Pretty amazing achievement, I agree. These drives squeeze many more tracks onto the disk by using narrower heads (much like the ones used in hard drives), and laying down a track b…

I tried those drivers already, but they don't seem to work. ???

You will probably need to use a newer version of the Orinoco drivers with OS 8.6. Version 7.2 of the drivers is available here (at the bottom of the page): http://www.alksoft.com/p…

Greetings everyone. I just reinstalled Mac OS 8.6 on my 1400 and I have an ORiNOCO WaveLan wireless card for it. Before I installed 8.6, the card worked perfectly (System 7.6). But…

Tom: Really? How does that work? :O And is it reliable? :O

And if it's one of the late models (LS-240), it has the interesting ability to squeeze 32MB onto an ordinary 1.44MB floppy disk.

I have an Imation USB floppy drive, for 1.44 MB disks, that I used on an iMac G3 with no problems. It will read, write, and format floppies in either Mac or PC 1.44 format and in …

The imation super disks read and write 1.44MB disks and their 120MB superdisks. Then USB ones have drivers for the Mac. I have a PCMCIA unit that is PC only, plus an internal drive…

My dad came back from his office today with a whole bunch of Mac stuff that his office no longer uses. There were a few mice, an OS CD for a Power Macintosh G3, other various util…

Yes it will, I have the 100GB version in my PowerBook Pismo(was in my dual USB), it works fine.

will this harddrive work with my g3 ibook dual usb Fujitsu MHV2040AH

I have a question, my dual 450 G4 is having logic board issues, I am wondering if I can swap that CPU to my single 450 G4 powermac.

Exactly. The G4 put a lot of power for a little money on the table. Traditionally that kind of CPU performance was only found with "The Big Boys". You know them as SGI, Sun and I…

Yeah. Crazy feds. But at least we've got a chance for some improvement coming up in the next couple months. On topic, what other systems marketed at regular consumers ever had thi…

Multiprocessing on the PowerPC 7xx-series chips was difficult because, like the 603 they were based on, they lacked the proper cache coherency protocols and the like to support pro…

I've wanted one of those ever since I first saw them reviewed in MacAddict magazine so many years ago. If I had the opportunity to pick one of them up, I'd do it in a flash if the …

Got it, thanks. I wonder though, whether the 1400 even has the Adapter Sense circuits mentioned.

Note that refers to the Powerbook G4 15" and 17", which I believe take the newer, smaller (but similarly shaped) power connector. So it may not be relevant to a 1400. By "outer se…

There is a somewhat obscure note on PowerBook power adapter sense circuits at http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1266.html which specifies clearly where the +24V and Gnd conne…

Thanks! great info.. i have the charger of my old stolen laptop. it is 24V, I must try the thing about using a 6.5mm plug

Ah, I see, RetroFloppy is the way to go! Thanks, David! Ben

I do not have any Apple equipment other than my iMac. I'm looking for hardware translation service for my old 5.25" floppies (formatted on Apple ][e). Cheers, Ben
