Hard Drives — #10

I've been using my 190 (posting from it) with an ultra II CF for about 3 years now - not on daily basis but frequently enough and with enabled VM. Battery lasts more than 2 hours (…

NuBus CPU upgrade in Duo dock? — #18

Paging Trash80toG4 ... where is that guy?? Click to expand... My alternative idea was trying to pin-map the docking bar to a PDS of some sort and mounting it inside a MiniDock.…

Hard Drives — #9

I've got another question, this time about CF cards as HDs. I've been reading about wear-leveling and the speculation by some that with daily use the card would be toast after a fe…

Excellent. Thanks for the information, beachycove. It looks like I'll have a fun project next weekend.

... how did you install the OS onto the CF card in your 2300c? I am away from its DuoDock II and have no external CD drive, so I was thinking I would put it into a PCMCIA adapter a…

Hard Drives — #6

Thank you all for your replies. Part of my challenge for the 3400 is to keep the drive small since I like System 7 and it doesn't like large drives (unless they're partitioned), bu…

Hard Drives — #5

IIRC, that was a problem with specific drives in the 30-40 GB (that size only because that was current in '03/'04) range for the 2400c, 3400c, Kanga, and Wallstreets. OWC had a pa…

Hard Drives — #4

I certainly could not get an ATA-6 drive to work in a 2400c recently, and had to downgrade to an older drive that I had to do some hunting to find (as it needed to be quiet). The 2…

Hard Drives — #3

I know these Duos are IDE and SCSI- would that cause an issue for this mod? Click to expand... In it's stock config, the 2300c uses an IDE hard disk - I've put a 10GB in mine. …

The 3400 should theoretically be able to use any HDD under 120GB. It should even be able to use HDDs over 120GB, just that it'll only recognise the first 128GB.

I come bearing hard drive questions. I need to put a new HD in my 3400c, but I recall hearing once that some ATA-6 drives don't work with that series, does anyone have more data on…

Softwindows 2 68k — #21

Hi everyone around! I now have some time again to continue my quest for Softwindows-2-68k (if it exists). As I already said in above post, I want to try to contact one of the devel…

Shonky PB1400cs - can't slide out HD ribbon — #9

Thou sayest sooth. I misappreciated Byrd's difficulty. The sideslot accepts the bent ribbon-cable by forcefit, and it is only logical to expect that it can be removed with force.…

Shonky PB1400cs - can't slide out HD ribbon — #8

Actually, the 1400's HDD ribbon uses a 44 pin notebook IDE connector on the logic board side that works in exactly the same way as the 44 pin connector that plugs into the HDD. Oth…

Shonky PB1400cs - can't slide out HD ribbon — #7

The ribbon cables in PB1400s and earlier PBs (at least), and the ribbon cables of PB displays, trackballs/trackpads and so on all operate in the same way. The tinned terminals on t…

Shonky PB1400cs - can't slide out HD ribbon — #6

Yes, but especially the 1400's HDD cable, as it folds up into the case, and with it being a 12 - 13 year old ribbon cable, they're starting to go a little brittle, and if you flex …
