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…

That's why I want the one I'm owed, it's the 17" OS9 compatible model.

These are technically things I acquired in 2014 but I've only gotten a chance to start playing with them recently. First off, picked up an iMac G4 mostly so I could have a fast OS…

Bad solder joints. There's a thread somewhere on here about that problem with some photos of which ones you'll want to freshen up.

Yeah they look like platinum, one is slightly yellowed. Also, one of them I sometimes need to smack a couple of times to get the crt on. Any ideas what the problem is? Just a loose…

Even more impressive is that you got two keyboards and two external hard drives!! Are they both platinum?

Well done! That's what I call a good trade!

haha outstanding!!!! now all you need to do is get over and pick you up a Floppy Emu/HD20 Emu and a 1meg Re-Writeable rom disk kit. http://www.bigmessowires.com/macintosh-floppy…

Indeed! Good job! c

Nice trade.

I traded a PM G5 I had for two full 4MB Mac Plus systems with someone on craigslist. { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox_previous": "Pr…

I still have my Video Spigot card.  It was a very cool thing to have back in the day, being able to run anything on Macintosh screen. Since no adapter seems to exists, looks like …

No. As far as I know, nobody ever made a PDS to dual NuBus adapter, and if someone did, you'd need an extended case, like the one you pictured. If you could run a second NuBus car…

Back in the old day, Macintosh LC had very limited space and was limited to either 2 dlsk drives (original LC) or 1 disk drive and 1 hard drive, no internal CD or other drive optio…

Leopard flies on the G5, but obviously it's useless if you want to run Classic.

Yeah I agree. I have decided quite easily to make this now my main desktop machine and as you can see, cleared the desk for it. I am quite impressed just how easy it is to make thi…

Well, it kinda depends on if you want to run Classic, or just OSX as a "modern" computer.

So its not worth installing 10.5.x on a G5?
