By chance I dropped a NEC based generic USB2 card in a graphite G4 running OS 9. Worked fine without drivers, it loaded a USB2 flash stick but I didn't test the speed, although it …

Aww. That's a bit of a bummer. Hm.. What else? Can't really think of anything other than putting old games and stuff on it and trying to find a place for it.

do you have an oscilloscope? Click to expand... Yes I do, but is one of those cheap Radio Shack Scope Pens. I think it only goes to 2MHz, but that should work for this. I thin…

I wouldn't be able to turn it into anything server-y as my isp has 1 ip for _everyone_ on each tower, so no incoming connections.

Really the thing is that I don't have a bloody clue how you make a floppy disk drive work. So I think I need to expand my search to floppy disks in general and then focus on the Ma…

do you have an oscilloscope?

I took a look at Inside Macintosh. It did some useful information, but it mostly described the software interface to the disk controller. I am looking for information on the interf…

So I really have no idea what data and commands the drive expects. So really if I could figure out how any floppy works that would be a good start. Click to expand... Click …

My Q605 running NetBSD does take about 45 seconds to pop out SSH keys. However, it has a 25MHz full '040, so ... Click to expand... Which ssh keys are these? When you first gen…

Just joined here after acquiring my IIci. Click to expand... Because before, you wouldn't have been allowed. ;D

The IIci is a great little machine. I set mine up with the Apple Portrait Display on top, like I saw a MiniII setup in a movie, and listed her on my network as "WordWright." Defini…

I don't have any, sorry bizzle. Best to ask MacJunky More likely to find a FW->USB converter. I think the MiniStack drive has this feature. System Requirem…

There's no USB2.0 support under OS 9. I'm not sure of the situation with SATA cards, but a little searching would probably turn up something. Try xlr8yourmac and the apple suppor…

Yeah I've never interfaced to any sort of storage device before. So I really have no idea what data and commands the drive expects. So really if I could figure out how any floppy …

My goal is a device which is plug compatible with the Apple external 400KB floppy drive. It will store images on some sort of modern storage medium. Click to expand... Thanks f…

This is probably a really good place to start. This device has insufficient memory capacity to replace a Mac drive, but that's just a detail. The unit supports emulating an Apple …

I assumed at the time that any card would do, but when I started hitting all these problems I did some reading around and found a lot of talk about Via chipsets being troublesome. …

I also had made it so it could boot up without a monitor, keyboard and mouse. I just made an apple script file to start up the programs in order. Then play a sound file to indicate…

I have had success with NEC-based USB2 cards. But as others have mentioned they only work at USB2 speeds in MacOS X 10.2.8+. The only exception I have had to a working NEC-based …

My only experience with a USB2 card upgrade was in a PM G4. The only one that could be picked up off-the-shelf was a generic PC one with a Via chip. Turned out to be useless. It wa…
