smooth platter spin is a good sign, course you wont really know until you engage the heads is there a name on the card?

Awesome! Thanks for the tip! I was about to drop a load of cash on Mac Disk. I'm hoping the driver comes with the card. I'm pretty sure I can find it online though. I powered up …

I would recommend either Gemulator Explorer or HFSExplorer both run on windows and work well. (Don't forget windows drivers for the SCSI card. Sometimes it isn't just plug an' p…

Thanks for the offer, but I just bought a cheap one off of eBay. Oh well, it only cost me $15 with shipping and it is from a reputable company. If it doesn't work, I'm only out $15…

Never mind... Google is my friend. ) It's a SCSI, so now what? I would hate to buy a SCSI card for a drive that has been dormant for nearly ten years. :-/

LC II hard drive question... — #1

I have a dead LC II. I'd like to see if the hard drive is still good and if possible, copy any data off of it. However, the connector is most definitely not IDE as it has about 1/3…

Holy of Holies -- Quadra 840AV! — #12

What would you even do with 512MB in a Quadra? Click to expand... I think it'd be pretty much like beachycove said -- you'd do it just to say you did. If I ever come across…

Holy of Holies -- Quadra 840AV! — #11

What would you even do with 512MB in a Quadra? Would it be possible to install the OS to a RAM disk assuming you never shut the machine down? You'd have to reboot to use the OS fr…

Holy of Holies -- Quadra 840AV! — #10

I have never used anywhere near 128MB running OS 8.1 and apps that run on a 68K. The extra RAM is just for bragging I guess.

The thing would take an aeon to start up Click to expand... An excellent point -- something I too often forget about 68k machines is the RAM check at startup.

Holy of Holies -- Quadra 840AV! — #8

Apart from saying that you'd done it, is there any good reason to put 512MB of RAM in a Quadra, especially if 128MB SIMMS cost $20 a pop? I suppose that, with 512MB, you could run…

Holy of Holies -- Quadra 840AV! — #7

Look for 128 meg 72 pin SIMMs for Cobalt Raq2 systems. They'll work, and they aren't ridiculously large like some 128 meg SIMMs. You can usually find them on eBay for $20 USD or le…

Options for replacing an early Li-Ion main battery — #8

I have a 2hr battery, so do not need a replacement just now. 2 years from now, maybe. This latest post was made purely with a view to the possibility of experimentation on a dead b…

I also back the upgrade to the 1400c active matrix screen! I had one of each and the active is far superior. The only advantage the CS has is that it's hard for people to see what…

Options for replacing an early Li-Ion main battery — #6

This evening I read with some surprise that the cousin of the 2400c, the 3400c, can use and charge the battery from a PB 190/ 5300, which is, of course, a NiMh battery rather than …
