After all these years I find myself printing more and more on on the old reliable, ImageWriter II via zip disks to my LC III. I don't have to worry about buying more ribbons for years and have a good supply of tractor feed paper that will last me forever. For school, I have to make copies of...

Will this put any added stress on the power supply, probably huh? At least during the start up of the drive? And does it make it any faster or is the SCSI bus only able to read a certain speed?

Well the hard drive came yesterday, the one I ordered off ebay. It was a 4.3gb Segate Hawk. I don't know if the guy knew it was a 1.6" height drive or just didn't care. The drive is in great condition either way and decided instead of sending it back, I'd see if I could make it work. The...

I think I am running into this same issue. I just formatted my 4.5gb SCSI HDD and tried to partition it to two 2gb partitions. The same problem, set disk one to be the bootable and automount but it didn't help. I am not to familiar with the old OS partition software and have had to reformat...

The problem is they arn't showing up only the 2gb partition is showing up after it was initialized. (Or should I say mounting to the desktop) But yea I will do them all at the same time so I don't loose files and all that malarkey. What is this AU/X Slice?

Ok so the formatting is over now its time to partition. I just ran into a little bit of trouble. Once it finished formatting I used Apple HS SC to partition the drive. I had a 2gb partition showing and the rest was free space. Do I use the custom button and make the other 2gb partition using...

I found a post that had a link to Lido. I'm sitting here waiting for it to format now. I'll Keep you guys posted! :) P.S. How long should I give it? It is probably going to take a while huh because it is a big drive?

I have been searching for one of these installers but can't seems to find anything, nor the hacked apple installer. If anyone has one of the installers and could email it to me my email is bikeman1010@gmail.com or provide a possible link. I really need to get this hard drive up and running...

Yea, I have the 7.5.3 Install on a bootable Zip drive and the 7.5.5 update. It has the disk tools, which I was using but it kept telling me when I used Apple HD SC or what ever that it can't find a proper SCSI disk. The HDD is probably formatted for a PC and probably does not have the ROM you...

That's What I have, a USB Zip drive on the G4. That pretty sums it up, with zips as cheap as they are, the setup I have now is fine... Apple IIe card I see in the near future!

I have a Seagate Hawk 4.3 gb SCSI hard drive that I would like to try to use in my LC III running 7.5.5 I was wondering if there is a way that I can format the hard drive from the LC III to get it to work seeing as I don't have any other SCSI based computers. Right now it won't recognize the...

Hmm, I will probably get both ::) But here is the thing... Right now for file transfer I am able to do 100mbs at a time. Since my macbook is my main computer but is running os10.6 I put the files on to a thumb drive, run downstairs, wake my g4 (running Tiger) that's in the garage from its...

I know this will be mostly a matter of opinion but what do you think will get more use, a Ethernet card or the Apple IIe card? I really can't decide which to hunt for. I have a LCIII maxed out with the 36mb and 768k vram and on the way is a Seagate Hawk 4GB HDD, also my zip 100mb is hooked up...

Sounds good, I will get my ammeter out and report back. Which color wire am I looking to get the reading off of because I can't seem to get any reading off the yellow 12v. Any good places to get 50 pin SCSI drives besides the obvious, ebay? Also Sizes that I should look for... I heard I would...
