IBM PC's, even with an 8088 (wow!) used a DMA controller for floppy disk because of the data rates. You could j…

Possible? Mount FD through Parlallel Port? — #7
IWM in the Macintosh is similar but not identical to the Apple ][ controller. There's a / device out there that emulates a physical floppy drive and works with the Apple ][ / calle…

Man I wish our goodwill doesnt suck, I asked one day where the computers were, they said downtown, so I called downtown and "the public is not allowed into that area"

While I was out running errands today, I stopped into a Goodwill store that I don't usually visit (it's all the way across town from my usual routine), but this visit paid off with…
Dumb Disk Drive Question — #4
A few years ago I attached 7 DuoDisks to a IIe for fun... that's almost 2 megs of online storage! I think I used ProSel as a program launcher. It really worked quite well.
In need of power supply for newly aquired IIe... — #1
First, the good news. I just got a new Apple IIe for free from a friend! It's got a printer, color monitor, and two disk drives.
Now, the bad. The power supply shorted out within …

Incidentally, you can make your own view new posts URL that excludes other parts of the forum (or, more properly speaking, only includes certain parts of the forum) by mucking arou…
New Post Search, NO LOUNGE results — #3
That can be simplified a bit by enabling the sub-forum search option (&sc=1) since phpBB doesn't distinguish between forums and categories – so the forums listed on the ind…

This seems to work, the major drawback being that changes to the forum may break it.

Possible? Mount FD through Parlallel Port? — #6
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…
Performa 475 ethernet card — #4
BTW, on the back of a NIC I have found some strange symbols.
The questions are:
- What "TLE" means?
- What is the logo in the triangle?
Quadra 700 hard drive caddy usable in a Macintosh IIcx? — #6
Alright, I'm sure that I can use the caddy in a IIcx now. Thanks everybody!
Active matrix power consumption — #1
Do the greyscale active matrix screens in the PowerBook 1xx series consume significantly more power than the passive matrix displays? I know that the early colour LCDs would quickl…
Possible? Mount FD through Parlallel Port? — #5
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…
Possible? Mount FD through Parlallel Port? — #4
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 …
Quadra 700 hard drive caddy usable in a Macintosh IIcx? — #5
Olde-mac-milt usually carries HDD cradles for the IIci/IIcx/Q700, which he groups together. I have one of each of those Macs, and can verify that they use a common (with minor var…

Possible? Mount FD through Parlallel Port? — #3
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.
Possible? Mount FD through Parlallel Port? — #1
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…

AppleVision 1710AV Display — #2
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…
Dumb Disk Drive Question — #2
It's not a dumb question, because an answer requires a basic understanding of how drives are setup on the Apple II. (I'm going to ignore the Apple III, because I know nothing abou…
