I found a new one in an old LC on work. I'll trash the old one. I think it was about to be broken anyway, the head was very loose even before I began to clean it. The new one works…

I'm surprised to hear that alcohol worked -- that's a bit counterintuitive. I've always used WD-40 as a solvent (NOT as a lube here). It works a treat, as the saying goes. Wipe eve…

Yeah, some of the statistics PHPbb3 has are pretty interesting. As an example, I've been here since the start of this iteration of the board, and indeed, as of today I've been on t…

Sony MP-F75W-02G is another one. There are probably other model numbers out there too. AFAIK, the spring in a generic floppy drive is slightly different. And fiddling with such pro…

The head was loose to. So I ironed it, and I fastended the spring. And it looked good and "closed", but it didn't work So I must buy Sony MP-F75W-01G, Sony MP-F75W-11G or Sony …

You won't be able to get that read/write head to come back down again. I know because I accidently did the same to one of my drives. Any Auto-Inject Sony SuperDrive mechanism will …

IT'S ALIVE! IT'S ALIVE! Hehe Yes it works. Got my batteries today and popped them in and it worked The only problem I have now is that my floppydrive seems to be broken …

Only a Mac geek would post THAT much on a board like this. Oh....wait....

I get a feeling it's magnetic based on what was mentioned. I tried the analog board in another Classic with a different hard drive (I've got a non-Apple ProDrive LPS in the Classic…

What kind of interferince?

Checking the supply voltage is certainly a good recommendation. You may discover that the voltages are fine, however. If that's what you find, note that a not-uncommon source of th…

I've noticed occasional screen interference when the hard drive is accessed on a Classic II. The cables are connected securely and I'm assuming the problem is with the analog board…

Just picked this up from Dan Knight yesterday. Paid $15 for it. Included the video cable. Cabinet is pretty yellowed, not nearly the same shade as my Iigs. It's a bass ackward m…

I know this doesn't help you, but I'd just like to add that I get this same problem on my Mac Classic as well.

Why specifically do you need to use ZIPs? Click to expand... Probably in response to a comment I'd made about putting fonts in a more universal format. I, for one, use them on…

OS9 takes a while to boot. is the disk scratched? try copying it and booting from that

I have done three of these 400K drives that were stuck; all of them it was the eject lever mechanisms that were so plugged with old grease they would not move. It took several days…

OK So I have a small problem installing 9. I boot the 9.2.1 CD I have it hangs at the Happy Mac Classic... Help?

Oh, okay, thanks. Well, I'll track down some lubing chemicals and such and I'll give it a go on that floppy drive. JDW recently suggested to me that I upload pics of the drive as…
