Yeah, those are nice to find when you can. I've found one or two here and there as well.

There's no USB2.0 support under OS 9. I'm not sure of the situation with SATA cards, but a little searching would probably turn up something. Try xlr8yourmac and the apple suppor…

Yeah I've never interfaced to any sort of storage device before. So I really have no idea what data and commands the drive expects. So really if I could figure out how any floppy …

Google gets it wrong. According to their 20 Year Usenet Timeline, the first post mentioning Macintosh and Lisa was made on August, 1982. In fact, the earliest post mentioning Maci…

My goal is a device which is plug compatible with the Apple external 400KB floppy drive. It will store images on some sort of modern storage medium. Click to expand... Thanks f…

This is probably a really good place to start. This device has insufficient memory capacity to replace a Mac drive, but that's just a detail. The unit supports emulating an Apple …

I don't plan to get rid of it anytime soon

They're hard to get rid of anyways.... I've never named any of my computers and I've still got 26 of them laying around here.

Ok, does any one know about this "black screen" problem? or could it just be the sofware? I do know on the g4 Ibooks this problem was dew to the gpu,also how hard is it to open the…

I assumed at the time that any card would do, but when I started hitting all these problems I did some reading around and found a lot of talk about Via chipsets being troublesome. …

I also had made it so it could boot up without a monitor, keyboard and mouse. I just made an apple script file to start up the programs in order. Then play a sound file to indicate…

Just a little tidbit I thought I'd add; be careful naming your machines. Its kind of like naming a pet, in that once you name it you love the thing to pieces and its much harder to…

Sorry, I didn't mean to make it sound like other Macs or Mac clones couldn't accomplish this feat; As ClassicHasClass mentioned, you can indeed bootstrap OF from a floppy, But I pr…

I'll look into all the different SATA whatever adapters / to back up a 16 GB KeyChain Click to expand... That's a USB flash drive? I don't think there are any SATA->US…

Not criticizing, just enquiring. I wondered if they had bumped up the CPU or something.

I have had success with NEC-based USB2 cards. But as others have mentioned they only work at USB2 speeds in MacOS X 10.2.8+. The only exception I have had to a working NEC-based …

My only experience with a USB2 card upgrade was in a PM G4. The only one that could be picked up off-the-shelf was a generic PC one with a Via chip. Turned out to be useless. It wa…

I don't know why you blocked out the Word 5.1 serial number - I reckon we probably all use the same copy by now JB Click to expand... I didn't, that's how it shows up on the…

The innards of that MacPro are gorgeous! I love red PCB's.

If you want newer versions of software (like Safari 4) then you'll need to run 10.4 on it. I don't know about the 466MHz models (they may actually be just fine) Click to expand…

Hi! I have 64 MB(3x?) ram sticks for PM 8500 and processor upgrades 604-233 MHz and G4-400MHz
