Ah. I see. That sounds like it's not happy. Good luck!

I highly recommend you don't open it up. It spins up, you've already said, and a noise shortly after spinning up is quite normal for older drives like these. Opening it up may permanently ruin it because you'll be introducing dust. Just curious - what does "HHD" stand for? As you've said, SCSI...

We do have choices. Android is complete shit - it's just like Windows environments on a phone. Google app stores blindly accept anything, and privacy controls are horrible. Choose a non-Android, which today means getting an iPhone. More choices would be nice, but we're stuck in a captive market...

Not that I know about. I think the issue isn't about whether we can turn DoH off or on. I think the issue is that once it becomes normal and expected, we (network administrators) lose the ability to protect ourselves from all sorts of things. Trojans will be able to use DNS all they want, and...

I think the problem is more prevalent with larger ceramic chips where people want one type and there's a glut of another. I have two FPU-less LC040s that were reprinted as MC68040s and I have an MC68060 that's really an EC (no FPU, no MMU). Luckily, there are no FPU-less MC68881 or MC68882 ;)

They ostensibly allow whatever based on "free speech". Apparently their idea of "free speech" includes fraud, because they've refused to stop providing services to sites that claim to be, for example, Bank of America. I've been tempted to set up a site claiming to be Cloudflare, then use...

I recently recapped my LC III motherboard and it works wonderfully. I had an extra m68881, but it's only rated at 16 MHz and the LC III is running at 33 MHz, so I decided to buy a faster rated m68882 from eBay for $6. I've gotten lots of fake m68040 and m68060 chips from eBay, so I was a little...

There's no benefit and a few downsides to trying to divide up your disk that way, but it's good to hear you got it running. If you'd prefer a modern OS on the PowerBook 3400, NetBSD can run on it.

To the point of this topic: a Raspberry Pi or PogoPlug or some other low power, always on device can easily be a recursive resolver, and the whole local network can have a default domain that's configured as a zone in the local DNS server, and all hostnames will Just Work® :)

Pi-hole is good, as is simply running BIND, but I have to strongly recommend against DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH). First, who says that Cloudflare is trustworthy? They want us to trust them, but they do a lot of underhanded things. Second, if more individual programs, like Firefox, start using DoH...

I've set up many SSDs, although all were either Toshiba or Samsung, on various models of G4 and G5, without any problems. This is the first I've heard of any problems with booting. Not seeing drives, sure, but I've only ever seen all or nothing - either the drive isn't seen at all, or it's seen...

If a Power Mac G5 can see a drive, then it can boot off of it. There are issues with certain drives that don't properly fall back to 1.5 Gbps, but if you can use CCC to clone, then your drives are working. If your SSDs are larger than the 160 gig drive, then boot off of another drive or DVD...

Many older NuBus / LC ethernet cards work fine with 100 Mbps and gigabit switches with auto negotiation. However, certain cards seem to not want to work. Some have a jumper which causes the link to stay on regardless of the physical connection. Does anyone know how to make these cards work with...

No. QuarkXpress runs fine in any environment. The issue is more one of how to easily integrate it with other workflows. I suppose if I had a little more reason to use it, I'd probably figure out some way to network things better. Basilisk II works wonderfully, for example, but I don't know of...

QuarkXpress, in spite of the company that made it, was a wonderful program back in the day. I own a license of 3.32. It's faster to load and to do literally anything else than Word, even Word 5. Even Xpress version 4 was pretty decent, and there wasn't anything I couldn't make with it. Aldus...

I would love to get an ImageWriter LQ... I have a beat up ImageWriter II that I found in a Dumpster many years ago. The knob is broken, the plastic is cracked, it's rusty as heck, but it still prints beautifully. I wrote drivers to print color graphics and screen shots to an ImageWriter II from...

All SCSI2SD support async modes. I think you're thinking of synchronous modes - the v6 can do sync mode at up to 10 MB/sec. It seems that the Q840av can do sync mode, but only up to 5 MB/sec. SiliconExpress IV seem to only support 10 MB/sec or 20 MB/sec when doing wide synchronous transfers...

Congrats! That's awesome :D

It's really not that hard to  dd if=/dev/rdisk1 bs=256k | gzip -9 > card.dd.gz then send the file over the Internet :)

To be clear, drives larger than 128 gigs are not supported on IDE. SCSI has no such limit. But you can get around that in OS X with the Intech SpeedTools Hi-Cap driver. The first 128 gigs will be seen while booting, and after the kernel loads the Hi-Cap kext, the rest of the drive will be seen...
