Hello everyone, I have a ton of SCSI 160 and 320 cards and HDDs from dell servers. Would the cards work in my G4 tower? If so OS 9.2 work or would i need OS X? I don't know how p…

... or at least have a spare or borked MiniDock you don't mind hackrificing. Say, jt, if you can find one for sale somewhere and you want to give this project a kick along, I'll t…

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 few months. Click to expand... This is th…

I had thought about putting a CF card in the PCMCIA slot (on my 3400) and using that as a VM module so to speak. Click to expand... Yeah, not a great idea, because PCMCIA is qu…

Thanks for the information, fmwolf. I'm happy to see that a 190 can handle the MLA. I'm glad hear that your CF card has lasted this long. With frequent backups, this hard drive alt…

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 (…

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.…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Well, the browser is a damned handy thing... with serious limitations. It's not really much good for modern web content, but it is a great way to download files to your Apple II. Y…

I don't think not programming for Contiki disqualifies you from commenting on its use. Anything about the (user perspective!) differences between 1.x and 2.x, using the UI or …

Unfortunately I don't have much to contribute... I haven't done any programming for Contiki. As far as using it goes, I'm running the 2.x version on the web server and I use 1.3 fo…

Maybe luddite could write a bit about his Contiki experiences for us, and explain the differences between the 1.x and 2.x branches. I recently read something about 2.x being focus…

I played with it a bit last year... I was hoping to get a proline bbs online, but the message board part is pretty archaic and I wasn't up to the task of writing a new one. Neat to…

I took a look at ProLine last night, since it apparently has a lot of Unix-like architecture. Click to expand... Except I don't believe it does multitasking, does it? Click …

I think the closest you'll come to something that works out of the box w/o a lot of work is Contiki. I don't have any experience with it, but some people around here do.
