ALERT: eBay Auction, Hyperdrive 512k in Disguise! — #33

I suppose this is useless trivia, but according to the platter/head/cylinder layout (2/4/306) that MMI drive in your Hyperdrive is from a logical standpoint literally a shrunken cl…

ALERT: eBay Auction, Hyperdrive 512k in Disguise! — #32

Thanks for posting those pictures. Now there IS documentation of an MMI mechanism available. I guess I should post pictures of my old disk drives for reference too. That big list c…

ALERT: eBay Auction, Hyperdrive 512k in Disguise! — #31

An individual who used to be a GCC HyperDrive dealer in the 80's contacted me recently and we've had a long discussion about our respective units. He inspired me to take shoot add…

Yet another 2400c problem — #13

I bought a nice 133x Kingston CF card for my WS. 133x is faster than most of the pre-G4 portables can do. It usually maxes the bus on my WS, plus was only $30 something for a 16GB.

Yet another 2400c problem — #12

Well, my solid-state drive is just a bog-standard $20 CF card, so I would not expect to see such blinding results at this end. Still, some of the test results on random reads in pa…

Yet another 2400c problem — #11

Keep in mind that they test sequential. The issue with hard drives over solid state is the latency as it moves from one physical area, having to reposition the head, then wait for…

Yet another 2400c problem — #10

Yet another 2400c problem — #9

I returned for most of the day to the subject of this thread, and thought I might resurrect the thread itself, having had another go at replacing the hard drive in my 2400c with a …

DVD in a Quadra? — #14

By the way... will the Apple CD/DVD Driver from 8.1 support a non-Apple SCSI DVD-ROM drive? For instance, Toshiba M1401, which seems to be easily found and rather unexpensive.

Mac Hut is back — #49

Members only? No such thing at MacHut . MacHut is sleeping (unfriendly voices say dead) since 2009. Get a few files, make a mirror for personal use or to share with the commun…

IIfx Won't boot — #87

Well that didn't work out either. SCSI filter on the 7500's hard disk didn't change anything. Filter and terminator (and no internal drive) also didn't boot. I added an external h…

IIfx Won't boot — #86

As to your problem, I'm still inclined to believe SCSI problem, but I would expect you to get to the flashing question mark with no cable plugged in. It's conceivable that it need…

As for the jumpers (partially documented here), J106 is open, J103 is closed. This seems to be the correct setup. Click to expand... That is a great find. Nice to know. I tri…
