Err... PM sent. :b&w:

What disk are you talking about? The 7.5 from apple is a segmented .img file. Try the Legacy Recovery CD ( PM me for link )

Sure, excuse me. I got this pop-up window which says: "This disk is unreadable by Macintosh. Do you want to initialize the disk?".

Well I burned it in x8 speed (the lowest Snow Leopard burning speed I can choose) and it doesn't work. Click to expand... Can you be more specific than "it doesn't work"? Does …

Well I burned it in x8 speed (the lowest Snow Leopard burning speed I can choose) and it doesn't work.

Unfortunately I already have the latest version (2.0.4?) if the AirPort software.

It's a disk 'image'. It contains all of the neccisary HFS formatting. THe disk burning app reads byte 1, writes byte 1. reads byte 2, writes... etc

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120120 Software update for OS9 is not really maintained by Apple anymore, so far as I can see, and so seldom if ever works. You have…

I don't know. I wasn't able to get it working under any sub versions of OS 9. Also, if there is an update available, I can't get it. The MacOS update utility has always been hit a…

my original idea which i never started or attempted, but ill throw it out there for you if you want to do it this way: My idea was to make an external floppy emulator that plugs i…

Two thoughts: 1. There is an Airport update available for OS9, as I recall, and though one would have thought it included in 9.2.2, you never know.... Worth a shot? 2. I mostly u…

Just got hold of Apple Recovery CD, Booted it with the help of an external CD and voila !It was a dream. Now all I need are the Diagnostics for LC III so I can check if all is ok.…

I own two tangerine iBooks and one has an AirPort card in it. Because of its limited specs (128mb ram, 300mhz G3, 4mb Vram and a 12gb hard drive.) I decided to install 9.2.2 inste…

My PM5400 works pretty well for browsing, as long as java stays off.

I'd assume that your Q605 uses a Mitsubishi, since a lot of manual-inject Macs from that era have Mitsubishis. Click to expand... Yes, that does sound familiar. I haven't opene…

That's likely. Apple probably got a different manufacturer to create the slimmer drive needed in the laptop. I noticed that the drive in the Quadra 605 (with dust flap and differen…

Dog Cow, there is no way the UniDisk will work on a Mac with it's "smart" circuitry intact. It's the equivalent of hooking an electrically compatible Disk II. As for the Lombard P…

Just to be clear on these points: The 800K 3.5" drive for Apple II (UniDisk) is identical to the drive mechanism used in the Macintosh. The only difference is that the Apple II ver…

Well good news and bad news. I decided to take a look at the Developer Note for the LCIII and it states this. The Macintosh LC III uses a new floppy disk controller circuit,…

There is the early 800K 3.5" drive for the Apple II which has its own 6502, buffer RAM, and IWM chip inside and which talks to the host like a HD20. There is the 400K Sony drive in…

I wonder if I still have that. Click to expand... While searching for it, please also remember to keep an eye out for your MacDraw schematics.

Just to make things interesting, Apple has a bunch of different floppy drives with different software interfaces which all plug into the floppy port / IWM / SWIM / IBM chips. There…

Well about the time I pulled out the soldering iron I realized something. If I want to understand how the drive works it would be much better to spy on it while the Mac is using it…

I did some research and found that the SWIM and pretty close to the IWM. I took a look at the Linux Mac floppy driver code and apparently a command is sent to the drive it switch i…

Thanks. That did it. I can connect to the server from the Mac, and transfer files. Now to see if I can get macipgw to compile... Interestingly enough, the response from Asante (w…
