If you are brave enough to crack the Mac, don't even look at the gun area on the back of the CRT wrong or it will break. &nbsp;In fact I probably shoudln't have mentioned it in case your computer gets any funny ideas. &nbsp;Seriously though this part is more fragile than Middle East peace talks.<br />

How do I reformat a mac classic that gives me a sad mac with the letters SSSSSSF/SSSSSS2 commands under the sad mac. I had tried to put sys 7.5.1 on, and it took it origanally, then I decided to reinstall, and it wouldn't reformat, not accept any disk tools disk. I tried the Zip disk with 7.5.5 onit, the floppy, and nothing. Zap pram, no go, restart with extensions off, nada, and all of my bags of tricks. I guess that something is in the HD, so I think that I will have to take it apart and check the connections. <br />
<br />
I upped the memory to 4 mb, for the slot had 2 openings, changed the jumpers to &quot;simms in&quot; (had a shop do it, no tool to open that toaster). it worked fine, but I wanted more, but no I just want to get it back, install 7.1 on it, and be done, what do I do?

All of Apple's hardware is produced solely by Apple Inc., who determines internal systems, designs, and prices. Apple buys certain components wholesale from third-party manufacturers. The current Mac product family uses Intel x86-64 processors. All Mac models ship with at least 1 GB RAM as standard. Current Mac computers use ATI Radeon or nVidia GeForce graphics cards and include a dual-function DVD and CD burner, called the SuperDrive. Current Apple hardware includes the iPad, iPhone, iMac, Mac Pro, Macbook, iPod and Apple TV. Discontinued hardware includes the Apple I, Apple II, and the Apple III, the Lisa, the Newton, the Quadra, Performa, Centris, Macintosh II and LC series, the Power Macintosh, iBooks and the MacBook.

Apple Hardware

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.

Apple OS

Apple devices including Macs, iPhones, iPods and iPad support standard wired and wireless networking technologies, but they also utilize custom applications and some special techniques for networking with each other and with non-Apple devices. Apple manufacturers the AirPort line of wireless networking products, and has its own networking protocols, AppleTalk and AFP (Apple Filing Protocol).
