Quad-CPU MaxxBoxx! Oh, I'd like to have one!

Hello. I wanted to see what others thing of the mac clones. Any particular favorites? Mine is my PowerTower Pro. Its a hilarious fusion of mac and beige PC. Its pretty cool, with a…

that could be connected through the serial (printer or modem) port Click to expand... We need those drivers ...

Hi, Sent you a PM.

Unfortunately macgreg was taken on MacTalk The iMacs are very tough too - my 4 year old son inserted three CD-ROMS into a slot load drive at once - I extracted them all and th…

(btw I am gregh from MacTalk...) Click to expand... Oh hey, I had no idea you were on MacTalk. I'm over there with you and Byrd as well, same name as here. Really nice little …

I had no idea the transfer rates were so high Click to expand... IBM PC's, even with an 8088 (wow!) used a DMA controller for floppy disk because of the data rates. You could j…

IWM in the Macintosh is similar but not identical to the Apple ][ controller. There's a / device out there that emulates a physical floppy drive and works with the Apple ][ / calle…

First, the good news. I just got a new Apple IIe for free from a friend! It's got a printer, color monitor, and two disk drives. Now, the bad. The power supply shorted out within …

Incidentally, you can make your own view new posts URL that excludes other parts of the forum (or, more properly speaking, only includes certain parts of the forum) by mucking arou…

That can be simplified a bit by enabling the sub-forum search option (&sc=1) since phpBB doesn't distinguish between forums and categories – so the forums listed on the ind…

This seems to work, the major drawback being that changes to the forum may break it. Code: http://68kmla.org/forums/search.php?fid[]=1&fid[]=3&fid[]=4&a…

This is probably a "doable" project, but it's going to involve at least some hardware. (IE, I don't think you'll be able to get away with just a cable linking bare pins on the para…

You could do a really crude approach where you actually format the "disk" using the Macintosh and simply record the output signal at a suitable resolution, it's still a digital sig…

Perhaps a combination of a parallel port and a soundcard for the analogue waveform. Sounds horrendous, but it would be a good stepping stone on the way to a microcontroller based …

Inexpensive cost but they are trying to charge me $56.80 to ship to Canada... Click to expand... Just one of many reasons not to use ebay.

A floppy port is expecting to talk to spinning media with sectors and tracks and critical signalling and timing. It's expecting to receive a waveform taken directly from the read …

Try looking up information on the Apple II disk controller, then find out what the differences between that and a Mac are. If I recall correctly, they are quite similar.

The idea was that I could write a program to run on my box that takes a mac disk image, and serves it to a real mac via the parallel port through the mac's floppy port. This would…

Great score, the AppleVision 1710AV is a fine display, I've had one for about 6 years, and its probably my favourite CRT, though mine only works properly at high resolutions (1024x…

This AppleVision 1710AV display was intercepted at the local recycler for $10, and it's a real survivor. It has minimal discoloration, a near perfect screen, and it even had the o…

I use my quicksilver with EyeTv as a PVR. Occasionally I import a tv show into iMovie and burn it to a DVD for someone. Wayne

You could use it as extra processing for re encoding videos and such. Or as a remote iTunes player. Or extra processing for someone else. Check out Folding@Home.
