[Micronet] access to very old Mac

[J Crothers]

I'm looking for access to a very old Mac, on or near the UCB campus, running sys 6.x or 7.x on which I can run a very old version of Stella modeling software (1984 version for the original Macintosh) to recover an old physiological simulation model prepared nearly 20 years ago in our lab at UCB.  If I can locate a really old Mac, I can bring an 800k floppy with both the program (just 200k!) and the file (28k).  I'd need only a few minutes to save a text file of the model's equations list and save a screen image of the flow chart (if the system is 6.x, I can snap a picture of the screen with my camera phone).  Thanks in advance for anyone's help.

If you cannot find one, an emulator might work provided you have the
program somewhere else other than on a floppy.

1400c PowerBook running 8.5 in the closet over here.

PowerBook 180 as well...but no power supply. :(

Keep us posted!

There's a Power Mac 4400/200 under my desk at home. Probably System 8
(it's been a while). Floppy and Zip 100, I think.

Part of a stagnating project to recover old drafts of my mother-in-law's
book.

I can see if it powers up this weekend if you like.
