lot of use on a Classic with a hard disk though :); 5 of 6 people found this comment helpful. Did you?

DOURO writes:: You may have reached the built-in Diagnostic Disk. This is programmed into an extra 128K of ROM memory, and is used to carry diagnostic programs used during burn-in testing and diagnosis. I have a Mac SE that this *may* work on, but I have not tried this yet.; 0 of 3 people found this comment helpful. Did you?
