Mac OS 8 on a G4 QuickSilver 2002 — #7

You can try MacOnMac or MOL on Linux, but it will not run nativly. Click to expand... On the other hand ... MacOnMac and MacOnLinux are not emulators. In the same way that WI…

Mac OS 8 on a G4 QuickSilver 2002 — #6

No problem! It was even difficult for me to install 8.6 on my Sawtooth G4. People here helped to make it happen. [] ]'>

Mac OS 8 on a G4 QuickSilver 2002 — #3

Thanks for the quick reply. I know some early G4s shipped with what they call a Borg 8.6.1 disc. I guess this was basically a disc that only came with certain iMac G3 and the first…

It is just impossible. It's missing drivers and makes wrong assumptions on the hardware. You can try MacOnMac or MOL on Linux, but it will not run nativly.

Mac OS 8 on a G4 QuickSilver 2002 — #1

Hi, I'm new here. I've been looking everywhere on how to be able to do this. I want to be able to run OS 8 on my PPC G4 QuickSilver 2002. I stumbled upon this article, just now, wr…

Imation super disk drive — #11

You need an LS-240 drive to enable 32meg magic. The first-generation (LS-120) superdisk drives will not do this. Plus, you'll need the utilities that shipped with the drives to all…

Imation super disk drive — #10

I think you have that backwards, Bunsen. So 32MB on a floppy huh? Interesting. I have a few LS-120 disks laying around so that wouldn't be an issue. So how does one go about f…

Imation super disk drive — #8

Brilliant, Bunsen -- that may very well be true. It is quite possible that these drives would be able to read damaged floppies that are unreadable in ordinary drives. I'll have to …

On the other foot, might they be able to successfully read otherwise departed 1.4MB floppies? What with all their ultra fine headiness.

Imation super disk drive — #6

Pretty amazing achievement, I agree. These drives squeeze many more tracks onto the disk by using narrower heads (much like the ones used in hard drives), and laying down a track b…

Imation super disk drive — #4

And if it's one of the late models (LS-240), it has the interesting ability to squeeze 32MB onto an ordinary 1.44MB floppy disk.

Imation super disk drive — #3

I have an Imation USB floppy drive, for 1.44 MB disks, that I used on an iMac G3 with no problems. It will read, write, and format floppies in either Mac or PC 1.44 format and in …

Imation super disk drive — #2

The imation super disks read and write 1.44MB disks and their 120MB superdisks. Then USB ones have drivers for the Mac. I have a PCMCIA unit that is PC only, plus an internal drive…

My dad came back from his office today with a whole bunch of Mac stuff that his office no longer uses. There were a few mice, an OS CD for a Power Macintosh G3, other various util…
