Speaking of dating ImageWriter IIs, I wonder if anyone could help me figure out about how old this one on Craigslist is? I'm trying to find one of the later models but this one doesn't have a date on the model label...

Well, post cleaning I still can't successfully initialize a disk with either drive, but the G3's floppy drive at least stopped thinking every disk was 800k. Both had some dust buildup that I cleared out and I cleaned the heads too but I still can't write a disk...

My beige G3 floppy drive is also acting up, it thinks every disk is a 800k disk. Guess I've got some drive cleaning to do...

I have a 5.25" cleaning disk but not a 3.5", might not be a bad idea to get one.

Wow, what a score!

1.44MB disks. One box were even Mac formatted. But all of them failed to initialize, some with "cannot initialize because the disk is defective!" errors but most just a generic "the disk cannot be initialized" error.

I needed to make floppy disks for one of my 68k Macs so I decided to try using my 9600 to do it. However, despite using 6 disks from 3 different brands, I wasn't able to initialize a disk successfully. I'm hoping it's just dirty. If it is, how do I disassemble it to clean it?

I have a X61 but I don't think it has a GPU...not sure my T61 does either.

I don't see much reason to buy an IceBook when you can get a G4, unless the IceBook is just incredibly cheap or local. I went G4 myself and once I replaced the hard drive I haven't had any problems, though the battery life is starting to tank hard.

Hmm, that's very strange. I installed 10.4 via a 4CD set on mine just fine and installed 10.4.6 on an iBook G4 that demanded 10.4.2 or above from the 10.4.6 DMG.

Is a 7,3 a PCI-X or PCIe G5? Any PCI-X G5 can use Tiger 10.4.0 install disks but a PCIe might require 10.4.2 or higher. In that case, there's a DMG of 10.4.6 out there you can use for installing Tiger.

Would be nice to have one that was, you know, in color. And the PDA itself having a color shell would be neat too.

Yep, looks like I have Palm OS 3.0. Given the fact this thing came complete in box from a thrift store of all places I imagine it wasn't used much.

How do I find out the OS version? And how do I load a new OS? This thing doesn't have an obvious hatches for ROM upgrades...

I just have the one Palm III, but I still haven't found a use for it.

Took almost a month to get back to this but sure enough, I have basically no voltage on the +5, -12, and +12 lines, literally less than a volt. Bad power supply?

I have two non-Platinum Pluses but one is ugly as hell and slightly damaged and the other is a converted 128k that doesn't work.

Oh right, 8.6 had more USB support. I should update to that.

Yeah, I guess the problem all along was the CD-ROM drive. Which is a shame because that CD-ROM drive was a replacement for another SCSI CD-ROM drive that was also bad. This Sony ATA drive is loud as hell but it works every single time and that's all I need.

Maybe? Probably a FireWire/USB combo card. 8.5 supports USB mass storage, right?
