I am 99.99% certain these hacks will only work on a 233Mhz Rev A board. Click to expand... Make that 100% on the floppy drive. Maybe there are further hacks that can be done t…

Yes, I also emailed the company and they said they don't know about Macs, but it needs a capture card of some kind. So now I'm going to have to look for a capture device.

That S-Video port on the back of the Lombard only does output, not input. You'll need either a PCMCIA or USB video capture solution of some sort.

Which reminds me..one of these days I've gotta find a Rev. A iMac somewhere...would be a neat machine to play around with, not to mention that if I keep it original and in good nic…

From what I gather, 8.6 is the minimum that will run on this iMac, and you say it would need less than 8.6. Does that mean there's no way to get this to work?

My B&W gave me fits until I did a firmware update on it. I went from 8.6 to 9.2 to 10.4 http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3841731 The Revision 1 B&a…

Depends on the price really, I love mine and I've managed to pimp it hugely so I'd say yes.

^^digging around it looks like the floppy port will only run on systems below 8.6, if the iMac has had the firmware update applied for OS X then that too could be a factor.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking of. I do hope it's the RAM, will try with some from my G4 later. Fucks me right off too, as I scrounged this last week and there was another where I…

Yep, booted into OS 9 and the drive didn't do much except spin and then stop. I also tried inserting a disk before booting and nothing much happened. You would think it would spi…

^^sounds like a hardware rather then software problem.

I am considering buying a MP 2000 off eBay. Would you guys recommend it?

I assume you're using OS 9 or earlier to try and read the floppy, being as there's no support in OS X

But then, why not just do a clean install of OS 9 and skirt around the problem? Click to expand... Both my 8.6 and 9.2 CDs that boot my 7500 just fine give the same error, as d…

After playing with the drive for a while, I was unable to get it to actually read a disk. It is getting power because it spins for a moment after a disk is inserted, but it seems …

J12: It was actually a common hack back in the day to mount a 20 pin boxed header here and connect a surplus Mac floppy drive to it - worked out cheaper than buying a USB FDD, if y…

I just mounted a connector onto the floppy drive port and tried it. The drive is getting power, it spins when you insert a disk.

There's a prior listing of offending/offensive ATi extensions in the thread: http://68kmla.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=822&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=25…

I've installed OS 9.0 from iMac install media onto a beige G3 and experienced the same problem. The solution was to use the generic 9.0 install CD. You may be able to fix it by twi…

Expansion chassis are very uncommon. At least one company, possibly Magma, advertised one for the SE and Portable, so anything post SE/II was expandable via an external box. Assumi…

Compare the presently-installed extensions with those that would be installed from the OS 9 CD—using TomeViewer to see the latter if you have to do so—in case what you believe to b…

Not really, but you'll have to go a ways below $99 to sell it on ebay vs him selling it on his site. They can be hard to find since most of the 3400cs on ebay these days seem to b…
