A bit of insight on the floppy drives... There were five different non-Powerbook external 3.5" drives produced by Apple during the 1980s and 1990s that plugged into the floppy dri…

Is there any usable information on doing it with Linux? Is OS 9 not an option, either?

Fabulous. I've got a G4 running Leopard - are there any third-party applications for OS X that can handle this? I can also run OS 9 if necessary. Click to expand... No Leopard …

MacTCP manages to talk TCP/IP over LocalTalk by packaging each IP packet as a DDP packet and sending it to a "MacIP Gateway". Unless you have some component on your network doing t…

I've got a Classic II running 7.5.5 and MacTCP 2.1. I've also got an AsanteTalk adapter that appears to work. When it's plugged into a switch, the RX light flashes, as does the act…

Love the wood paneling Is that an old ImageWriter? Nice touch

Now that you have a >4GB internal HD, make sure you never attempt to mount the 1400 to another Mac in SCSI Disk Mode. There's a non-fixable firmware bug that can lead to da…

there is no description of what exactly the insert/eject mechanism should do. For instance, does it 'sink' a few mm when you put in the disk, or does it stay put? Click to expa…

Thanks Mac128! Yes, I've been to that website you linked to; the pictures are a bit fuzzy, however, and there is no description of what exactly the insert/eject mechanism should d…

But from my research about these drives, I found that they will not work on my Macintosh 512k without special software, which can only come from a floppy disk that has to be insert…

Very well written. Enjoy that machine.

Nice haul. The Mac looks like its in good condition, with no yellowing. Looks like it comes with some good accessories too...are those game controllers ADB? :O Click to expand.…

Hi, Thanks JRL; I've actually been watching those for a while now. But from my research about these drives, I found that they will not work on my Macintosh 512k without speci…

I counted 3 row of 40 pins which is a PDS connector, not a Nubus. So this would add an FPU to the IIsi that doesn't have one and allows one to keep the PDS slot for an ethernet or…

x2 cheap compatible 800k drives: Linky

JRL's right...its a right angle PDS adaptor board for the IIsi. While it will fit the SE/30, it would've originally been intended for the IIsi, as it has a FPU fitted. (the SE/30 h…

It is a Nubus angle converter for the IIsi/SE/30 if I remember correctly.

Anyone know what this is: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370246807920 It looks about the size of an Asante network card and is that a math coprocessor …

The Goodwill here rarely sells computers. However, one time I went there, they had tons and tons of them. Two Sun Ultra 5s, ~15 PCs, and ~5 laptops (including a heavily upgraded P…

Very nice. Its always really nice to have a machine like that, that you have such fond memories of, come full-circle and be gifted to you.

. . . recoupment? I'm not sure what to call my latest . . . re-acquisition! When I was in Philly, my (very wonderful) ex-wife brought down a few boxes of goodies. My Bell &a…
