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.

Really the thing is that I don't have a bloody clue how you make a floppy disk drive work. So I think I need to expand my search to floppy disks in general and then focus on the Ma…

do you have an oscilloscope?

I took a look at Inside Macintosh. It did some useful information, but it mostly described the software interface to the disk controller. I am looking for information on the interf…

So I really have no idea what data and commands the drive expects. So really if I could figure out how any floppy works that would be a good start. Click to expand... Click …

My Q605 running NetBSD does take about 45 seconds to pop out SSH keys. However, it has a 25MHz full '040, so ... Click to expand... Which ssh keys are these? When you first gen…

Yeah I've never interfaced to any sort of storage device before. So I really have no idea what data and commands the drive expects. So really if I could figure out how any floppy …

My goal is a device which is plug compatible with the Apple external 400KB floppy drive. It will store images on some sort of modern storage medium. Click to expand... Thanks f…

This is probably a really good place to start. This device has insufficient memory capacity to replace a Mac drive, but that's just a detail. The unit supports emulating an Apple …

I also had made it so it could boot up without a monitor, keyboard and mouse. I just made an apple script file to start up the programs in order. Then play a sound file to indicate…

If it has a Ethernet card, you could run some server programs on it. I made a LC III into a LAN Mail and DNS server. (Both programs were made by Apple.) You could also make it a…

Well... fight now it is kinda a monitor stand...

I have started work on a project to emulate the floppy drive used in the original Macintosh. My goal is a device which is plug compatible with the Apple external 400KB floppy driv…

I used a Performa 400 (same form factor) as a monitor prop back when I used a CRT. They work great for that sort of thing.

If you could get a fast enough FPU you could run NetBSD on it. Click to expand... You don't even need an FPU. Click to expand... I found mine collapsed in a heap trying to …

You could try out nasty old Mac OS betas!

I allready have a Linux machine!

If you could get a fast enough FPU you could run NetBSD on it.

What to do with my LC III... Right now it's just sitting here, so anyone got any ideas of what I could use it for? It'd be a shame for it to just sit here unused...

Some of these are on my site.
