On the other foot, might they be able to successfully read otherwise departed 1.4MB floppies? What with all their ultra fine headiness.

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…

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

Make sure it is not less than 75%. Go for 90% to 99%. Make sure the percentage is listed on the bottle because they will try to sell ya the weak crap if they can. The higher the …

Thank you all for your suggestions. I have removed and reseated the ROM card to no avail. I hadn't thought of the alcohol. I will give that a shot. Is anyone here good with a mult…

A good spraying of freon could be helpful in removing any remaining tomato residue and all the dried up conductive minerals left behind from the water and possible residual toothpa…

It might be worth while paying some attention to the ROM card under the rear cover. Is it seated properly?

make sure it has an internal 6 pin FireWire port, then you know it is a Sawtooth. Oh, and the GBE models have a tall rough silver coloured heatsink on a chip behind the ethernet po…

Thanks ealex79, I just replied to your PM. We are referring to a hybrid system folder that was constructed using Mac OS 8.6 off an iMac restore CD and ROM 2.5.1. I'm certain that…

What I meant by cleaning the whole board was that I used a soft toothbrush with a little water. I did let it dry completely and even used a hair dryer on the low setting to make su…

I think perhaps we need more detail on what you mean by "cleaned the whole board"

Did you get my PM? Did the stuff I sent you work/helped?

Hey fellow Newtonians! I need your help in fixing my eMate! The short of the story... I had it sitting in a chair under my dining room table. I had tomato's sitting on the table, a…

Mike, I have completely dismantled a G3 AIO before. It took me a couple of hours, and is kind of a pain, but it can be done. The nice part is the analog board slides out after yo…

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.

If anyone needs ROM 2.5.1 or an ISO image for an entire G4 system restore CD with Mac OS 8.6, please PM me and I will be happy to provide you with the links. The ISO is about 380M…

Congrats on fixing it, Mike! Capacitors commit suicide more often than do resistors, so you likely have truly fixed the problem, and can look forward to it working for a good long …

For a long time Apple would replace or repair those failed B&W CRTs. A 2-3 years back a friend of mine called about it, as he had read something on Apple Discussions or in …
