I had this exact problem not but a month ago. Something about this particular iMac i guess. Nothing I did worked. I tried every trick I could find: booting from various install …

Sawtooth RAM Question — #4
Compatible 512 MB modules must have a total of 16 chips, 8 on each side.
Sawtooth RAM Question — #3
Apologies ahead of time for my ignorance on the details of which models are affected by what I'm about to say, but...
... isn't there some issue with some PPC Macs not liking the …
Sawtooth RAM Question — #2
Could it be an issue with the CAS latency of the RAM? I know some Macs from that generation are rather fussy, and prefer 2-2-2 RAM.
Sawtooth RAM Question — #1
So I've got my 450MHz AGP Sawtooth running.
However it is only recognizing 1GB of RAM.
According to LEM and everymac.com it will accept 2GB.
I have a 512MB and 3 256MB cards ins…
Possible? Mount FD through Parlallel Port? — #9
I was afraid the speed might be an issue.
Active matrix power consumption — #3
just the basics of the 2 technologies suggest that an active matrix would use more power, but that doesnt mean that they didnt find a way around that
(and according to the post ab…

Further digging in the "PowerBook" sections of my ever-useful old copies of The Macintosh Bible and Macintosh and Power Macintosh Secrets has revealed that the commentators du jour…

I had no idea the transfer rates were so high

IBM PC's, even with an 8088 (wow!) used a DMA controller for floppy disk because of the data rates. You could j…
Possible? Mount FD through Parlallel Port? — #7
IWM in the Macintosh is similar but not identical to the Apple ][ controller. There's a / device out there that emulates a physical floppy drive and works with the Apple ][ / calle…
New Post Search, NO LOUNGE results — #4
Incidentally, you can make your own view new posts URL that excludes other parts of the forum (or, more properly speaking, only includes certain parts of the forum) by mucking arou…

That can be simplified a bit by enabling the sub-forum search option (&sc=1) since phpBB doesn't distinguish between forums and categories – so the forums listed on the ind…

This seems to work, the major drawback being that changes to the forum may break it.

Possible? Mount FD through Parlallel Port? — #6
This is probably a "doable" project, but it's going to involve at least some hardware. (IE, I don't think you'll be able to get away with just a cable linking bare pins on the para…
Active matrix power consumption — #1
Do the greyscale active matrix screens in the PowerBook 1xx series consume significantly more power than the passive matrix displays? I know that the early colour LCDs would quickl…
Possible? Mount FD through Parlallel Port? — #5
You could do a really crude approach where you actually format the "disk" using the Macintosh and simply record the output signal at a suitable resolution, it's still a digital sig…
Possible? Mount FD through Parlallel Port? — #4
Perhaps a combination of a parallel port and a soundcard for the analogue waveform. Sounds horrendous, but it would be a good stepping stone on the way to a microcontroller based …
Possible? Mount FD through Parlallel Port? — #3
A floppy port is expecting to talk to spinning media with sectors and tracks and critical signalling and timing.
It's expecting to receive a waveform taken directly from the read …

Try looking up information on the Apple II disk controller, then find out what the differences between that and a Mac are. If I recall correctly, they are quite similar.
Possible? Mount FD through Parlallel Port? — #1
The idea was that I could write a program to run on my box that takes a mac disk image, and serves it to a real mac via the parallel port through the mac's floppy port. This would…
AppleVision 1710AV Display — #2
Great score, the AppleVision 1710AV is a fine display, I've had one for about 6 years, and its probably my favourite CRT, though mine only works properly at high resolutions (1024x…
AppleVision 1710AV Display — #1
This AppleVision 1710AV display was intercepted at the local recycler for $10, and it's a real survivor. It has minimal discoloration, a near perfect screen, and it even had the o…
iMac G4 Flat Panel Won't Recognize Drives — #8
Using the "set-defaults" command with resets seemed to bring the FireWire back on a 12" G4 867 MHz for me. It was having a similar problem recognizing drives at the volume select …

I think it was boot-usb? I was actually talking about it to a friend saturday night, he couldn't remember the exact command but he remember his issue well. Two iBook G4s, one coul…
