How would I figure out where a possible short is?
Running a wire directly to the disk might solve the problem, but that's still a hack and not a fix (remember the HD wasn't spinni…
Absolutely impressive! And all for $60...lucky! That 9500/180MP is extremely awesome cuz it's got the older processors...wonder if you can run BeOS or even Rhapsody on that?!

Yes, it's *that* Kurzweil. But he sold the company off almost as soon as it started. Dr. K made a big splash in the 1970s with his products for vision-impaired people. I think it w…
The easiest and fastest solution is to run a wire directly from the yellow wire on the power supply to the yellow wire of the hard drive power connector. This would effectively br…
in the description of my new HDD is written:

I believe you should have no problems using the 68-pin to 50-pin adapter, provided that the SCSI ID on the drive and adapter are set to 0 and SCSI termination is enabled. If you h…

I really can't say if I've noticed it slowing down while in power saving mode. Mine is surprisingly quiet, so I really don't know. I'll have to print a job and see if I can hear …

I never knew that these existed, but sure enough, one came plugged into the LaserWriter I acquired today. It is essentially a 4-port standard RJ45 ethernet hub attached to an AAUI …

It'll do 64MB which is what I've got in mine. Right now mine has 67832 pages printed and MUCH faster than my Select 360. Very nice printer, and very quiet like you said. I still…

I got a working power supply from a dead IIfx and it is giving the proper voltages. Unfortunately I'm still not getting any disk or HD activity. However I took a closer look at t…
