I had to test that and your right!! I can't copy 3 or 4 first...oh my God that is annoying quirk.

Wow there's a lot here lol ill try and Answer as you commented lol 1. I had no idea the 3.5 would work with the mac...maybe I was going off the 5.25 wasn't able to...I've seen the smaller mac drive so I assumed they were different. 2. I figured the drive might but didn't know for sure I just assumed it could since the main mechanism was identical. I'm going to assume the swim chip was on the liron (and modern Yellowstone) cards 3. Yea I should have used DD to avoid issues, and j have some but they are older and little dirty ( a couple fouled a drive in my 486 trying to make a 720k floppy of simcity, so I tried hd thinking it would just work as do but then figured out like on a pc the notch needs covered. 4. Thats what I thought too but I took the mech apart and gears intact. I even took the eject part from a 3rd spare drive and same thing...ejection cycled. And yea I was surprised as well. That was a last ditch thing to get this working. It has a quirk now tho...I was reading a stack of unknown apple iigs floppies and 1 of them caused an io error for a while....went away after I had power off for about 2 or 3 minutes. And I can repeat it with that floppy so something odd but the ones I made work so I'm happy

@@definitelycasualpcs8789 The 5.25 will not directly work on a Mac, that is correct, and yes, the signalling on the wires are slightly different. The only way you can connect the 5.25 drive to a Mac is via the Apple IIe card for the LC or Colour Classic I believe. The Liron card and Yellowstone provides Smartport and the equivalent of the IWM, so even if you connected a 1.44MB drive to them, it will only operate as an 800K drive. Also the regular 800K drive for the GS won't work on the IIc but it will work on the IIc Plus. There is a variant of the external 800K drive that looks almost like the GS version but is the same colour as the IIc and has a thinner eject button, and is referred to as a Unidisk 3.5 If the gear on that eject motor was fine, then perhaps there is something wrong with PCB of that 1.44 drive. I've never seen that kind of problem that wasn't caused by a broken gear

@lemonherb1 oh the liron/Yellowstone is iwm not swim? Ah I must've read the site wrong lol And yea I think when I mentioned the c and c+ I was thinking of the unidisk. I know they are pretty pricey units. Yea it was weird. Constant failures and eject cycling. But what was weird is I have a drive with a bad gear and it just spins...this one I could see and hear the mechanicals moving and sliding so idk it was odd to fail that way...it was working just fine until it wasn't

@@definitelycasualpcs8789 Yes they are IWM. Only the Apple II 3.5 Drive Controller Card has the SWIM chip. Perhaps the large gear isn't aligned properly? The metal pin should be pointing away from the motor.

That's not a bad idea actually... It not too much work to swap the heads over...I might try that and see.

Wow that would be annoying... Just market it as 32mb at that point...what the heck can you do with 8mb partition. And I have a dead legend 386 I'd love to revive but it's pretty dead lol

Welcome!! And bummer on losing the 5150s.. and I intend to keep going! Just got the 5160 to get hopefully working

Mainly since it's an IBM and thought it be neat to see it say that on booting to dos... Plus I already had a 6.22 cf card so why not

@@definitelycasualpcs8789 Good idea with CF card...

@RETROMachines yea..I was going to try and use the ide hard drive I put in as a PSU load but...cards make it so much easier. Even tho it's no issue making game floppies, sometimes just easier to swap cards.

@@definitelycasualpcs8789 I understand the reason for the CF card. I use it sometimes. I recently solved the problem of installing SW for MS-DOS. So I did YUM INSTALL... More: ua-cam.com/video/ao3ZQzFrAW8/v-deo.html

Yea CD works....I just...didn't do that at the time. I was going to buy I was just happy to have gotten it to work. Plus I need to go thru it anyway, the dos 3.3 images I used for the 3.5 floppies were for the model 30. Shouldn't matter but still want to make sure there's not special model 30 only things In it to take up space. Once I do that I'll make an extended partition

@@definitelycasualpcs8789 Can`t wait your next video. You asked about dos games that can run on this PC. I have a collection of dos games from 1980 up to 2003. Are you interested? All collection is 32G but there are some doubles (games that were re-released a year or two later). What you can use on this PC are games up to 89, I am correct? Those are 682M unpacked, or around 411M compressed. Or, if you want a specific year?

WOW thats a lot of games lol well i have a set i downloaded (525 dos games) from 81 to 89 Ive been sorting thru to see what runs on what. Im thinking i want teh 5150 to be the early dos stuff around 81/82, the 5160 if it works will be 83/84 and the 5170 to be the 85/88 ish... with the 486 running everything else into the 90s (and a 386 if i can find one). But yea i might be interesting is seeing what all games would be on there to try out, even on some later builds into the pentium and super socket 7 stuff

Yea I only "knew" about the weird thing by seeing someone install dos...2.1 ? To a rll drive. And did this guy sell them for xtide? I remember there being a guy that had a install set for that purpose but I haven't seen his listing in few years.

@@definitelycasualpcs8789 Yeah, that's probably the same guy.

Probably. Shouldve got a set while I had the chance lol. Oh btw ..do you have any clue as to what happened there with planet x3? I'm assuming that wasn't ega mode, but that was way more than 16 colors right? Like that almost looked like 64 colors but I thought that was a cga monitor from a convo we had months back when i did a video on it

@@definitelycasualpcs8789 I'm not sure. are you running the most up-to-date version of PX3 with the added graphics modes? I found this. "EGA Medium Res 640x200x16" "This mode, as you probably guessed, uses the same graphics trick from the Tandy Hi-Res mode, and thus also uses the VGA graphics set with a dithering pattern. EGA mode does require its own executable, which is PX3_EGA" Maybe that's what it was trying to do? use some kind of trick to dither the 16 colors into 64 but it didn't work perfectly with a CGA monitor? I've gotten monitors to do some odd stuff they shouldn't before...probably not good for the monitor.

@AncientElectronics I think mines older....i haven't emailed David about getting the updated version. Iirc I think yea it's 640x200 16...that makes since it uses the tandy mode for it... probably why I thought it looked like VGA but even then I'd assume the whole screen would looked like the game itself. Like it was broken, but the border was still there. When I try the card in full ega even on boot the screen is wonky. I'm wondering if it's the cable? It was just a generic 9 pin serial cable off eBay...could there be something off with that? Like even a single wire not connected?

Same here! Had 2 portable 2s and have 1 portable 1 ready to be restored. Haven't touched the 1 since I know it'll need keyboard work

Thanks! And yea was a weird oddball thing that happened but it's all good now. And yup!!! On the path to it !!

Thanks! And thanks for sticking with me and my improving content these few years

Thanks man! This was such a ride getting to this point. Really needed that good news while laid up lol 😆 but whoot can only grow from here

@definitelycasualpcs8789 yep!! 👍

Might want to take it apart and make sure that battery didn't leak or something. And yea I got asked why I was carrying sewing machines around in the car lol. They pretty close in size

@definitelycasualpcs8789 you lost a key? I am still watching. Man that sucks, I have a cat, and 2 kids, I feel ya

@definitelycasualpcs8789 I was wrong, I'm going to put up on my channel as a short for now, if your not busy and could drop some knowledge in the comments or help me at all that would be cool , apparently it's a Original portal, not a 2 or 3

@ScroogeMcDuckn I have a portable 1 that I need to restore still. I going to order the foam and foil repair kit ahead of time to save headache lol

@ScroogeMcDuckn oh and absolutely share your channel. Id love to watch and help out!!!

I missed out on most PC stuff till about 2001. And even then was mostly on consoles so I'm experiencing things I never got to. Ngl the most fun(and headaches) seem to be the 80s up to the 486 era stuff lol

Dude hell yea!! Like have some over the top reasons there's so many dinos? Cloning machine went nuts... Boss battles being with the trex, spino or carnataurus...heck yea!!

No I just grabbed it. There is a JP based shooter but I grabbed wrong one lol

Hello from US

Never heard of it...might have to look it up and try it sometime

Street fight but with dinos?? Ooo that sounds awesome!!

@definitelycasualpcs8789 yah i looked it up it was called jurassic park warpath on ps1, damn It was like more than 20 years ago.

Primal rage?

Right?? I hate to say it cause it probably wouldn't be up to fans standards but... Turok remake using unreal 5

Oh my God I kinda forgot about the ark series.....lol I knew there was a newer one but I literally could not remember it lol

I tried to be back then. But things happen Plus when I come across PS1 games, they are usually cracked or broken. Or missing art lol

I actually had to look lol. The only lego PS2 games I currently are star wars the video game and Star wars 2 the original trilogy

@@definitelycasualpcs8789 omg thanks!! ❤️

@@protoz651 no problem!!

Yea..that's what I been doing ..just a few don't have their art work and it looks wonky. Not that it bugs me too much but it kinda does to a point

We might be... And that once....games were DONE when you bought them, no dlc, no season pass, no day one patches .. No micro transaction

Not much to do with it being physical games more just that the games required little to no space

Never thought of a 3d printed thing... That could work. I mean at some point...there won't be jewel cases ((I mean by that point most of the og PS1 games might be long dead with disc rot but still))

Oh my God you madman! No one needs that much storage!!! What kind of nefarious things are you storing?? Lol

@@definitelycasualpcs8789 lots and lots of games

We got a 360 about...2012? So I never really noticed the increase in save file sizes. I just remembered rango had a really small one in the kb. Kinda makes me wonder what the first game was to get into the mb

@@definitelycasualpcs8789 I remember when COD modern warefare2 came out with a 5MB save file size & thinking that's a lot, also as big as a ps2 memory card in size

@cryptocsguy9282 i can see that...i vaguely remember mw1 in college and I think that was....1mb? 2? I don't fully remember lol I had the Wii that generation when new

It iiiisssss lol

I have no idea....i didn't catch it while recording, missed it while editing... Didn't realize it until someone mentioned it. My brain just had a moment and said "yep that's the word to use"

Why thank you

Oh god 3 years later...and this still haunts me lol. I don't know i had a weird speech thing where my brain said "Yep thats the right word "

Yep! Thats my little 13x15 basement game room On the other side of the wall (behind the camera) is my now messy computer room. (I showed a bit in the 5170 floppy update video) And yea it was actually a challenge to do...I assumed it be easy so I didn't plan on it taking long.... I think there's nearly 2 hours of footage of me pacing along the wall there deciding games lol

Artwork in the basement? And yea ibm kinda had its one off white color ..hard to find

@@definitelycasualpcs8789 Yea, the figure of the water line. :)

? It's just a loop of line lol Oh god does it make some design I'm not seeing ??

@@definitelycasualpcs8789 No, No. Like a mess of Ethernet wires in a wiring closet is called a Master Piece.

@@idahofur ah lol 😆 yea its...controlled chaos

I honestly don't know the brand... I bought a couple cheap ones at a goodwill for the purpose of cutting up or using for things like this. Its mostly just looking around to find a good size, the rca style has such a variety I've seen older audio only cables that are from stereo systems that are usually short pins though...

Im so confused i could swear i responded to this lol But yea right? Like i didn't have many games back in the day, so i thought this would be a breeze...but heck I had like a stack of nearly 20 games before i realized it lol.
