Ah, he had a link in his signature to an Indian data entry website. That screams spammer to me. Anyway, the post, and all related posts have been removed.

I have a Security panel on my 10.6 System Preferences. It's under the "personal" group and is represented by a picture of a house with what appears to be a safe lock on it. This is…

Apple doesn't provide a control panel called "Security". He probably needs to uninstall or update whatever 3rd party software it's part of.

Yeah, the Cadillac...very neat concept that never quite made it. I wonder if this one actually has the real Newton OS? The only other one I've ever seen photos of had a very barebo…

This question was posted in the software forum in a thread about System 7.0.1. Some have accused Mr. Thomas of being a spammer, although I am under the impression that he is simply…

The DIPs are historical artifacts. Until the early or mid 1990s, most monitors used a fixed frequency. For all intents and purposes, this meant that a monitor ran at particular h…

I couldn't believe this when I saw it. I think the price might be a bit high t…

A DB-15 to VGA adaptor with DIP switches! I'll keep this one in NJ and my other non DIPPED one in NY .
Is there any advantages to having DIPs?
Disk drive woes — #17
OK, it does sound like the drive has a problem. Do you have a cleaning disk? Do you have a working external floppy drive or one you can borrow to test the motherboard interface? Do…
Disk drive woes — #16
It is Macintosh Classic II with an 80 MB HD, 4 MB of RAM and with the Connectix RAM Doubler installed. The hard drive functions just fine and has a fresh install of OS 7.5 on a die…
Disk drive woes — #15
Although the drive may very well need to be cleaned, there hasn't been nearly enough troubleshooting to establish whether a dirty drive is his problem. Indeed, it might be argued t…
Disk drive woes — #14
As I said in my first reply to this thread, I've found that 3-in-1 multipurpose oil or silicone grease work well. WD-40 is not a lubricant, and won't last long at all. White lithiu…
Disk drive woes — #13
I guess we still need more information. What model is your Mac? Is there a (working) hard drive, properly formatted with a valid system installed? If there is no boot volume, then …
Disk drive woes — #12
Haha well thanks.
Yes I assumed WD-40 is not the way to go. The cable is seated just fine and it seems as if everything else is working no problemo.
I use a Roland JV-1010 as my …

Titaniums are a bit of a pain to remove the logic board, at least compared to newer Macs. I helped a friend transplant some guts of one Titanium to another and it took a lot of fid…

I'm using it for live performances with my band and I'm by no means and electronics or computer whiz, just a musician who's interest is sparked by things operating at the brink of …
Disk drive woes — #10
I've had the disk drive out, cleaned it, lubricated it, and it seems to know when there is a disk in the drive because it spits it out upon start up, unless that task is something …
Disk drive woes — #9
I guess I'm used to forums that move a bit faster, I do apologize, I'm just very eager to get this setup working. I'm using it for live performances with my band and I'm by no mean…
Disk drive woes — #8
No disk works in it at all, the drive doesn't even try to read it when I pop one in. I'm thinking that it is either fried or there is a weird problem relating to the logic board ne…
Disk drive woes — #7
So if everything else on my machine is functioning as it should be, can I conclude that the floppy drive has indeed pooped the bed?

7) Use a floppy drive cleaning diskette/kit to clean the read/write heads of the drive. Although this can be done manually with rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab, it is safer to use…
