toptenmaterial Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I just picked up an LC II from my work. The drive has been wiped though, although the OS is still there. Since this was the computer that I used the most in junior high, I'm looking for some of that iconic software- SimCity, SimAnt, screen savers with flying toasters, Oregon Trail, the word processor that speaks the swears that you type, etc. I also need a mouse. I am a bit light on cash, but I can trade a LOT of INTV and 2600 commons, maybe some other stuff too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toptenmaterial Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 Osgeld, thanks for coming through again man. Would you be able to put these on a 3.5 for me? Work something out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osgeld Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 do you have another computer with a serial port? what I often do is download on my old beater laptop and use a terminal program on my SE (since its 800k floppy is useless even if it did work) to download from the laptop also running a terminal program (like downloading something from a BBS back in the day) Also I bet if you slapped a USB floppy drive on that iMac you could make your own floppies since the LCII has a 1.44 mb pc compatible super disk course none of this does any good without a mouse ... I would give you one but I only have 1 ADB mouse and 3 ADB mac's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toptenmaterial Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 I see. Thanks. My old netbook doesn't have a serial port... but I bet my roommate has one on his desktop, if modern desktops have one. Can I make the discs directly from PC? I ask because you mentioned the iMac, and I wasn't sure if I needed that as some sort of intermediary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osgeld Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) what you will get is disk images in apple format, probably packed with stuffit (the worst compression program evea) so you take that, get it into your mac somehow and then it will eventually end up as a folder on your hard disk, or extracted to a floppy in mac format on your mac the trick is getting from point A to Mac Edited June 5, 2013 by Osgeld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
