The PWM signal is well documented in Inside Macintosh and Apple Macintosh Family Hardware Reference. A PAL reads the disk-speed buffer in RAM and generates a PWM. However, the 800K…

I overclocked my PB5300c 100Mhz to 117 - considering it's one of the slowest PPCs around, this makes it only slightly slower Click to expand... Slightly less slow, Shirley? At…

In addition to the display, I think it also had the 117 Mhz 603e from the 5300ce. I'd say that this was most likely what ended up being the PowerBook 1400, considering that the fir…

The site is up! This year we have a DOOM competition too! Roll Up - Roll Up!! http://www.retrochallenge.org

If you are going to emulate the 400K drive itself, it is completely dumb. What it receives is encoded RLL data which goes thru an amplifier straight to the write head. To read, the…

Heh - on a very dark, rainy day last week I overclocked my PB5300c 100Mhz to 117 - considering it's one of the slowest PPCs around, this makes it only slightly slower JB

Nice scores! Chances are the "two hard drives" are just one 40GB partitioned into 8GB + ~ 30GB to install OS X on the first 8GB partition. JB

I am going to be getting a Purple iMac G3, tray-loading. It has Mac OS 10.3.9, 333MHZ, 2 hard drives in it (that's what they told me, an 8GB and a 30GB), 256MB Ram. I will be che…

Have you come across the Catweazel? Catweasel Disk Controller ISA Catweasel is a universal floppy disk controller that uses unmodified PC diskdrives. The Catweasel can read …

without having to vary the data rate. Click to expand... That's a good thing, right? In terms of building an emulated peripheral.

or a Ham license and packet radio hehe

You should AT LEAST get dial-up. 8-o

...but its better than my old dialup so im not complaining Click to expand... It's better than what I've got: I have to leave my home and drive 25 miles into town when I want t…

Oh and i forgot to mention that it's very unreliable... pingtest gives me an F and 5-10% of the time the connections down I cant wait till Insight, Sigicom, SBC, Comcast, Insight …

I wouldn't be able to turn it into anything server-y as my isp has 1 ip for _everyone_ on each tower, so no incoming connections. Click to expand... Tower? You mean on each wir…

Looking at the Mac drive pinouts I just Googled there's a pin labeled "PWM" which says "Motor speed control". If you can find documentation as exactly what sort of signal is presen…

Floppy disks are like record players Click to expand... No they aren't. Floppy diskettes are like records. Floppy diskette drives are like record players. Also they aren'…

For those interested my notes so far. I think I am going to go buy a printer, because I hate reading on the computer. Can't scribble notes on the pages that way. :-D Click to e…

good selection of notes! and I use arduino quite a bit, the programing of it is pretty easy, you should have little issue picking it up (ps if you have any questions and the ardui…
