But how do you move the arm without taking the cover off (which obviously kills it)?

Hi! I've been trying to find a way to fix my Mac, espescially after TWO large parcels failed to arrive :( , when I remembered this old PC guy that Dad knew. Sure enough he had a SCSI hard disk to spare (it's around 500 MB-woohooo!) and a PCI card to connect it to a PC so I could get data...

Perhaps the failed update caused something to burn out on the card, particularly since it was in use at the time (e.g. an input was reconfigured as an output during a reset procedure, which meant that the input from the hard drive in use caused the pin to burn out or something).

Maybe it's not the flash chip at all? Perhaps there's something else wrong with the card (ESD perhaps)?

He says that the speaker is clicking, not the power supply.

I'm not a great fan of the CCs, but I'm glad to hear that someone has a positive story to share with us! I mean, something other than "Need help with...".

Does the LED always stay on or does it just come on when the disk's being accessed? If the former, I think it would be better if it was the latter.

Yeah, that one doesn't look too bad surprisingly!

Well does it run on DOS? And I didn't know that you got it for windows either!

I'm not a great fan of the power macs, but that's such a beauty!

Use Think C. I use it and a love it. MPW is crap.

Well, I'm not going to do that. But I can't continue until: a) The guy who was going to give me the floppy drives finally gets back to me B) Someone finds the documentation on all the different registers and the interface used between them and the Mac.

I didn't know you could get AfterDark for DOS! Also, how come did you get both? Was it a bundle pack?

So either they're clocking the data at a different rate or they're rapidly switching the "motor on" line to produce the effect of differing spindle speed. But I'm gonna stick to fixed speed! But anyway I need some documentation on this!

Why is this in the Peforma section? Should it not be in either the Development or the Peripherals sections?

It looks like it's in amazing condition! Almost unused.

I'm fully prepared. In fact, I've got just the microcontroller I need. Plus I know it's not going to work with the 400/800k disks. So now where is some documentation on all these registers and control signals involved in the operation of this floppy drive interface?

I understand about registers and stuff; I just don't know why they're called "phase" lines. The reason why I ask is because I want to get a PC floppy drive and link it to the Mac via some custom interfacing circuitry.

Not the SWIM, the ISM (which is another, unrelated, part of the SWIM).

I could only find out about the IWM, not the ISM.
