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…

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…

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 …

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.

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…

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…

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…

Alright, thanks! I doubted it, but I was just curious.

Nope. Most likely given it is labeled "SuperDrive" it was merely a computer Apple used internally, probably on a secretary's desk. The SE FDHD came first and except for the label c…

I spotted a Apple property tag on this Macintosh SE SuperDrive. Link (last photo in the auction) Would this necessarily mean that it was a late stage testing prototype perhaps? T…

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…

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…

I have heard that later Powerbooks, into the early G4 series even, used ADB internally for the trackpad. What would be involved in hooking into that, I have no idea. Click to e…

The first Apple PowerBook with SCSI Disk Mode would have have to have been the PowerBook 160, 165, 165c, 180 or 180c - I can confirm that the PowerBook 140 and 170 definitely do no…

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.

whereas older lappys, such as say, my 1400 have, well, a much more civilised size trackpad. Click to expand... Substitute "barely housebroken" for "civilized" and you'll . . …

As much as I hate inkjet printers (its ok, the plotter makes up for that ), it sounds like quite a setup. Speaking of trackballs, as much as I used to like putridpads a few ye…
