PowerBooks w/ADB & USB . . . — #2

There were no PowerBooks made that had both ADB and USB from the factory (the only Mac that can claim that honour is the Blue and White G3). However, you can add a USB CardBus card…

How to put space bar on Apple IIe — #3

Questions about disk drives — #16

Thanks, for some reason I thought the only way to get SCSI in an apple IIx computer was to build one or to get one built. I'd love to get one for my IIGS So I can use my HD20SC wit…

I have an Apple Rev C SCSI card in one of my IIgs systems and it is fast enough for GS/0S use. What I like about it is if I feel like just booting from a floppy to play a game I do…

Questions about disk drives — #6

The HD20 definitely won't work on a IIgs. There were only a few macs that it'd work on. Support for it had to be in ROM and unfortunately they never did that for the Apple II line.…
