I can confirm with all my certainty that those answers are either surely correct or incorrect.

I have to send my tax forms in. I'm going to have a nice refund coming for some conquests. There's quite a few things that have been on my list for a while like a type 4 keyboard a…

Those are two wildly disparate answers... Can anyone else confirm either of the above posts is correct?

5 - 10 years.

The ARS-2000SUP has different firmware than the ARS-2000SU. I had a problem where my ARS-2000SU units would not auto boot on m68k Macs or on Amigas when they had the ARS-2000SUP fi…

Hm. I spoke too soon. I can't seem to get the SSD to auto mount or to be the boot disk. Any thoughts? Partitioning worked fine with Apple SC HD Setup (patched), and I could cop…

If you are just storing the machine, remove the battery. Batteries in machines that are used a decent amount (are plugged into main power) should last 4+ years.

First off, Correction: Lido 7.5.6, not 7.6.5. Darned math dyslexia... :I Second, Unfortunately, I haven't found anyone online that actually links a disk image floppy with the…

How would I figure out where a possible short is? Running a wire directly to the disk might solve the problem, but that's still a hack and not a fix (remember the HD wasn't spinn…

Thanks for the tips on this thread. I installed a 40GB Kingston SSD using the ACARD ARS-2000SUP. I had a hell of a time getting it to format in my SE/30, but based on this info f…

Does anyone know how long a replacement PRAM battery that is a decent brand (SAFT) will last in a Mac Classic II that is in storage? The PRAM battery in a Mac Classic II I bought …

Yes, it's *that* Kurzweil. But he sold the company off almost as soon as it started. Dr. K made a big splash in the 1970s with his products for vision-impaired people. I think it w…

The easiest and fastest solution is to run a wire directly from the yellow wire on the power supply to the yellow wire of the hard drive power connector. This would effectively br…

in the description of my new HDD is written: The Atlas 10K wide disk drive is manufactured as an Ultra2 Multi-Mode LVD device only. This drive does not provide for onboard SCSI bu…

I believe you should have no problems using the 68-pin to 50-pin adapter, provided that the SCSI ID on the drive and adapter are set to 0 and SCSI termination is enabled. If you h…

Mactracker is basically an eyeball level program that provides hardware and software specs of your Apple-branded product(s). It is good only to know what you have and what is unde…

I download Mactracker but I cannot find the information necessary to me. Will work the HDD through the 68pin to 50pin adapter?

The trace on the top of the board on the left side that goes from the capacitor(?) at C45 to the spot below the second Nubus slot labeled FD15 (between zones N2 and K2) is complete…

Never saw one before. Very cool though and much more interesting than the AAUI to RJ45 adapters I've got.

I never knew that these existed, but sure enough, one came plugged into the LaserWriter I acquired today. It is essentially a 4-port standard RJ45 ethernet hub attached to an AAUI …

I got a working power supply from a dead IIfx and it is giving the proper voltages. Unfortunately I'm still not getting any disk or HD activity. However I took a closer look at t…
