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…

Here's a surprise — #1

I got a used G3/375 Sonnet upgrade a few days ago and put it in my 7600/132 today and system profiler is reporting a G3 at 417mhz! I didn't know these could be overclocked.

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…

If you really wanted to go nuts, you could go for a Macintosh LC with two internal floppies, plus an Apple IIe card connected to two external floppies... But I think the best you …

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…
