Buddy, can you spare a mouse for a Mac Plus?

Well, I've tried to make the topic as descriptive as possible. I've got a Mac Plus and need to get an old document from its innards, but I have lost the mouse. Does anyone know where I can find one for sale in the UK, so that I can get my hands on it as soon as possible? Or maybe maybe maybe someone can lend me one for a day?
Thanks very much for your advice and assistance.
Best wishes to all, George

Jim-
there is a reference to the HD20 on that site, here:
http://www.vintagemacworld.com/hd20.html
but alas, no pictures.
Based on the torturous Startup sequence described in that article, I don't think George has an HD20.
>"It is my understanding that such hard drives are configured to work with a Mac Plus alone; their configuration is such that their contents couldn't be accessed by a more recent Mac."The Mac Plus required that you use a special format that put the next-numbered sector staggered every third sector around the disk. If you did not, the Plus was so slow it would miss the next-numbered sector if they were sequentially numbered, and still miss if they were every-other. The drive would have to endure an entire revolution of the disk to read the next sector.
If you missed the data at 3600 RPM = 60 spins/sec, or .016+ seconds, or 16.7 milliseconds additional per sector.
But the point is that that format is compatible and can be read just fine by SCSI-equipped Macs.

    Sure, that is trivial setup.. they both have different names and IP addresses.
    You should be able to use ReadyNas for TM backup but you should check the latest state of play for that.

  • Where can I get a mouse for Mac OS 9? New ones say they're for Mac OS X.

    Any one know where I can get a new mouse for OS 9? the ones at the store all say you need 10.4...This computer does have a manually install USB port, anyone know what will work or where to get one?

    Hi, Jake -
    Often one button on a multi-button mouse will be recognized as a default mouse button and be usable before the mouse software has loaded.
    Regarding mouse software, my experience has been that Microsoft, Logitech, and Kensington mouses are usually okay from a hardware perspective, but that their software falls a bit short, especially with regard to scroll wheels.
    I use Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer mouses with my G4s running OS 9 (I've also tried both Kensington and Logitech mouses, but prefer the shape and feel of the MS ones).
    However, instead of installing the MS software that came with them, I use USB Overdrive - it makes all of the mouse features smoothly available including all five buttons and the scrollwheel, yet needs no extra extensions in order to do that - just a control panel (it does install a couple of extra extensions, but these can be disabled when using a mouse). One of the features of USBOD I especially like is that you can have different functions set for each of the buttons in different programs, and the mouse behavior changes automatically to the set for the active program, on the fly.

    Can you have multiple users for one account? if so how do you set it up.
    We are using it for our department and it would be great to see who created what form instead of it being all one name.

    Each person should have their own account. You can easily share the forms with other people in your department. You will be able to see who the author of the form is.

  • Can you share some links for SCM & MFG on Fusion ?

    Can you share some links for SCM & MFG on Fusion ?

    I was under the impression that having a journal would be safer, not just for the boot drive. Any volume that is not properly unmounted before removed (or the couputer is turned off) might be left in an incomplete save state, since data might have been saved to buffers only, not to the disk proper.
    To me safer would be better. Apple has added journaling to HFS+ which is good, and there are several journaling file systems for Linux. Nothing in common. Not even with Windows. I guess I will have to use HFS+ with the journal turned off, but it seems suboptimal to me.

    Although letting the player do the job may be the easier way, you might want to explore the use of a free program named InfoEdit that was brought up in a 2010 thread here.

    Can you build a battery for iphone that will last till the end of the day?

    No, I can't. I've never taken any classes in either electrical or chemical engineering.
    While you're looking for someone who can, you may want to try searching the forums for the many other threads that give tips on extending your battery life (things like turning off Background Refresh). You may also want to look at battery cases such as those made by Mophie.
    Best of luck.
