Re: 800k discs
From an article I wrote a while back: As there are so many USB 1.x-compatible products currently coming out that it's hard to keep track, I will mention just a few: 1) While there were complaints about the original version, the final version of the Imation (http://www.imation.com/) SuperDisk USB 2x External Floppy Drive (http://www.superdisk.com/) currently appears to be the most popular of the external USB Floppy Drives; The SuperDisk drive supports Mac OS 1.4 Floppy Disks, RLL encoding for only the SuperDisk media, and MFM encoding for 1.44 and 720 (IBM format) media. It can also read 1.68 MB DMF or Distribution Media Format floppy disks (Microsoft uses DMF 2048 for the floppy versions of some of their softwares), and both 1.2 MB (3 1/2 inch) Japanese formats. Imation has stated that they have worked on resolving some of the previous issues complained about, including the problems with Multi-Floppy installs. Imation may discontinue the SuperDisk Drive; See: http://www.maccentral.com/news/0011/28.imation.shtml. There are two SuperDisk limitations that prospective buyers should be aware of: a) Since the entire Computer Industry (all Platforms) has not been willing to establish a Standard, currently not all types of Personal Computer on any Platform can boot off of any external USB Peripheral (except on the newer machines from APPLE); b) Since the The SuperDisk drive does not have a Floppy Disk Controller built into the drive (Imation says that it uses an IDE/ATAPI drive with a USB interface adapter connected to it), it cannot read the old Mac OS 400 and 800 KB Floppy Format. Imation states that the old Mac OS 400 and 800 KB Floppy Disks use what is called GCR data encoding (Group Code Recording; a particular code of the RLL or Run Length Limited data encoding method often used on data cartridge drives. The code combines high data density with relative ease of decoding). So, GCR encodes the data so 4 bits of data become 5 bits on the disk. Imation also stated that this was: Less efficient than MFM (aka Modified Frequency Modulation) data encoding, but GCR had much more decode margin... (Some experts would disagree that MFM is more efficient than GCR). In addition, the old Mac OS 400 and 800 KB Floppy Format is recorded on the disk in four zones, and these zones sometimes required the disk to be spun at different speeds to compensate for frequency differences. The old APPLE internal SuperDrive Floppy Disk Drives had a modified Floppy Disk Controller that varied the motor speed to stuff more data onto the disks. ADVICE: Keep your older machines; If your model(s) support it, run Mac OS 7.1 with Update 3, for mounting 400 KB Mac Floppy Disks. Run Mac OS 7.5.5, or 7.6.1 on them, if you have problems mounting older 800 KB Floppy Disks under Mac OS 8, 9, or X. With the older machiness' APPLE SuperDrive Floppy Disk Drives around, you can also tranfer files via Ethernet, or on to an Iomega Zip Disk, etc., if you own lots of older programs that have to be installed off 400 and 800 KB Floppy Disks (besides, if they are Power Macintoshes, most of them can be good Servers using MkLinux or LinuxPPC, if you desire). While I understand the desire to eventually cease using Floppy Drives, is a pity that APPLE didn't choose to make the APPLE SuperDrive Floppy Disk Drives available as an customer option in the form of external USB and SCSI models, so that the phase-out of Floppy Drives was a gradual thing, rather than a sudden jolt. -- Compact Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/.

actually using my SE/30
I've a number of compact Macs, one of which I'm giving away next week, the others of which I'll either keep stacked up as the legs of a very strange end table, or else use in various capacities, or sell (if anyone wants any). The coolest of the lot is an SE/30 with an odd exterior video cable coming out the back, and with Ethernet out the back. I like this one. In fact, I'd like to use it on my system. I have a still-unused ADB/video switcher (Inmac). I suppose I could not attach any video cable to the box, and use my current two-monitor system on my main system (an upgraded hybrid powermac) along with the SE/30; that is, ADB switching with no video switching. (I don't have a monitor that works with this external video cable, however... I'd just use the thing without a second monitor.) Does this seem likely to work? Right now the SE/30 runs a version of OS 7. Should I try to install System 6.0.8? I've never networked System 6 with System 7 machines, but System 6 Heaven suggests downloading some networking software; I guess it all must work. (My first networking experience was with TOPS. From there, AppleTalk's LocalTalk, then Ethernet. I'd be using an Ethernet system, with hub.) Any thoughts? My memory of System 6 is that it was a lot clunkier than System 7. But faster? I remember the annoyance of the Font/DA Mover, and many other pre-7 OS tools. I didn't like them. But the Pickle and others keep promoting 6, so I guess I may experiment. I got these old machines from a school, and OS 7.0 and OS 7.1 were installed on them all - at least, all that work. These old machines had some nice school software, all of which I destroyed, and then Claris, SuperPaint, and a few other nice little programs. Would Clarisworks work in System 6? SuperPaint? Hypercard? (How late a version of Hypercard?) Sorry for the huge lot of questions. But questions about these old machines I've lots of, as with the machines themselves.

Mac Plus Hard Drive Flashes
Good Morning Mac Friends: I have a Mac Plus with external hard drive, (it says on the bottom, Hard Disk 20 SC, Model No. M2603). It was working fine until a couple of months ago, but now the Mac does not recognize or realize that it has a hard drive. When I turn it on, the little red light on the front flashes 3 slow times, then four fast times, (I think it's four as it's so fast it's hard to count). That's all it does now is flash. What do I need to do to fix this hard drive? Please keep in mind I know very little about computers but I really want to learn. I have read in the FAQ section to check the terminator. I checked that and it seems to be on securely. I don't have any programs or fix it disks. The only thing I have is Write Now 1.0. One more thing, I did take the top off the hard drive, thinking it might be dusty inside, it was very clean. So, where do I go from here?

No, but there's likely a problem with one or both floppy drives. Try cleaning them and see if that helps anything. Directions are in the FAQ. An alignment problem also results in unreadable. You might try a different floppydrive if cleaning this one doesn't do the trick.

So . . . as Martin Luther would say: What does this mean? Those Miniscribe drives were notorious for dying from stiction. What's stiction, you ask? A combination of the words sticky and friction, it's the phenomenon that occurs when the bearings in a hard drive seize up. The drive can occasionally be resurrected by holding it in one hand whilst applying a very sharp blow to the edge of the drive with the other (do this over a bed or pillow in case you drop the drive). This can sometimes break the stuck platters loose, allowing the drive to spin up and allowing you to recover any data on the drive. Once spun up, the drive should *NOT* be allowed to spin back down again, because you run the very real risk that once it spins down, it has spun its last. The drive should be replaced as soon as possible.
