I'm going to talk to the other mods, they may hold a different opinion...but I just find it quite suspicious that a member signs up, and has a link in his signature to a business l…

Never happened before, never had any complaints? Yeah it's not often a new (and deleted) user has a friend on the forum to bring it to your attention....if it was me and I got dele…

I reckon you guys (moderators) are just a little bit over zealous in cleaning up this forum. When it's getting to the point that a friend has to post question on behalf of another …

I bet it was another one of those "inteligent" spammers that reads other posts and assembals a post based on them,m and it had just read the Snow Leopard thread before spamming.

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. Click to expand... I…

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…

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…

WOW!!! 8-o That's cool - Newton Bic. Nice find!

You can adjust the adapter to work with different resolutions.

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…

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…

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…

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…

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 …

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 …

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 …

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…

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…

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…
