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…

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…
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…
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.
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…

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…
And the MacBench results are in:
Internal CF drive is nearly twice as fast as CF in PCMCIA adapter (cardbus enabled);
Internal CF drive is overall marginally slower than conventi…

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 …

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.

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…
Code:
--limit-bandwidth=10k
On OS X it's "--limit-rate"
Is there any sort of Members-only area here? I may be able to mirror the Mac Hut pages on a small scale from my server.…
Hi ladies!
Turns out you have to pay DynDNS.org to use subdomains these days. Wich is why the mirror can't be accessed any more:

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…

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.

That is a great find. Nice to know. I tri…
