Stolen from Apple! The second web site contains the instructions to access the “Stolen from Apple!” icon on the Macintosh SE.

Can you bootstrap the original Macintosh from bare metal? Nope, it can’t be done. Early generation Macintoshes must have boot disks to be functional. If they do not have a boot disk, they will fail to boot. You need at least a Macintosh Classic to be able to boot from ROM.
NOTE! The Amiga. Similar to a Macintosh, relied on a boot disk, but in a more explicit way. The Amiga didn’t have any ROM code at all, instead relying on loading the code from disk to function.
Interesting, though not useful link. All it contains is a comment referencing the Macintosh. It doesn’t contain any actually useful information on the Macintosh, just on the Raspberry Pi.

How to use the interenal Macintosh debugger? It goes by the name MicroBug. MacsBug is a related but much more powerful alternative.

This is the link to the actual documentation on MicroBug. This link is not working for me at this time! No problem, I was able to successfully get the information from the Wayback Machine. I’ve saved the document locally just for safe keeping. JJJ TODO Sort everything out!

Sad Mac error codes? What is this error code that I get when I press the programmer key during bootup? This is just an indication that a non-maskable interrupt was received, which is considered normal functioning. Bummer, I was really hoping I could get to the ROM debugger as a ways to bootstrap a Macintosh from bare metal.

Hey, the Wikipedia website must have been updated. It contains much of the information that I thought was available only on other websites until recently.

So, what are those strange extra connectors on the back of my Macintosh SE? They are ports on an expansion card in the PDS slot. Note the photograph of the back and the caption in the link above. They note that that cover on the left of the back panel (where ours has the extra ports) covers up the expansion slot. Ah, now I have something to search for. PDS slot expansion cards for the Macintosh SE. Once I find one that has a coaxial port and DE-9 port on the back of it, I’ll know what that thing is. Either that, or I have to open up the Macintosh SE to find out.

Nope, no matches so far, but the last link was an interesting diagram.
More information? No, not quite enough for me.

JJJ TODO Sort this out!
- NOTE: Sometimes, a list of links need not be sorted out. Sometimes, all that needs be said is that this is a list of useful links to additional information, some more useful than others. Well, I guess that’s enough to warrent sorting it out in some sort of way. Anyways, sometimes you just have a whole bunch of miscellaneous information that is all at the same rank. When such is the case, there really is no practical way to sort the information out.
