Probably the easiest way would be buying the floppy emu [1] - it allows to run the computer from an SD card. A bit pricey, though ($139).
If booting from a floppy would be enough then Rescue My Classic Mac is a way to go.

- marssaxman 10y agoThat's perfect! Thanks for the link. I'm surprised that it's possible to emulate a hard drive through the floppy port - I never heard of such a product back then. I'd have assumed it would have to be done through the SCSI port. But that's part of the fun of it, getting to look at those old machines again now that we have the Internet.
- t0mek 10y agoThe HD20 [1] emulated here uses some Apple-specific protocol, so it can be connected to the DB19. The SCSI port can also be be used, to connect some old hard external SCSI drive or a modern solution like SCSI2SD. The floppy-emu is easier to setup, though.
