Aw that sucks! That was such a nice machine!

I think what you are looking for is the Iomega drivers : iodriver-mac-ppc-304.hqx https://iomega-eu-en.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/iomega_eu_en.cfg/php/enduser/cust_alp.php?prod_lvl1=1&a…

I want to use a zip drive with my SE30. Where can I get a suitable Omega driver on a Mac disk? I would need installation instructions as well. Rollie44

Well the weekend just gone I had a proper look over the 7600 G4 and found that in the optional zip drive bay it had a 30 GB IDE hard drive with a SCSI adapter on it! WEIRD.... Any…

The SE's over in the IT department at the moment. The IT systems administrator said it "bought back a lot of memories" so I let them keep it for the night.

There's several different types of recyclers that I've experienced. 1. Non-profit computer recycler. These guys are great. I was there on a Saturday once and they had a U-Haul dri…

So heres the update, i can't initialise the drive using Apples hd sc program. It says the device is still mounted or that i file is in use, even after i drag the hard drive to tras…

I'm willing to bet you have a MiniScribe hard drive. These drives were prone to failure in the first place and seem to be failing at an alarmingly high rate as of late due to age (…

Here is a link to RAM Doubler.

Do you by any chance have a Mac running OSX 10.4 or earlier? By taping over the hole on a 1.44mb disk you should be able to make a fake 800kb disk and put Apple's image on there, t…

Eh, it's frustrating, huh? I volunteered at a computer recycling drive and missed a PowerBook G3 and what appeared to be a excellent condition Thinkpad. Along with other stuff only…

That 80MB hard disk has to be after-market, surely. Maybe their hard disk died and they replaced it with the only SCSI disk they had available.

Hurray, more 15 year old software to look for xx( .

I can verify that once you take RAM Doubler out of the system folder, restart and try to copy it again, it won't work. RAM Doubler requires an installer disk to work, unfortunately…

Last question for now (maybe ) To back up something like ramdoubler do i just got to take the 80kb file in the extentions folder, or is there more of it hiding somewhere?

As far as installing System 7.1 goes, its just like any other Mac, however be aware that you'll need to ensure that if you're running the installer from System 7.1, that the boot d…

via a floppy disk install involving roughly 30 or 40 floppy disks from memory. Click to expand... 8-o :O xx( :lol: :?: 8-o :'( :O LOL Thanks for the tips, i'll try out…

1. In my experience, if you have to use it RAM Doubler is certainly a lot better than Apple Virtual Memory, but at the end of the day, there's no substitute for real RAM. 2. As fa…

As assumed earlier up, it has Ramdoubler. Is it any good, should i hold onto it when i reinstall? Its running 7.6 now and feels pretty good, but i might try 7.1 first, because i fo…

But your question is about formating because it is not that the 6100 has a HD size ceiling, but that either the drive you are using, or the software you are trying to format it wit…

Ah, whoops, my bad. :I

Newer Technologies made a SCSI micro-dock. I've seen them on eBay from time to time.

the warehouse i buy old apple computer gear from sells everything w/o hds (although the imac g3 and emac I bought had HDDs I assumed that was because they are just a bitch to get o…

Gorgonops, I think you have unearthed the most useful information. (And excellent research!) Funny though, that he didn't talk about sensitive information - of course I would have …
