I am looking to upgrade the internal storage of my Power Mac. How large of a drive can I use?

The Power Mac Storage FAQ - - MacNN Forums
This is easily the number one question pertaining to storage upgrading here at MacNN. And with good reason, as there is no definitive way for the average user to know the limitations of their machine. As with most things, Apple does not include this bit of useful information in the manual. There is essentially a wall that exists when it comes to storage capacity, we'll call it the '128GB Barrier'. The 128GB Barrier is prevalent on pretty much every Macintosh with IDE until 2002.

How do I format a Mac hard drive?

Herb's Mac Stuff FAQ
Check question number 6 about startup disks; most people need these because of hard disk problems. Apple provides an "erase disk" option on their main menu which will re-initialize some but not all hard drives. Apple also has a "disk test" utility to test formatted disks. There is also a popular control panel add on for "SCSI probe" which is helpful, check various Mac shareware sites for it.

How much power will it take to drive the woofers?

Frequently Asked Questions
Not much. At Fs it takes maybe around 5 W to drive a 12" unit to full excursion in free air. It takes just a little bit more in the open baffle cabinet because of the air mass loading. More power is needed as frequency goes up. I have found - by monitoring the p-p voltage across the woofer terminals - that each woofer channel is easily served by a 50 W amplifier.

How do I move files from my old Mac, or my old Mac external SCSI drive, to my new Mac?

Herb's Mac Stuff FAQ
If you have your files on an old Mac with a SCSI drive internal or external; and your new Mac does not have a SCSI external connector or use SCSI drives internally, what can you do? I'll discuss many options. My GENERAL advice is as follows. EITHER use some kind of Mac which HAS SCSI to read your drive, and use it to transfer files either by connection or by transfer to another media (floppy, CD, ZIP disk). OR, you add some kind of SCSI hardware to your new Mac to read the drive.

Why do I need a telephone adapter? Can't Phlink use my Mac's internal modem?

Ovolab - Phlink - FAQ
Unfortunately not. The Mac's internal modem does not support voice nor caller ID functionality, therefore a telephone adapter device is required. The telephone adapter requires a plain analog telephone line (POTS or PSTN). Many telephone companies, however, also provide an analog interface to customers with ISDN lines, through what is called a Terminal Adapter. If you have a terminal adapter, you can use the Phlink Telephone Adapter on your ISDN line by connecting it to its analog port.

Issue 3: Can I upgrade the storage space / hard drive in my Home Media Centre?

FAQ Table
Solution: While the Home Media Centre can have its storage space upgraded, this is limited by 2 factors. Firstly, the HMC can only fit one hard drive internally. This means that the amount of storage an HMC can hold is limited by the size of the largest single hard drive available at any given time. At the time of writing this is 400 Gb. Secondly, upgrading your storage space yourself will void the warranty on your HMC.

Which emulation should I use (Mac Plus, Mac 128K, Mac SE)?

Mini vMac FAQ
Which version to use depends on what ROM image you have. If you have all of them then the Mac Plus emulation is probably preferable. There are few detectable differences in the Mac SE emulation, and it’s not as well tested. The Mac 128K emulation can run some very early software that won’t run on a Mac Plus, but a lot of software that works on the Mac Plus won’t work on a Mac 128K (and only 128K of memory is very limiting).

Q39 - How much power does it take to drive a dipole woofer?

Frequently Asked Questions
A39 - It is often assumed that excessive amounts of power are required to drive a dipole woofer, because of the necessary 6 dB/oct acoustic roll-off equalization and additional boost required for drivers with Qts below 0.5. In fact, equalization does not change the power requirement. It is a driver's cone excursion for generating a desired SPL which determines how much output voltage and current an amplifier must be able to provide.

What kind of memory can I use on my Mac?

Herb's Mac Stuff FAQ
Mac computers and printers use a variety of memory, which is called "SIMMS" or "DIMMS" or "VRAM". Most of my memory is sold from a Mac Memory Web page. I provide some descriptions there of memory for most of the systems I sell, but not for the printers. For printers you'll probably have to look at Apple's manual or an Apple document. While I try to identify issues and problems when I can, it is up to YOU the customer to determine what memory and how much memory you need.
