It depends on the driver. most of the drivers for it was made for the intel mac (say what? PCI in an intel mac??) Try the 10.3 drivers if it's there. I might have them so I could send those or put them up on my server. but that should get you started. Let me check my FTP server and send you...

Also known as a 1.8" LIF/ZIF Solid State drive. Uses a Sandisk 1.8" 16GB Solid State drive. Connected to a LIF/ZIF to 44-pin IDE Connector (provides data and power). I routinely max out the internal 16.7MB/s ATA-3 Bus. Doesn't support SMART though. But here's the pics: This is the machine...

If you have a radeon, and do a fresh install of OS 9, they have the drivers built in. That includes all the way up to the 9xxx series. It's even built in for my MDD 1.25Ghz Dual. If you can, go grab one off of eBay. I think you could do a GeForce 6200 flashed on it. But you will have to do...

contrary to what people may think COPY THAT FLOPPY!!! you have no idea when that floppy is going to go bad. Find a way to copy it, and do it quick!

If I were you, I would dual boot 10.3 and OS 9 on it and use it for vintage apps. Maybe turn it into a file server for classic stuff. You can put up to a 120GB HDD (Reasonable if you don't want to absolutely hit the 128GB limit) without going over, but it would be nice. Or put a SCSI card and...

Zapping the PRAM is usually one of the first steps in troubleshooting. You might want to pull the drive and any upgrades. If there is a network card in there, pull that. Try pulling the harddrive and booting from a floppy. If it reboots off the floppy, you might have an issue with capacitors...

Is there an extension/INIT that loads at that time? Possibly in there due to maybe someone installed an upgrade that if it's not presently there, it might force it to reset and load without the extension/INIT plug in. I know some G3 upgrades for the PCI series powermacs did that. It would...

I saw that. Someone out at a company my dad had as a client when he worked at honeywell, someone jammed a pencil through the LCD when they got mad. After pulling it out, the screen worked as usual, except there was this small mark and spider cracks going out from the pencil area. In fact...

I got an RMA. Anyways, it sees the other battery, and can even see this, but only through battery reset. So it knows something is there. My father told me that some batteries use a serial technology called "I2C" to talk with the machine and vice-versa. Being an electrical engineer, he says...

The battery is in good physical conditions, and yes I did clean the contacts on them. There's nothing wrong physically with the battery, but it does put out power, but the power dies very shortly. As far as I can tell, I think the power manager in it is dead or partially working. Might have...

Yeah, I guess I will be sending it back. The battery still holds a charge, and it's getting more time now when I pull the plug, but if that circuitry is shot, there's nothing I can do. I will talk to the guy and tell him I want to return it for an exchange. It was from a company in the USA...

I just got my powerbook G3 Lombard battery in the mail. And I have run into an issue. a *BIG* issue. before I begin, I bought a brand new Powerbook 99 series 6600Mah battery. The battery looks exactly like an apple battery, the lights on the side work, and when i press them, I get 3 out of...

I want to say $50. I spent I think $29.99 on my dual 1.25Ghz MDD G4 (although it had no ram or HDD and was "As-is") from GoodBytes (Goodwill computer recycling center. it's awesome) It was listed As-Is and says "Turns on, doesn't boot" They had a tie-wrap on the door handle, but when I asked...

Trash, LIF is an IDE drive usually intended for small netbooks and notebooks. It uses a small flat ribbon with exposed ends. If you open your netbook, you will see what I mean. It's that little 1" ribbon that goes between your motherboard and the Solid State drive. iPods with hard drives use...

I am scratching the Solid-State drive idea. I just got the adapter, and it doesn't work with my SSD (btw, you should see the specs on that SSD in your NetBook Trash80) and when I ran tests using another adapter, the maximum I got for data transfer was 7MB/s the minimum was 50KB/s So much for...

I seem to recall apple shipped a SCSI to IDE adapter (put IDE drives in a SCSI laptop) in either the 500 series, of the 190 (doubtful) Or was that to use a SCSI drive in an IDE system?

After seeing a SMART error coming up while trying to load data onto the 20GB drive I have in the laptop, I decided to replace the drive. I found a 30GB in my stash, and when I went to format it, it says "Cannot Format - Locked" in Disk Utility... Weird... What happened is the laptop I took it...

I just looked up the specs sheet. It's an IBM Travelstar and the transfer rate (internally, platters) is higher than the interface. Which strikes me odd that apple would not even redesign/use a different IDE Controller.

Now that's just curious (and wrong). The laptop has a 16.6MB/s bus on it, yet the drive they put in runs faster that than. ATA/33 and the internal transfer rate of the drive is up to 20MB/s. Why would Apple put a bus in a system that is slower than the drive, when the ATA/33 Specs were out...

I was gonna say the first drive (Say, DISK 1) will be accessed when the Apple II boots, but the other drives have to be Queried before they will access a disk. I have observed this on my Apple IIe upon booting. You can try popping in an ADT Pro disk and try to format using the second drive. if...
