Hi I need an external floppy drive for my G4 for the pro audio apps I am running under OS 9 as well as for transferring samples to and from my samplers. I...
looks like a standard PC type floppy in a USB carrier. Most of those will run fine right off the USB port without a power supply. The USB supplies 5 volts,...
I just look at my USB VST Floppy drive, it does not have the optional ac adapter so it must run of the usb port. It is made my Teac and the POWER requirement...
I found a 5volt, and that appears to be working. Thanks guys! I can finally use this software which needed a floppy activation diskette! lol TJ ... optional ...
By the way, if you use the floppy in Tiger (at least my TEAC vst) , no driver or anything is needed, but you must use HD floppies or high density ( Look for...
OOOPS! sorry kids, the power plug on the back of the floppy is 5 volt (red) 12 volt (yellow) grounds are black. Usually pins out +5v_G_G_+12v The VST is...
Then the power source he is looking for must have a least three contacts. He could pull on out a some external drive housing or put the whole deal is one if...
Yeah... had an old Mac II FX I think it was with a huge! 350MB full height 5 3/4 in drive WOW! The lights would dim when we fired that pup up... I think it...
All hard drive have these new age magnets (Neo something or the other). The are very powerfull in 3,5 drives but I opened a up a 9 gig double height 5.5 inch...
I assume it is out of business for getting the specs. Try typing the defunct url for the drive at this web page search box (webarchive.org). By the way, if...
Used to have one of those Radio Shack power adapters, the one size fits all kind with a multi headed hydra end on it, and a voltage slider, and a polarity...
I just read a post at science and repair newsgroup where this guy had a multi adapter for his few laptop that took different voltages. Well one day he juiced a...
Don't know if this is the place to post this, but the link at http://macdrivermuseum.net/links.shtml for "The Mac SE Support Pages" is out of date. It should...
Hi Yes, it won't work just off the usb port alone...sadly. This is a G4 Gigabit tower not a laptop and the uDrive is not a VST drive for sure. I actually wrote...
OK kids...do not try this at home... Really, the ground pin will always be negative, so get your VOM out, (you have one of those right?) and test the ohms...
The majority of USB floppy drives are PC high-density drives and mainly support the 1.44mb disk, although by nature some (many?) also support the 720k format...
There was a program that let a PC with a high density 1.44 drive read Mac floppies from the 400K and 800K drives. Won't help on a Mac with a 1.44 drive though,...
I was under the impression that the PC options to read mac disks involved a replacement drive controller as well, there was one called a catweasel, I believe ...
Yeah, I still have an old Options board around here somewhere. It was designed for the XT/AT bus, and allowed you to read Mac floppies. The software was...
Yeah, MS made their own "special" format by increasing the density of the tracks just slightly. I think there was a 1.6 and 1.8mb version. Of course, those...
Geese, who would put five years of worth eggs in one basket, certainly not some dirt farmer. But what was this person thinking, 5 years worth of work on one...
When you mentioned ebay, I got a idea. Find your drive on ebay and the seller for the specs on the drive and power adapter. Now how you do it should not be...
I've been informed that the hard drive that the old AMUG (Arizona Macintosh Users Group) FTP site at ftp://ftp.amug.org/ was hosted from, unfortunately crashed...
... I'm guessing that means they had no backup?!? If they had a backup, and just don't want to put the FTP server back online, I'm sure one (or more) of us...
Hi there, I've just joined the forum so please forgive stupid questions etc. I have been running System 7.5.5 under emualtion on my 68060 Amiga using an...
you are emulating a mac, mac generic drivers won't work. Find a driver for the emulator to see the cdrom, then it will work. I did that with windows with the...
