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…

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…
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…
VST 100 zip drive PowerBook 3400c — #6
Ah yes, ye olde Zip drive problem! I too, have a 3400c and 100mb Zip module and indeed it does work fine under OS 8.6 as you mentioned, - perhaps because the Iomega drivers origina…
MacOS 8.6 on "Sawtooth" G4 — #57
Hi All, as one can plainly see, I'm new to this forum, but not new to the mac. Been a beta tester for many years, Virtual Wings Pro, Fly! II, A-10 Attack, Quicken 3, Falcon 4, etc…
VST 100 zip drive PowerBook 3400c — #5
OS 10? Hey this is the 68KMLA
yeah yeah, I know, 3400c is a G3, anyways, Zip drive works like a dream under 8.6 so guess a troubleshooting session with extensions and control p…

Did you try a PRAM reset? That has worked wonders for me on occasion, though admittedly under 10.3 more than 9.2.2.
1200 language — #4
I have never dealt with a MP120 personally, but it does have a socketed ROM, meaning that you can pull it and replace the ROM chip with another from (ideally) a MP120 that had been…

The VST drivers are simply rebadged Iomega drivers which are loaded.
Restarting into my 8.6 partition, see what that does.

Dumb question I know, but you have installed the Zip drivers, right? Also, I've never dealt with one of those VST drives before - do they need special drivers, or do they use the n…
VST 100 zip drive PowerBook 3400c — #1
As per title, grabbed myself a sweet, brand new in box, never opened ZIP drive for my 3400c but it don't seem to work. When I insert a disk it grunts 3 times and then just sits the…

iMac "iMac600" SE... — #9
I'm impressed. Especially on how nice the external case looks. I actually salvaged all the Indigo Blue parts from my old 350Mhz, and I'm thinking about polishing them up a bit. Som…
