Floppy port limit? — #10

I don't even think you can - I don't think the Apple PC 5.25" drive has a port for daisy chaining, does it? Click to expand... The Mac II has lots of NuBus slots, so I was talk…

Yep, you're correct. The max number of drives you can get on a Mac is three. Two internal (SE only?) and one external. Click to expand... Pardon my vague memory, but does any…

Floppy port limit? — #6

The Mac II had an external 5.25" floppy drive option, which uses a NuBus card. So a Mac II can have 3 with that option. I'm not sure what happens if you try to hook up more than …

Heh, I have a Dell 23" LCD, and it weighs nothing compared to most 14" CRTs, even the Macintosh Colour Display (which is pretty light for a CRT, I have to admit) Its funny to thin…

Floppy port limit? — #5

Solid State Drive (SSD) in SE/30 — #62

It worked! I can boot system 7.5 off of the ssd now. Fantastic. It's a bit pain having to have about 800000 partitions though.
