"John, what SSD did you use? Does it have TRIM support in the firmware, or are you just going to run it as is (in the SCSI adapter).
I used an OWC SSD with SandForce controller for my QuickSilver2002 as 10.5.8 does not have TRIM support."

512K M0001WP Macintosh welcomed to the family
Picked up a 512K Mac this weekend, came with extended keyboard, mouse, and external FDD, but no software.
There was a floppy stuck in the external drive, and I had to open up the case and degunk the lubricant to free up the release mechanism, but unfortunately the disk was not bootable (the label says it's an excel data disk).
Is there any way I can get hold of systems/software disks for my 512K? My PBDuo230 won't power up, so I can't download an "archive" copy of… Continue

Old Printers can be a pain
Back in my previous blog entry I mentioned I'd picked up up an Apple LaserWriter 16/600, well finally got to adding it to my network to use. The printer came with an ethernet adaptor, so no problems putting it on the network, but with no console on the printer, how was I to route output to it.
Fortunately with OS 9.22 on my Bondi Blue iMac I was able to find the printer via the local AppeTalk (printer was called "loaner"), but I wanted to be able to print to it from my main machines,… Continue
