Doing some new tests with the DaynaFILE. I've mentioned before that if you try to format a 5.25 inch floppy in the DaynaFILE as HFS, it will fail. I have found a program called "Disk Charmer" which does some kind of a quick format on disks and allows you to switch back and forth from DOS, HFS...

I’ve been trying, unsuccessfully until now, to connect optical media to the iPhone over USB.  Well, I’ve finally cracked it. Instead of the usual bit with me adding some data to a disk and showing it working with the iPhone, I’ll take a look at three decades worth of retail optical media...

So I wanted to see if I could get a Hardware RAID connected to the iPhone.  I used a RAID 1 in this video. Enjoy!

Flash media is boring!  This is my first time attempting to use magnetic media with the iPod Camera Connector.

Everyone always complains about having to use Apple's dongles and adapters.  I decided to make the most convoluted one I could, and see if the iPod Photo could actually use it.

Which one works better?

This was a blast to make!  I hope everyone enjoys this!

I was curious if my AlphaSmart 3000 would work with an iPhone. I wanted to see not only if the core word processing features would work, but also if I could use the AlphaSmart's "send file" feature as a macro for controlling the iPhone. I put together a little video showing off these...

This has been a long, hard trek.

Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together....mass hysteria!

I wanted to share another app I just wrote. I have been irritated that for years the Disk Utility app in Mac OS X can't format a disk in HFS+ without journaling turned on. This requires about a minimum 9 MB disk, which excludes floppies. You can go to the Terminal and do just HFS+, but that...

Years ago I used to sell a BinHex tool in the Mac App Store called OldHex. I haven't sold any apps in the store for a few years now, but I figured I might as well give OldHex away now to the community. I've recently updated it as a 64-bit app, and you can either drag the files onto the Classic...

Enjoy!

The DaynaFile is a wonderful piece of lost technology for the Macintosh.  It's an enclosure that houses PC floppy disks drives (most importantly, 5.25 inch) and connects them to a Macintosh over SCSI.  I looked for one of these for a long time, and was lucky to find a unit that was in...

A sister video to my recent one with the Bernoulli Drive. https://youtu.be/zJT_lXUPIu0

Feel the Bern!  Bernoulli, that is!  These drives were Iomega’s flagship product for over a decade before the Zip Disk.  Let’s see if Siri and I can get one to work with the iPhone.

This was a real thrill to make!

I wanted to see if the Castlewood ORB SCSI to USB adapter would work with another manufacturer's SCSI device.  What better one to start with than the Iomega Jaz drive? https://youtu.be/QXQWEGX7RYc

Native USB devices are boring. Let's see if we can connect native SCSI devices to an iPhone. First up, the Castlewood ORB Drive! Enjoy! https://youtu.be/IS29bQ4-ffw
