I am trying to get my old 512k running. I put in a boot disk but can’t do anything after that. I just don’t remember what to do. I have a Mac hard disk 20 hooked up but it does not recognize it. I’m guessing I am missing something simple. Thanks for looking.
Good afternoon Brewdog612,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
For help setting up an older Mac, we recommend you reach out to an Apple Authorized Service Provider near you. Here's how to find one:

Take care.

Interesting. I went to them and they told me to contact this community. They do not support anything this old. Basically I need to find an old duffer or differess that is into this. Thanks for taking the time to answer however.

So many things on the Internet are!
Those are just two things I turned up when I searched "macintosh 512 manual". I'm sure that you could find lots more, possibly even a nice, friendly forum, dedicated to vintage Macs with a little creative searching.
Best of luck.
This looks great. Kind of a rabbit hole. I’ll let you know if the answer is there after reading some of the documents. Short look seems to be good. Thanks a ton!
