    Killed an MDD logic board

    The card isn't anything, it runs at multiples of the logic boards bus speed. It should have a 7.5 multiplier for a 133MHz bus When you put it into a 167 bus it's running too fast If you change the cards multiplier to 6 then it'll run at 1GHz on a 167 bus That way you keep the higher bus speed...

    Killed an MDD logic board

    I'd probably leave the bus speed and change the multipliers on the card so it runs at 1ghz on a 167bus

    5.25 Drive in Powermac

    Macs never used 5.25” floppy drives. There was an Apple PC 5.25” drive but I believe it needed a NuBus card. There is a USB adapter for 5.25” drives but it’s read only and you’d need to run OSX or linux. If you can even find one the Dynafile SCSI 5.25” drive might work or not. I have one but I...

    I have Rev 4 IIs and II Pluses. Even have a Rev 7 II. The original owner gave me the Rev 7 and he said he'd never had any repairs done on it.

    RAID windows MacOS

    I’ve had a MacOS issue for a while. I use a number of Lacie and Promise drives with software RAID. With any OS later than 10.10, when I restart the Mac all the windows on those drives are closed. Single drives are fine. I’ve been wanting to upgrade the OS because there’s new video codecs coming...

    I’ve used the Sonnet SATA cards quite a bit but they’re a bit hard to find. There are some flashed cards on ebay but I have no experience with them

    What can cause an external superdrive to fail?

    I use superdrives quite a bit and have only had 3 issues. Dirty heads, dried lubricant and dead eject motor. In one case the dried lubricant let the disk go in but the heads weren't making god contact with the disk.

    What can cause an external superdrive to fail?

    I’ve original superdrives and upgraded 800k drives. The only differences are LED colour and an extra metal shield. I happily use them interchangeably. Other than insufficient cleaning then my next thought is dried up lubricant not letting the disk go 100% of the way in.

    Quick Question: would this work in a Quicksilver?

    One difference is that the Quicksilver has a faster bus speed so unless you solder/unsolder some resistors on ta Quicksilver processor card it’ll run at a lower speed than normal. A 867mhz processor in a AGP will run at 650mhz. Also one of the mounting screws on the Quicksilver supplies 12v. On...

    Label printer issue resolved sort of

    I’ve been printing plastic labels with a Brother label printer and paper labels with a Dymo LabelWriter 450. All was good but then I was looking at the Dymo LabelWriter 450 Duo which had 2 parts to it, one for paper and the other for plastic. I got interested because it’d do graphics on the...
