Bottom case and hard drive from a 280Logic board from a 230 keyboard and display from a 210 Click to expand... Give my creation .... LIFE!!! {insert thunder crack} Hey Macd: …

Sorry to hear about your bad experience. ...and the keyboard is the worst example of a Duo I've ever used. It's never a good thing when one must pound or continually press t…

With the purchase of this curiosity, I feel that it may be time to re-think the whole eBay thing. This machine was advertised as a Duo 280. I figured cool, I don't have one of tho…

Wow.... Wanna give one now? No, really, I'll come get it

Snagged a Q950 this morning for free, 90MB RAM, 3 HDs but the largest is only 1GB. The unit is in very good condition. Also snagged a Supermac GDM-1950 STD 9790 Trinitron 19" Colo…

A "local" guy (meaning: within 24 hours drive, and in the same country...) has made me an offer I can't refuse for my non-working A4000. So I have a couple $ to spend upgrading my…

Hard Disk Toolkit mounted the Zip Drive!!!!! :O ;D

Silverlining Lite will probably do it. It's a control panel that you stick in your control panels folder. Just download it from here, unstuff it, drop it in your control panels…

The Zip Disks are HFS. I'll be trying Hard Disk Toolkit, Anibus, and Silverlining tonight.

When you mount the zip media you are using on the 4400, do they mount as PC formatted zips with the pc designation and built in translation or as Mac formatted zips?

I don't know. I've never owned or used a Zip Drive. I don't know anything about them. I have an EZ135 drive that I used to use. I used Silverlining Lite to mount those disk…

The Zip Drive not mounting doesn't have to do with the non-Apple HD. My Macintosh LC III with an Apple HD can't mount it either. (The Macintosh LC III doesn't ever have instability…

I reset the PRAM, and the Quadra is now stable with/without SCSI Manager 4.3. Zip Disks still don't mount. What shall I do next? Do you think I should erase the hard drive and put…

The green screen is fairly logical, as Amiga's won't start without ChipRAM The 4000 doesn't need a battery to work, mine's never had one (I got the guy I bought it off to remov…

I'll try right now.

First get a complete backup. Then defragment the disk in case it's that. Then we need to get you a competent formatter that will test and map out sector defects and update the fa…

I just found this article. It says at the end that the Quadra 700 has a flashing question mark problem. Anybody know about that?

In your position I might bust out Hard Disk Speed Tools and see if it could help(it has helped a few times in the past with HDs and my CD-RW).Were the old versions of Disk Warrior …

I have bad news. The Quadra 700 can't boot up with SCSI Manager 4.3 even without the Zip Drive connected. The thing is that the macintosh is rocksolid when actually working with no…

Well, looking at the history thread to which you directed me, that Quadra has an attitude. Until you have a data backup maybe it would be better if all further rescue attempts be …

I ran Disk First Aid on the HD. Here are the results. Code: Checking disk “Macintosh HD”. Checking disk volume. Checking extent BTree. Checking extent file. Checking catalo…

I was able to regain my stability by: 1.Disabling SCSI Manager 4.3 and restarting 2.Updating the HD Driver using the Patched HD SC Setup 3.Restarting with All Extensions Enabled…

Duh, I should have added Apple's Disk First Aid to the list, it fixes things that Norton Utilities does not. I have updated drivers using Apple's Setup tool, and even MacOS versio…
