Re: CF as a harddrive - important info

Not dead, it's too bad this forum doesn't have a lot more people.

Very nice to know! I use CF cards in many of my machines. They are much cheaper then buying a drive.

Re: Any game developers in here?

I stick to hardware developing, because I like when things move or interact.

Re: Your favorite vintage non-palmtop computer?

Well the iMac G3 is only worth fixing if you seriously plan to use it. It isn't, only nostalgia was calling me to see if I could get it working. It was given too me. You can Buy an Apple II on ebay - but collectors prices are nuts these days - especially considering that these are not really "...

Re: Your favorite vintage non-palmtop computer?

Yea.... When I first turned it on, some of the files would appear then disappear. Sadly the CD-ROM drive is dying and 96% of disc won't read and I don't see the point in paying 30$ for a new CD drive. I do like the look of the Clamshells, but they are horribly slow and expensive. Honestly the Apple ...

Re: Your favorite vintage non-palmtop computer?

They're very loud too. I know it's not too old but my Imac G3 makes a tantrum of clicking and hissing when it powers up. I feel like the disc is going to spin its self too pieces. I opened a 3 platter drive once and powered it up for fun I thought it was going to fragment itself into little pieces :P

You do have a point seeing how old IDE drives for some reason are extremely expensive. Despite being 30+ years old :!:

Re: Your favorite vintage non-palmtop computer?

True, my only question is: when are you going to ever use a 16GB CF card inside a DOS machine. To me it feels a bit like overkill ;)

Re: Your favorite vintage non-palmtop computer?

I don't have any spare parts, I started working with these machines because I found some that where about to be thrown away. Where I live, I rarely find anything older than 1998, but someday if I find some I will definitely try it out. What's so wrong with using and ISA slot? Aren't they their to be...

Re: Your favorite vintage non-palmtop computer?

Here is another that I go back up and running last year.
Tandy 1400 running on two 720KB floppy drives. I've managed to run windows 1.01, it took me a while to figure out how to run it on one diskette. The mouse even works with it too!
