RI should be unset

Win9x does enough disk writes even without heavy virtual memory load to make it noticeable vs. a decent mechanical. I have some CF cards that are so poor at linear reads they get outpaced by spinning...

Are you talking about 3.5" or 5.25" ? I have a shortage of DD 3.5" myself

Yes. I swear by my 87 that I got used on ebay many years ago

0x300 was a very common default IO port for early SCSI adapters. Try to switch your NIC over to 280

Again, there is a DOS utility to manually invoke trim. I DO care about linear transfer speeds, and every CF card I've tried has been slower than IDE mechanical drives in linear writes

Rudolph Loew wrote a DOS trim utility.

And I've seen this canard about "CF card will saturate no matter what" so many times, it's false and tiresome. I've got personal experience to the contrary....

Can you recommend a specific CF card with good linear read/write performance and trim support?

for a long time those trash HF ones were actually free with a coupon

yeah I was hoping for something a bit more CAD and less WECSOG

You just can't make money doing it anymore. No one is going to pay skilled labor rates approaching $100/hr for component level repair on cheap modern garbage

I love this

I recommend a shareware program called MacDisk for interacting with mac formatted 1.44MB disks on a windows PC. Works on windows 10 too. Of course you can always just use winimage or rawrite or...

Does anyone happen to have a drill template for this kind of DIY bracket?

Eh don't romanticize analog cellular too much. Yeah the audio quality was great when you were well in range but coverage was poor and you'd get crushed by static sometimes

40MB quantum in my mac classic works perfectly

the audio latency of any digital based voice service drives me crazy, I pretty much hate talking on the phone now

(never liked it a whole lot to begin with, but it was tolerable with wire speed...

it's RG for Radio Guide, but you got the 58 right ;)

I'm a mostly hardware guy but many of our most active members are mainly programmers

I think I have some docu for this drive at my office. I will check tomorrow

Is the 63MHz version really more desirable to collectors than the 83MHz variant? I'd happily trade my tested and working 63 for an 83

Clearly the solution is to give it all to me :cool:

Is it even possible to get a true copper loop phone line anymore?

OP is asking whether he can format an HD *disk* as DD, which afaik is a hard no
