    Vst Zip 100 drive for G3

    Iomega driver should be enough. JR

    For those that need USB 2.0 in their G4 Tower...

    Based on the specs, I'd say that it should work find under both 9 and X. The tricky one for Mac OS 9 compatibility is that it has to be OHCI compatible for USB 1.1 (not UHCI), although later versions of X do support UHCI cards. I found that one out the hard way with the Via-based card in my...

    Recommended PCI cards for an MDD

    That's probably the best price/performance choice. It took me forever to find an affordable early USB 250 that would take the FireWire adapter.

    Recommended PCI cards for an MDD

    There was a Zip option for the MDD. It replaced the lower optical door with a fixed panel with cutouts for the Zip opening. That part seems to be pretty rare, though, as I have only seen one on ebay and it was going for something like the price of an MDD power supply.

    The ultimate System 6 box

    I'm pretty sure it was a 386.

    The ultimate System 6 box

    They are the same pinout. The Mac286 will also work with the Apple 5.25" drive. Supposedly, there is also a 3.5" 720K drive from IBM that will work with the Mac286 and Orange 386. I don't know if it works with the Apple card.

    12" PowerBook G4

    After what seems like forever, I am finally the owner of a PowerBook G4 12". It comes to me by way of a business associate who I first met in 2005 and see once or twice a year.The thing is, just about every time I see him he has a different 'Book. Apparently, he upgrades fairly frequently and...

    Replacing Classic II ROMs

    I've only ever seen it once before... on a Plus which had been left on with the vents covered for a long time. It was amazing that the one of the ROMs was the only thing that had failed.

    Software that can read QuickTake 150 files

    I have a chance a liberating a TiBook, but there is a catch... The current owner has a number of images taken with a QuickTake 150 on the drive which would need to be converted to JPEG (or some other modern format) before he'd let it go. So... Any suggestions for a program that could do the...

    LC III - Strange Mod, What do you think?

    Probably not a mod, per se, but an early rev board that had engineering fixes applied at the factory.

    Which to keep? Pismo or Lombard

    Same here... I've got enough disks to last the apocalypse and have installed internal drives in any system that would take one. (Except the MDD as the Zip faceplate is pure unobtainium, so that one has a Firewire Zip250.) I even have a Zip750 and a SuperDisk drive on the system at work; the...

    Which to keep? Pismo or Lombard

    Responding to a bunch of posts... I do have a Lucent card, so wireless for the Lombard isn't an issue. (I could also pull the Airport out of my Sawtoth and put that in the Pismo.) PCMCIA SCSI for the Mac always seemed like a pricey affair, though I do have both the Adaptec and Xircom USB SCSI...

    Which to keep? Pismo or Lombard

    With a little luck, I should be the proud owner of a 12" PowerBook G4 in two weeks. This leaves me with a bit of a quandry. I currently have a Pismo (500mhz/1gb/40gb) which I use for light duty couch surfing, etc. under Tiger. I also have a Lombard (333mhz/512mb/40gb) which I run as a dedicated...

    What are the disadvantages of a Jaz drive as system boot ?

    Maybe, but it seems like certain variants pull a lot more on ebay than you would expect for a "dead" technology. I recently picked up one of the early USB 250s (the one with a separate power adapter) in order to use it with the FW adapter. I don't know how many auctions I watched and bidded on...

    Something to waste a few minutes on in the Terminal

    AppleWorks 4 or 5 should also be good if you can find a TCP/IP tool for comm toolbox. (IIRC, Black Knight has a free one.) JR

    Sony Ericsson GC79 wireless card and Wallstreet

    WEP or WPA? If it's WEP, are you trying to enter the hexadecimal code or the phrase from which it was generated?

    panasonic external SCSI CDROM

    Nice... if anyone is drooling badly enough over this, I picked up a pair (one 8x with speakers) from $WORK a while back and would be open to selling/trading. JR

    Mac Plus

    It sounds like a cold solder joint on the 4(?) pin connector on the analog board. (This is from memory.) The flashing is a typical failure. JR

    Magento-optical disks/drives

    Is that under Classic or X? I've managed to get my MaxOptix hooked up to my MDD; I can see the drive in System Profiler, but not Disk Utility under Leo. JR
