Next time, a good idea is to use software such as TechTool and a cleaning diskette to clean the floppy drive. Click to expand... This is good advice. However, that won't get r…

If I recall, back on the old Snitz board I hit over 5000 posts. And I will admit - I did more than my fair share of postcount++; back then - I was young, and despite being 18, stil…

Speaking of being a cranky ol' coot, although I don't, I don't achieve this nearly as much as the other ops, but I've been a member of this community for 7 full years as of just ab…

Have you used Asanté EtherTalk Installer v5.6.1? Ideallly the software is installed before OT 1.1.1/1.1.2 so that it cannot overwrite OT with older componets. It is by no means e…

You burned out fast didn't you (joined at the end of 2008 not even a year). Click to expand... Must have been an incandecent lightbulb... :

Next time, a good idea is to use software such as TechTool and a cleaning diskette to clean the floppy drive.

Some of those Asante devices aren't full-fledged Ethernet->Localtalk bridges, but rather, dedicated printer adapter devices. Easiest way to do what you want to do is to get…

I've looked at the archives quite a bit, that's why I sometimes accidentily call you Trash80toG4

So LCGuy doesn't have the most posts anymore...I'm the only person on page 2 if you sort it by most posts first who joined in 2009. the rest joined in 2007 and a couple in 2008 I'…

I found a new one in an old LC on work. I'll trash the old one. I think it was about to be broken anyway, the head was very loose even before I began to clean it. The new one works…

I'm surprised to hear that alcohol worked -- that's a bit counterintuitive. I've always used WD-40 as a solvent (NOT as a lube here). It works a treat, as the saying goes. Wipe eve…

Yeah, some of the statistics PHPbb3 has are pretty interesting. As an example, I've been here since the start of this iteration of the board, and indeed, as of today I've been on t…

Sony MP-F75W-02G is another one. There are probably other model numbers out there too. AFAIK, the spring in a generic floppy drive is slightly different. And fiddling with such pro…

As far as I know, vintage Asante kit doesn't work at all with modern networking equipment. You need a 10 Mbps hub (very cheap) in between your DSL modem and your Quadra 605.

The head was loose to. So I ironed it, and I fastended the spring. And it looked good and "closed", but it didn't work So I must buy Sony MP-F75W-01G, Sony MP-F75W-11G or Sony …

You won't be able to get that read/write head to come back down again. I know because I accidently did the same to one of my drives. Any Auto-Inject Sony SuperDrive mechanism will …

My stats suck. :-/ 0.88% of all posts / 1.55 posts per day Click to expand... Oh well.

I'm having trouble getting my Quadra 605 connected to the internet through my LAN and DSL modem. The DSL modem is a Motorola Netopia 3347. The DSL connection is through Qwest. I …

IT'S ALIVE! IT'S ALIVE! Hehe Yes it works. Got my batteries today and popped them in and it worked The only problem I have now is that my floppydrive seems to be broken …

Only a Mac geek would post THAT much on a board like this. Oh....wait....

I get a feeling it's magnetic based on what was mentioned. I tried the analog board in another Classic with a different hard drive (I've got a non-Apple ProDrive LPS in the Classic…

What kind of interferince?

Good News: 128mb stick worked; Color Classic now reports 135mb of built-in memory. I have virtual memory off. Any use for RAM disk now? Bad news: Gah! Now that I have OT 1.1.1 i…
