IIRC, if the Zip is formatted and in the drive on boot, you don't need the driver. Just can't hot swap it.

It powers on and the light blinks when I insert a disk. Also if I reboot and a disk is left in the drive, it acts like it's being scanned for a valid system folder. So I am pretty…

Yeah, definately something to look into. For now, I'm just saving the iBook as a rainy day project xx( .

Are you sure the zip drive itself is working?

back in high school the teachers would lock down the computers with those case keys, on a PC you can just grab it with some pliers and turn it, never got enough "alone time" with t…

I have 5 or so,950's and call tell you each is slightly different. I found one key that worked in a unit that didn't have one, but the others use a different cut key. All of mine …

Holy God! The software from MacDriverMuseum does not recognize my Zip Drive. I have an internal VST ZIP 100 in the expansion bay and apparantly I need their software, but the com…

Many years ago - I think it was about ten years ago - I found a Quadra 660av in the trash. It was rusted inside with dirt everywhere. After washing it and getting some of the dust …

It has trouble ejecting a disk, absolutely. So disassembly and lubrication could do the trick.... I must go a-googling on how to do that.

Sometimes they do get sticky and require lube, but usually after sitting unused for years. The symptom is that they won't eject a disk. That doesn't sound like your problem. Sounds…

i agree with Temetka.....don't do it!!!! I have one of these and i love it, this was my first pizza-box mac

If you're really ambitious, you can get Leopard running on a B&W with a G4. Sure, it'd be slow, but there's still a lot of software out there that works fine on 10.5.

Freezing on startup still is most likely an indicator that shows that you need to regrease the CPU. Be careful though.

Bunsen! You rock man! How many beers do I owe you now? I spent hours looking for Iomega software for my 5300. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

put the hdd in my classic II to see whats on the hdd and it booted the CC hdd Click to expand... you installed your hard drive from your Classic II into your Color Classic and …

Woulda gone with 7.6.1 myself on 24MB, but yay. Mac Driver Museum has the Zip and Jaz drivers. NB you'll need SpeedDoubler 8 to go with OS 8. You might instead try turning Virtu…

Don't hurt the 660AV! I've been wanting one of those for years, it seems to me to be the perfect Mac. Congrats on the conquest.

Okay, so I managed to get 8.1 and stuffit installed on the 5300. Now if I could just get my Zip drive to work, then I will be be good to. I have a version of IomegaWare 3.5 but I…

Also if someone could tell me where to get Stuffit for OS 7 OR 8. I would truly appreciate it. There is a version on Macintosh Garden, but every time I download it , it is corrupt…

Well I couldn't leave well enough alone. I have a 4gb jd that I would like touse in this system, mainly because the stock 750mb is noisy. My question is how do I fornat it in OS X…

the white goo is almost always hot melt glue, they use that on larger parts to hold them in place while going down the line (or a tinfoil hat theory that over time has become a fac…

I think the problem is in the power supply. (Keyword: I think. To be extremely, extremely honest, I'm mostly a software guy and don't know much about electronics otherwise... and…

You know what I really, really, really need? The old versions of Iomega software for System 7.6.1 and MacOS 8.1. I can't begin to tell you how much I need this software.

Office 2001 has higher stated requirements but will definitely run on a slow 603e (it runs well enough on my Duo 2300c), but it requires OS 8.1 minimally. I certainly ran it on a 6…

Yep, you're right its the LC575 - no PowerPC Mac can boot into 24 bit mode, meaning that they can't use the IIe card, and neither can the LC/Performa 580 (which runs at the same sp…
