Actually I swapped the chips out of a dead Superdrive unit so it should function as a 1.44MB drive. Tempest Click to expand... Even better!

I'll crack open my spare SE tonight. Not only does it have two floppy bays (which means I won't have to take the other one out), it also has a good working HD installed. I can kil…

My guess at this point would be a lack of power to the drive. You should be able to hear it do *something*. Click to expand... The drive must be receiving +5V because of the X …

Dual 604ev @ 300MHz? — #5

You sometimes find those oddball clones on the European ebay sites, because most of them were sold there. I have yet to find a Maxxboxx for sale,though, and I want one.

IIfx Won't boot — #27

Dennis, to answer a couple of your questions, yes the drive is auto-inject, but it's not necessarily known working. It was working when it was pulled quite a while ago, but I did n…

If AfterMac's spare drive hooked up I now get a disk with a red X through it. Click to expand... I assume the X appears red because of your unusual monitor setup. In actuality…
