I have not had much look with a card yet I have bought 2 of ebay an had to send them back because they did not work one was Nvidia GeForce 6200 DVI 256Mb AGP x2-8 Power Mac G4/G5 a…

Brilliant, Bunsen -- that may very well be true. It is quite possible that these drives would be able to read damaged floppies that are unreadable in ordinary drives. I'll have to …

On the other foot, might they be able to successfully read otherwise departed 1.4MB floppies? What with all their ultra fine headiness.

unlike the 400Mhz Sawtooths, G4 350MHz G4's have no hope of using Dual processors as they were pre-Rev 7 boards (Uni-north 3 instead of Uni-north Rev 7). you need Uni-North 7 in o…

Pretty amazing achievement, I agree. These drives squeeze many more tracks onto the disk by using narrower heads (much like the ones used in hard drives), and laying down a track b…

So like you could make leopard run on a G3? Click to expand... well you can run Leopard on a G3 system that has a G4 upgrade on it, but its not the same as running it on a G3 t…

So like you could make leopard run on a G3?

Installed Mac OS X Leopard. So far i'm pleased with it, it's not a bad operating system on this CPU and Graphics Card. Speed isn't sacrificed too much for the functionality... it's…

I tried those drivers already, but they don't seem to work. ???

I still have the source file for the diagram (OmniGraffle Pro) so I'll make some minor changes later. May make up a wiring diagram for the mains power passthrough connector as well…

You will probably need to use a newer version of the Orinoco drivers with OS 8.6. Version 7.2 of the drivers is available here (at the bottom of the page): http://www.alksoft.com/p…

That guy's diagrams are pointlessly confusing. The one on outofspec is much clearer. But in the end it was someone in IRC who sent us the pinout from the Apple service manual who…

I remade some of the wiring tonight to a much neater design. Still needs to be tied together but it's otherwise working fine. Used a 20 to 24 pin extension cable this time as well.…

Tom: Really? How does that work? :O And is it reliable? :O

And if it's one of the late models (LS-240), it has the interesting ability to squeeze 32MB onto an ordinary 1.44MB floppy disk.

I have an Imation USB floppy drive, for 1.44 MB disks, that I used on an iMac G3 with no problems. It will read, write, and format floppies in either Mac or PC 1.44 format and in …

The imation super disks read and write 1.44MB disks and their 120MB superdisks. Then USB ones have drivers for the Mac. I have a PCMCIA unit that is PC only, plus an internal drive…

Yep, after much headbanging on IRC with iMac600 and others, this was the conclusion we settled on. I have a box of 24V Powerbook supplies with dodgy cases I picked up at auction. …

That's where this next component comes in. Instead a connection of 5vSB, it will use a secondary internal 24v PSU from a PowerBook! The connections of the PowerBook PSU will be con…

Bunsen, I was using 5VSB of my Antec NeoPower 650 Blue for my Digital Audio mobo but eventually after time it started loosing power under extreme load and right after power button …

http://www.outofspec.com/frankenmac/wire.shtml Looking at the link you provided earlier, the two additional pins toward the top of the connector require at least 12v to start up- …

Why? Are you thinking of the +28V line? I had no problem substituting +5VSB (standby) Otherwise, a G4 requires a -lot- less power than a P4
