  1. Current mission, recycle, repurpose or recoil! That iMac has a glitchy screen, Logic/MBoard issue? There's maybe a slim chance I could install and run minimal Debian on it for 'something'. Yes, that's a MKI AppleTV you can see. Three laptops and misc hard drives (even an IDE).

  6. FireZip 250: The Zip Drive Iomega Wouldn’t Make

    Now, I’m not exactly what you would call a retro hardware enthusiast, but even I knew Iomega never made a FireWire ZIP drive.

  11. I'll probably never own a drive to read those, but these are some very impressive floppy disk cartridges. Also, 20 megs in 1984 - that's more than a typical hard disk had at that time. 😲

  16. Ok, nix explodiert und das Laufwerk meldet "ready", wenn die Disk eingelegt ist. 🙂 Richtig testen kann ich erst später, wenn das Laufwerk wieder in einem externen SCSI-Gehäuse verbaut ist und ich einen Mac mit SCSI aufgebaut habe.

  18. Zur Abwechselung etwas #SCSI-Zeugs: zwei 4/8 GB DAT-Streamer, der linke vom Design her definitiv für alte Macs gedacht.

    Ein 150 MB #IOMEGA #Bernoulli-Laufwerk. Gehäuse ist leider aus Plastik und an etlichen Stellen gebrochen. Laufwerk scheint, zumindest mechanisch, aber ok zu sein.

    Und noch ein schöner SCSI-Tower. 🥳

  20. … I have seen things you wouldn’t believe …

    … ribbon cables for hard drives… Master/Slave #SCSI termination… (mind screams in rebellion)… the little switch boxes to hook your original #Nintendo console or #VIC20 to a TV and then get headaches from staring at the TV CRT too closely…. a VIC-20 cassette drive with a box of about 150+ unlabeled tapes… painstakingly typed in from the listings in #BYTE magazines… Taking low-density 3.5″ floppies, and drilling/punching a hole through to double your storage and make them “high-density”…. the squeal of a modem (and trying to get the #IRQ conflicts resolved via changing jumper switches)… attempting to connect to #Datapac to try and reach unknown systems, running a #BBS inside a #DOS box, on #386(SX) #Windows 3.0 machine, Setting up your own #UUCP #internet over #dialup

    All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain…

  25. iOmega JAZ. Жёсткие диски со сменными блинами

    Приветствую всех! Думаю, даже для далёких от темы компьютеров хорошо известно, что вскрытие обычного жёсткого диска приведёт к стопроцентной его порче. Но, как оказалось, для некоторых носителей есть исключения. Более того, существовали не просто негерметичные HDD, а такие, для которых извлечение блинов и повторная их установка были штатной операцией. Как же такое было возможно? Давайте разбираться. Итак, в сегодняшней статье поговорим про iOmega JAZ, поистине интересный накопитель, совмещающий в себе свойства сразу нескольких компьютерных носителей. Узнаем, как устроены и как работают такие девайсы. Традиционно будет много интересного.

  26. iOmega ZIP. Уже не дискеты, но ещё не HDD

    Приветствую всех! Казалось бы, о накопителях iOmega ZIP не писал только ленивый. Даже здесь, на Хабре было несколько статей, посвящённых этому во всех смыслах неоднозначному формату. Но вот в мои руки тоже попал такой привод, и я подумал: а что бы не затронуть и эту технологию? Тем более, что мне есть, что добавить к предыдущим обзорам. Итак, в сегодняшней статье поговорим об iOmega ZIP — носителе информации, совмещавшем в себе недостатки как дискет, так и жёстких дисков. Узнаем, как устроены и работают такие устройства и посмотрим, что они могут. Традиционно будет много интересного.

  27. От перфокарт в облако. Где вы хранили файлы десятилетие назад?

    В годы моей бурной юности в ходу были пятидюймовые дискеты. Их и вправду можно было назвать “floppy”, то есть, гибкими — футляр из плотного коленкора довольно легко сгибался, пробивался степлером и даже с некоторым усилием сворачивался в трубку. Перфокарты я тоже застал — родители иногда приносили их домой из вычислительного центра, в котором работали, и маленький я рисовал на этих забавных карточках с напечатанными типографским способом рядами цифр (и совой, сова с надписью «КАНГАС» почему-то накрепко засела в памяти) короткими фломастерами от плоттеров-графопостроителей, которые в ассортименте добывались там же, в ВЦ. Сейчас, используя многогигабайтовое облако, смешно вспоминать эту бумажную карточку емкостью 80 байт. Зато можно сказать, что эволюцию носителей информации от перфокарт к облаку я увидел собственными глазами.
