Yet another 2400c problem — #13

I bought a nice 133x Kingston CF card for my WS. 133x is faster than most of the pre-G4 portables can do. It usually maxes the bus on my WS, plus was only $30 something for a 16GB.

Yet another 2400c problem — #12

Well, my solid-state drive is just a bog-standard $20 CF card, so I would not expect to see such blinding results at this end. Still, some of the test results on random reads in pa…

DVD in a Quadra? — #14

By the way... will the Apple CD/DVD Driver from 8.1 support a non-Apple SCSI DVD-ROM drive? For instance, Toshiba M1401, which seems to be easily found and rather unexpensive.

iBook G3 500MHz Questions — #35

It very much sounds to me like a hard disk with bad sectors, a flaky drive PCB, drive cable, or (worst case scenario) onboard IDE controller. The last seems unlikely, as you have n…
