Mac OS 8 on a G4 QuickSilver 2002 — #2

It is just impossible. It's missing drivers and makes wrong assumptions on the hardware. You can try MacOnMac or MOL on Linux, but it will not run nativly.

Mac OS 8 on a G4 QuickSilver 2002 — #1

Hi, I'm new here. I've been looking everywhere on how to be able to do this. I want to be able to run OS 8 on my PPC G4 QuickSilver 2002. I stumbled upon this article, just now, wr…

Imation super disk drive — #11

You need an LS-240 drive to enable 32meg magic. The first-generation (LS-120) superdisk drives will not do this. Plus, you'll need the utilities that shipped with the drives to all…

Imation super disk drive — #10

I think you have that backwards, Bunsen. So 32MB on a floppy huh? Interesting. I have a few LS-120 disks laying around so that wouldn't be an issue. So how does one go about f…

lombard pismo keyboard backlight — #4

Fiber optics with small nicks in the run works pretty well, having everything lead back to a single LED. There was an iBook one done this way that did, as you mention, tie into the…

Imation super disk drive — #8

Brilliant, Bunsen -- that may very well be true. It is quite possible that these drives would be able to read damaged floppies that are unreadable in ordinary drives. I'll have to …

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

Imation super disk drive — #6

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…

Imation super disk drive — #4

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.

Imation super disk drive — #3

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 …

Imation super disk drive — #2

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…

lombard pismo keyboard backlight — #2

There is a hack somewhere on macmod.com. It's for a tiBook I think but it should work for yours too. I think he used Fiber Optic.

Thinking about buying an Apple II — #5

I cannot speak for the video angle, but the only real advantage to the IIe is expansion. If you don't need expansion, you'll probably be happier with a IIc+. Here's why: - The I…

Thinking about buying an Apple II — #4

The IIc+ was only sold in the US so to get it running on your electricity, you would need some sort of external 110 to 220 volt converter. I don't think there is a switch on the ba…

A small update, in that removal of the USB card effected nothing but removal of the USB card, so back in it went for my printer's sake. However, in the frew-ing and toe-ing brough…
