PM's sent to alk and equill.

That's a great find - must be very rare in that condition. Considering this, $78.88 is peanuts. I have a very similar external SCSI drive, a 5.25" full height drive inside a Formac…

Lithium leaks are BAD if you get them on you. Most alkaline will just mess up your skin if you dont wash, a mild acid will get rid of it (vinegar, lemon).

Today I decided to get out the Mac Classic II I got for my 15th birthday and restore it. Aside from the original CRT I was able to round up all of my original components, which wer…

good news! I let it sit over night and it powered up and booted!!

Saw this on eBay only too late to bid. One of the few hard drives which will work on a Mac 128K. Amazing condition.

In the light of the discussion and listing in this thread, what could be of interest to you? My Install and Restore CDs for the immediately preceding iBook (600MHz/14-in/8MB VRAM)…

Try removing and replacing the ROM chips. Make sure the notches all face the edge of the board, not the center. If you get any kind of response at all from this then bars or black …

I have the same problem with an iBook G3 (800MHz 32 MB VRAM model). I've got a 9.2.2 installer CD that shipped with the 16MB iBooks, but it hasn't solved the problem for me, eithe…

That's it. I've downloaded and burned about a dozen .ISO files - all useless. I also have retail copies of OS 9 -> 9.2.1 and 9.1, neither will let me install. Yes they are…

Hello. Well i got my mac off of eBay. It ran for about 45 minutes and when i went to use it later on it gave me the vertical bars. It looked like the capacitors on the logic boar…

A powered USB hub should do it then Wayne

Some laptop ports are underpowered, by my guess to save power when you use them on battery. I had this issue when i got an iPod Touch and I only had my iBook 500Mhz with me and it …

You folks guessed right, my drives are not powered by external power. I'm really surprised that the PB 17" USB 2.0 ports don't have enough juice, isn't that weird? I'm very optimi…

Oh cool! Now does this just pretty much modify the NVRAM making it independent of the software once installed? Like i install it, turn it on, and i can swap out the hard drive with…

It basically means that your powerbook can't provide the necessary power to spool up the HDDs. You might either need to get a USB -> IDE/SATA Converter that you can apply e…

Whenever I plug in the hard drives, they both started to make a clicking sound. Uh oh, there may be something really wrong and I thought my data was long gone. Click to expand..…

I'm at my wit's end and thought I'd give it a shot on this forum. I have two hard drives, one an external WD Passport 120GB that was formatted for Mac and the other is an internal…

Right. Rev 1 B&W G3 does NOT support booting from slave IDE devices because the on-board ROM for the controller does not understand how to access slave devices. OS …

I had 4 hard drives in my Gigabit G4. As long as jumper settings are set. It works. Sure I had no optical drive, but it worked. Click to expand... That's nothing special. The R…
