Re: Which Mac would be a bridge between a Mac512k and OSX for floppy disk data transfer purposes?

Nope. The Pismo VST floppy drive does not support 400K or 800K formats. Only 1.44MB. The Wallstreet was the last PB to support the Superdrive floppy disk. The first generation G3's were the last Macs to support the Superdrive at all. The 5300 was a good machine for the Superdrive compatibility. A

You're right - having a non-working 168-pin right in front of my nose at this very moment, I should have known. I didn't transplant 72pins for quite a while, a have a drawer filled with 30pins, 72's and 168's of 8, 16, 32 and 64MB. >As for the PM 4400 to 5400, don't worry about that, they are 1

I use a double-sided 32MB EDO stick in my 575 mobo which is in my Color Classic... and they don't work in my Quadra 840AV. I think single-sided RAM tends to work in the 68K macs, higher up in the Power Macintosh (like the 8100) area double-sided/double bank works all right. Also, generally 32/64MB

Be careful about their speed, there are various Mac hardware systems running at 70ns (nanoseconds) or 80ns. A RAM for a 4400 does not work in a 5400, for example. It only smells strange and you'll wish you've never done it. Lars >> On 11/6/09 10:18 PM, "Christian Wacker" wrote: >> >>> I just

Just sifting through it, I've got some monstrous 8MB slices, and some 32mb, and 64mb ones. I might even have a pair of 128mb ones, but that might be pushing it. Some of this junk the kid gave me was pretty old, but I saw the ram, and got to thinking about upgrading my Macs... except for the fact t
