yeah, I tried the HD 20, no dice. It just sat there. I booted off the GS/OS system floppy, and ran the advanced disk utility on the system tools 1 disk. It did not even pick it up,…

I have an Apple Rev C SCSI card in one of my IIgs systems and it is fast enough for GS/0S use. What I like about it is if I feel like just booting from a floppy to play a game I do…

I'm curious why it shows in the manual what looks like a HD20SC attached when there was no scsi port on the IIGS. Click to expand... Apple sold the SC20 about that time. A 20m…

you cant use a hd2o. but there was a software startup init that was used for 512k macs to use hfs 800k floppies and hd20s if u could write it for gsos then maybe u could use it. ha…

I'm curious why it shows in the manual what looks like a HD20SC attached when there was no scsi port on the IIGS. Click to expand... Because you could buy a SCSI card from Appl…

It's cropped up a few times on the Apple Discussions from time to time.

Get off all your important data now, and chuck it. You can map out bad sectors but more will come, and within a short time everything will be inaccessible. JB

I'm curious why it shows in the manual what looks like a HD20SC attached when there was no scsi port on the IIGS. { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", …

I never heard of that being possible. Maybe you'll want to go with an external solution.

I heard it's plausible but no one has made software for it.

The wonderful thing about the Apple II Workstation Card is saving desk space. If you need to use Apple II expansion cards, you are probably best off with a real IIe or IIgs and the…

Can you approach it from the server side? Can you add VT emulation config files to your home directory and profile?

I always use a hard disk -- one that is usable but disposable -- for 12V and 5V testing. It is easy to make a test cable (with tapping points to measure voltages) from salvaged wir…

The HD20 definitely won't work on a IIgs. There were only a few macs that it'd work on. Support for it had to be in ROM and unfortunately they never did that for the Apple II line.…

So I can't have 3x 5.25" and 1x 3.5? Click to expand... Nope, the whole system has assumptions about two drives per controller "slot." It just so happens that your slots are v…

ah yes, for some reason, I had a hunch it was 4. So I can't have 3x 5.25" and 1x 3.5? Not a big deal, as I have the right cards. I just need to pull it out of my IIe. I Could try …

You are allowed 4 drives on a IIgs. 2 x 3.5" and 2 x 5.25". The 3.5" have to be connected to the IIgs 1st in the chain (I have the drive manuals from Apple).

The IIgs' smartport allows you to have 2 800K drives (mapped to slot 5) and 2 140K (slot 6)... if you really want another 5.25" drive, you'll need to install a controller card and …

Actually, macdan has a solution that does not involve finding the same hinges (all three displays use different hinges, but the same clutch). All you need to do is pop off the clut…

If calibration doesn't do it, then I'd say the battery's dead. I saw that wit my first gen "BlackBook": one day 85% of full charge capacity, and the next day it shuts off without w…

Sure, go ahead.

Didn't the Quad G5's have the max RAM of 16GB?

Quad G5 sounds so cool...just to say you have it. Nonetheless, an Intel Mac Pro will be on my radar in the next few months. No immediate plans as they are pricey but just gorgeous.…

That was the same case with my iBook. Calibrating did nothing.
