I've had issues like that when connecting the wrong type of floppy drive to an older machine. Try an older drive, closer to the LC era.

It helps keep things organized if you dedicate machines to specific software/tasks. There are a few machines in my collection I got for free and was about to toss because they loo…

I finally got around during the past couple of days of idleness over the holidays to reassembling the IIfx (in Mac II case) mentioned in the above posts. Some observations: Dirt…

Very nice. Boxed stuff is so rare. I actually have boxes with no corresponding (serial # matched) machines... I have one for a 7600, one for a PowerBook G3, a G3 Tower, and an App…

Have you tried a different cable? Also, have you tried both the cable and drives on a different Mac? If you have, I'd say there's an issue with the SWIM chip.

So I finally got a motherboard replacement for my broken LC, but it has a weird problem. When I connect a floppy drive, it'll constantly try to access the drive. It'll then pop u…

I've never seen that external HDD, that looks cool. Click to expand... It's a floppy drive. The front piece kinda folds down and props the front end of the drive up a bit. Hard…

Wow! I just heard back from a seller that he's got a 200 mhz board for a PB 3400 for only $20. Can anyone confirm that it's possible to transplant a 200mhz. board into a unit that …

You can modify the Sawtooth motherboard to take a CPU from a Quicksilver, but this requires removal of one of the IDE connectors and the need to wire a +12V line to the CPU. Also …

The processor from a Digital Audio will work. One thing you would have to do is change the cpu multiplier resistors. They tell the processor to run at so many times bus speed. your…

The battery most certainly has bulged. I had bulged (and obviously dead) batteries in all my 1xx conquests. To force the door to slide, +1 for the ruler tip above. Then I'd pull! …

You still interested n selling the parts Lombard? Click to expand... yes, sorry, i had a lot of school work recently, i'll take paypal, and i'll look into usps for the quote …

Are there any faster Apple G4 processors that will work on my Sawtooth besides a dual or single 500mhz module? I've been trolling eBay and see several pulled processors from faste…

Righteous conquest, dude!

That, is really awesome! Congrats, and I hope that there will be good unboxing pictures! Even if, as it looks like, it's been unboxed before. [] ]'>

I don't know, it hasn't shipped yet. I'll find out soon. I'm not too worried about the software since Apple put up System 7 for free. I also have 2 copies of System 7.1 on fl…

Geez you're doing alright! :O Nice machine, looks in good original condition with no yellowing, too. Did you get the disks for all the applications listed on the box?

$76 on eBay! Yehaw! This puppy will sit on my Mac Shrine next to my LC (which I'm getting a new mobo for free from some chap in Oakland tomorrow.) I also bought a 128MB 5v EDO SIM…

What/ where is the text file for the Voodoo cards? I have a Voodoo 5 that one of these days will run an LCD; it'd be handy to have the details squirreled away for that purpose.

If you have a 3dfx VooDoo 3, 4, or 5 video card, the resolutions available for the OS are contained in a simple text file that you can modify. I thought it was pretty nifty, you c…

Just as a cool secondary monitor. This is kind of a combination of two projects—a Mac Plus with a Core 2 inside and a home theater PC.
