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…

Also, you can use the patched Apple SC HD Setup to format ZIP disks, and the OS will treat it like a regular hard disk. The only disadvantage of this is that ejecting is now a two …

If you plan on using a ZIP drive you will need the Iomega 4.2 driver in order for it to boot the Plus. That also brings up some questions about formatting with third party utilitie…

Aren't you a monkey?

Seems cool to me. I wasn't trying to make a monkey out of you.

Well the reason I wont settle for an emu for developing software is primarily a reason I didnt want to mention, but as ur painting me in a shade of grey, I will mention i would lik…

This thread is fully of weirdness.

give it to me for the postage Click to expand... We can all find inspiration in this man's ballsiness.

The postage cost paid by me of course..

give it to me for the postage (shipping) and i will port lwip to it. Failing that, sent it to my frined in North Carolina so we can set up a terminal dial in type of arragenment s…

I was trying to place my mind into a glorious time "2 years" past too. I currently live in a town which may have four Macs in it, two of which belong to one person and none of whi…

Good point. I've trimmed down all my of computers and now have: My sawtooth My BeigeG3 MT My 5300cs My 8600 soon to be parted out However if this was 2 years ago and I still …

If it was a G3 iMac, I would install NetBSD. But it isn't. If I didn't already have half a dozen 9.1 machines, I would install 9.1. But the hypothetical situation has me owning …

Personally I'd go with 9.1 - being able to run Ubuntu isn't really all that special when you can easily find a PC on the side of the road that'll run the x86 version of Ubuntu (whi…

Apparently, they all STILL require foolin' around waaay more than I want to do! BLEH! Click to expand... Only the machines with Old World ROMs. Anything B&W G3/Pismo an…

As much as I love Linux, my vote goes for 9.1. I'm getting old and just want my computers to work with minimal fuss. I don't really use OS 9 for browsing on an extended basis, ju…

The Portable was not finally included in the lot. But there was a lot in the lot, anyway, if you know what I mean.

Does the portable even work?
