OF00064 Sad Mac On Macintosh M0001

2016-02-06 03:40:07 UTC

According to Larry Pina's "Dead Mac Scrolls", boot error 0F0064 is an
incompatibility between the computer and the system software. You're right
that a 128k *should* be able to boot both of those just fine. Is it
possible that the disks you have are formatted as 800k and not 400k? Pina
suggests that might be one possible cause. (The 128k can only read the
earlier 400k format.)

Hello!
I recently bought a M0001 Macintosh off craigslist with no boot disk, so I
bought one online from a site that makes them on demand. Trying either
system 1.1 or 3.2 brings me to a Sad Mac screen with the code OF00064 under
it, after showing the regular mac for a second or two, Ive looked online
everywhere I can find the error code referenced and found the error is most
likely software related but the Disk came from a good source, I'm not sure
what to do from here, is it possible that there could be a hardware problem?
Also, I'm not sure if it was upgraded to 512k but the instruction manual
has "512k" written on it. and the disk drive has a red light inside, from
what I read that means its a 400K disk drive.
I also do NOT have a HD20 or External Disk Drive.

This person on ebay stated they had the same error on the internal drive
but the disk worked on their external drive.
If anyone has any help I would respect it!
