Hi WilyKat, about this card, do you want to sell it perhaps?  I have a Quadra 800 that needs an upgrade.

There is also the possibility to fix that 7.x bus error in software somehow. I did that on my Mystic but totally forgot what you had to do. Edit: now that was easy... http://colou…

That is true, but it is a 0 ohm, so it's just one solder bridge when you want to do the VGA mod.

You can remove resisters, but if at some point you want to do the vga mod you'll likely have to put them back...

I seem to remember just removing a resistor fixes this. I never did the video upgrade to my classic and it boots OS's before 8 just fine. I think this site details what I'm talkin…

Yes, but you will have to run system 8... a 575 board without the vga mod confuses system 7.5 and with show a bus error...

Hi folks.... I have not done the 640 X 480 mod to my Color Classic yet.  I would like to take a 575 logic board I just bought and plug it into my Color Classic.  Can I do that wit…

The biggest I have tried as 20 gigabyte (used a  powermac laptop hard disk with adaptor) .  Only issue is having 10 partitions as that fills up the screen with drives.  The Mac is …

I would suspect that these machines can accept drives up to 128 GB, like they're contemporary PC counterparts (I'm not 100% certain of this, but it seems logical that it would EDIT…

Why on earth is the max ram in this Mac an odd amount? I haven't tried to put a 32mb simm in the slot labeled 16mb max... But I was curious if anyone ever tried, or modified this? …

Thanks TheDoctor, thanks Byrd Took another tack. Partitioned the drive to less than 2 GB and tried an install of OS 7.6 from the original CD that came with the 3400c. Still no joy…

Good pick up, TheDoctor - you might be on to something  Hope you get there AichEss.

I suspect this is the problem. If you are installing Mac OS 9.1 on a PowerBook 3400 running Mac OS 9.04, you must perform the installation without updating your hard disk dr…

What size is your SATA drive?  There's a limit of ~128GB on the older Macs.

I couldn't get a ZIF PATA - mSATA adapter to work on my MBA.

So you probably want an ATA-6 drive unless someone can correct me there. I had a similar problem.

Trying to figure out ATA compatabilities A drive out of the 3400c is a 2 GB Travelstar DCRA-22160. The specs say it is ATA2 Fast/Enhanced with an external data transfer rate = 16.…

Great news. Like Byrd said, its a compatibility issue. Have you tried it on an older machine like a 1400?

It's likely related to what ATA standard the 3400c and Pismo support, and backwards compatibility of the mSATA drive and/or adapter. I'd try another cheap adapter. In other news,…

In a bit of experimentation I have been trying various SSD schemes in my PB 3400c.   Compact Flash cards in the HD spot with a generic Asian CF-to-IDE adapter work just fine as do…
