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.

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…

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! …

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?

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.

What's the VGA display in the hackintosh HTPC do if it has HDMI out?

Thanks JRL, I will wait until New Years Eve so that I can maybe get a second official boot in for the 2000-2009 decade. That makes a total of at least a good 8 days in dry winter…

Yeah, I am familliar with BeBits ( Although, haikuware is news to me). "Back in the day" I used to use BeOS as my daily operating system (Sadly not on a BeBox *tear* ). Haiku is go…

So, I ended up installing Haiku Alpha 1 on it, works good, but its only temporary ( I will not use wondows for the life of me) Click to expand... I had Haiku on my Eee for a bi…
