An individual who used to be a GCC HyperDrive dealer in the 80's contacted me recently and we've had a long discussion about our respective units. He inspired me to take shoot add…
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.
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…

Keep in mind that they test sequential. The issue with hard drives over solid state is the latency as it moves from one physical area, having to reposition the head, then wait for…
And the MacBench results are in:
Internal CF drive is nearly twice as fast as CF in PCMCIA adapter (cardbus enabled);
Internal CF drive is overall marginally slower than conventi…

I returned for most of the day to the subject of this thread, and thought I might resurrect the thread itself, having had another go at replacing the hard drive in my 2400c with a …

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.

Like said, I'm just now starting to explore working on computers and what-not so I'm not perfect at this stuff. Thats one of the main reasons I bought this iBook to begin with. I g…

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…

Update:
Well, I finally dug it out of the closet. I decided I was going to tear the sucker apart to see how hard it would be to replace the hard drive if necessary. Pulled up ifix…

I would suggest looking for some of the documents for the Color Classic "Takky" upgrade. Most of the links I have are dead, but I recall seeing a pinout for the motherboard edge co…

Okay I'm making progress...I've gleaned the A/B pinout from here : http://homepage2.nifty.com/frogeye/connector.html
But I've read the CC uses composite sync. Pin 9 on the a/b 40…

Nice one!
I once considered a similar project to a dying Classic, placing a miniITX or laptop board in it, but trying to find a 9" LCD screen* as I didn't have the confidence to p…

Members only? No such thing at MacHut .
MacHut is sleeping (unfriendly voices say dead) since 2009. Get a few files, make a mirror for personal use or to share with the commun…
Does anyone have the pinout info? Or a link to the Apple manual that has it? I've checked every manual i could get my hands on and none go into that level of detail.
I've done th…

On OS X it's "--limit-rate"
Is there any sort of Members-only area here? I may be able to mirror the Mac Hut pages on a small scale from my server.…
