    SE/30: Can't boot to desktop - "disk initialization failed because the disk is locked"

    Yes, I would check the Bournes first: check the resistance value of each resistor in the pack vs. the values in the Pina guides.

    No extra square cutout in the corner = 400/800k disk.

    Cloning a PowerBook 100 HD

    Generally they are amenable to USB power, yes. I think this might be the easiest way for him to go rather than a larger setup.

    Cloning a PowerBook 100 HD

    Other option: if you can get an external BlueSCSI or equivalent, and adapter cable for the 100, just mount that on the 100 and use Disk Copy to make an image of the drive onto that.

    Fast! CompactFlash for Macintosh PDS/NuBus

    I'd definitely get one of these. This is crazy!

    Macintosh LC randomly lost color

    Also, if the PRAM battery is not installed, it will default to B&W every time it is turned off.

    SCSI diagnosis: Easiest way to make a read-only boot disk (ZuluSCSI or MacSD)

    Why not start up another machine with some other disk, hook up the MacSD/ZuluSCSI to that machine, and in Mac OS using a utility, make the disk read-only?

    8100 Magnetek PSU - does the fan always run?

    Yes, the 8100 fan normally runs the entire time the system is on.

    Introducing ZuluSCSI Blaster - now with More Cowbell!

    Sorry, I will restate: assuming the Mac in question natively supports HFS, will this be able to mount the emulated devices?

    Introducing ZuluSCSI Blaster - now with More Cowbell!

    So does that mean that Macs can mount the emulated devices on the SD card as native HFS disks?

    Any fun/interesting apps or games to show off Mac OS X 10.1?

    Red Faction will work. I also like Quinn (Tetris clone) if you can find a copy. Many of the Little Wing pinball games will work as well.

    Solid-State Drive Options for PowerBook 1400?

    Any SD card I’ve used in a 1400 loaded things faster than the original HD. If you don’t “trust” them, back up your stuff. What serious work are you doing in a 1400 anyway.

    Solid-State Drive Options for PowerBook 1400?

    Basically anything will work fast enough on a 1400.

    should I kill a black adb mouse II ?

    I just meant if it were a perfect specimen that was preserved with no issues, and one decided to hack it up, that would be a travesty. Since it’s already coming apart, do what you want with it.

    Create MFS partition on a HD

    MFS by nature doesn’t REALLY support folders, since it is not hierarchical in nature. The folders made under an MFS system don’t appear in Open dialog boxes, etc. That may be why it is grayed out.

    should I kill a black adb mouse II ?

    Dude, if it's already crumbling to pieces, I say go with the laser.

    The dual PRAM battery 1400c/166

    The interesting thing is that it isn't touched on in the repair manual either.

    The dual PRAM battery 1400c/166

    Thank you for that! This is a good explanation for what otherwise was a mystery. Now...why do some have it and others not...especially when there is a space for it on the ones that don't have the battery.
