So if everything else on my machine is functioning as it should be, can I conclude that the floppy drive has indeed pooped the bed?

Well, I have 8MB and a 120MB HD, so I am not so restricted. I do like the machine. The screen is a thing of beauty (especially in a well lit area with the backlight off), and a fa…

Because there is no PowerPC code in Snow Leopard? (well, not much anyway...while there's still some Universal stuff, none of the core OS code is PPC anymore) Click to expand.…

Thanks for the advice. No disk works in it at all, the drive doesn't even try to read it when I pop one in. I'm thinking that it is either fried or there is a weird problem relati…

I was there yesterday and two weeks ago (visited my bro)! Last time, I got a IIci but decided against the IIsi and the LCIII, glad they went to good homes. When I was there Yesterd…

Yeah, taking it apart doesn't seem too bad. I'm a ACMT, so i've got access to the service manual and its been very helpful. I will ask you this, I've gotten very close to gettin…

Assuming your drive needs a good clean, this is the best way to do it: 1) Remove floppy drive from the computer. 2) Remove the cover. 3) Use a can of compressed air, making sure…
