Well, title says it all: my main floppy unit no longer works
reliably, it stalls when copying files and refuses to format floppies
most of the time. I have a backup unit that works fine, but this one
can still read and eject floppies so it can be no big deal. I would
like to take it apart in o

The RATOC card works well on the CarBus upgraded 2400c, and you can
buy an optional power adapter to supply po

You can find pretty good deals too. I bought them a brand new 2400c
power adapter for only $19 a
Hi there,
Anybody know of a reliable USB-to-serial converter that works with an
Apple Personal LaserWriter LS? The printer works great with a 2400c,
but I would like to hook it up to a new iBook as well.

You cannot use SCSI disk mode on any Duo or 2400c if your internal

computer by partitioning your hard drive into parti
