Sigh... I'm afriad this is a project beyond my comfort zone at this point...

Yeah, I don't like this new limit, my sig is about 270 characters and it's already quite compact, what happens when I want to add a machine to the list? :disapprove: Click to …

Well, you could always shorten it - I think a lot of us would appreciate that.. You could also get rid of that freakin' spinning avatar....

Hmmm... I guess my sig is never to be changed again... (

So no Macintosh programmers recognize the irony? Code: Str255

Must have changed with the 3.0.6 update. However, 255 characters seems more than enough to me. Not sure why it was ever 500. Anyway, not my place to change it now [)] ]'>

Yeah, it's a change that came with PHPBB3.5 (or whatever it is.) I had to redo my Sig.

I just noticed that the max size changed from 500 chars to 255 chars. Why? (That'd be unconvienient if i go to edit it as my sig has exactly 500chars in it!) What was wrong with 5…

I have this board that I'd like to put in the IIsi (currently, there's an Xceed Color30HR, and I feel I'm wasting a perfectly good SE/30 grayscale-capable card on the IIsi). Now, …

Well good news and bad news. I decided to take a look at the Developer Note for the LCIII and it states this. The Macintosh LC III uses a new floppy disk controller circuit,…

There is the early 800K 3.5" drive for the Apple II which has its own 6502, buffer RAM, and IWM chip inside and which talks to the host like a HD20. There is the 400K Sony drive in…

Note that if you're ever tempted to replace that hard drive with a Compact Flash card, it's not as easy as it should be.

I wonder if I still have that. Click to expand... While searching for it, please also remember to keep an eye out for your MacDraw schematics.

Just to make things interesting, Apple has a bunch of different floppy drives with different software interfaces which all plug into the floppy port / IWM / SWIM / IBM chips. There…

Well about the time I pulled out the soldering iron I realized something. If I want to understand how the drive works it would be much better to spy on it while the Mac is using it…

As it turns out, the hard drive was not the problem. The System 7.6 CD was. That is why I kept getting random freezes. I got the PowerBook 150 Enabler from Apple's website, loaded…

I did some research and found that the SWIM and pretty close to the IWM. I took a look at the Linux Mac floppy driver code and apparently a command is sent to the drive it switch i…

Yep, all PowerBook floppy drives have doors. The reason as to why the eject hole is in a different place on yours is that the PowerBook 150 uses a manual inject floppy drive, same …

What do you think of the screen? I have read much derision being poured on the PB150 screen, but this, I suspect, is based on the specs:year of manufacture ratio rather than what i…

There's a product called Chip Quik which is supposed to make this type of work easier. You paint it onto the joints you want to desolder and it lowers the melting point of the sol…

Nice score! The PB150's are cool machines. I hope your 4GB drive will work for you.

Good to hear that its got a RAM upgrade - the main thing like I said, is that it has the right angle adaptor, which allows you to use Duo RAM. That 4GB hard drive *should* work - I…
