    Re: Out of space. Upgrade tips needed.

    Well I meant for the connection to the hard drive but by the looks of it, I could only use 50 pin drives. No thanks. Too slow for me.

        I keep on forgetting if SCSI 2 was 50 or 68 pin though.
        It was 50 pin: you'd have to buy some 68 -> 50 pin adapters and I don't think there is enough space inside this enclosure. If you plan using 50 pin drives then you can use up to 9 GB drives, so this option isn't much useful too.
        In short: don't buy it unless you've an old 486 hanging around.

            It's 2025: do you know where your 5¼" floppy drives are?
            by eccerr0r
            Oh wow.

            As in the other thread I was trying to revive/re-bootstrap an old Apple IIe and wasn't successful reading or writing any disk. Both drives behave similarly.

            Then I was wondering, what about my PC floppy drives? I have a HH 5¼" HD drive and a combo 5¼+3½ drive. I tried formatting the disk that wouldn't work in the Apple and it didn't work in the PC either!

            Then I tried a HD 5.25 disk ... it won't even touch the disk either! Just like the Apple DD disk, "Not Ready!"

            Weird. Seems the PC drive is having trouble clamping...

            Modification of a Fluke multi meter that uses three AA batteries to use a 14500 lithium ion battery
            by sam_sam_sam
            I have had with regular AA batteries that leak this meter is expensive new I already replaced the battery battery clips once and the same thing happened again and I am tried of so it is getting modified to accommodate lithium ion batteries that are the same size excluding the positive terminal and removing the battery clips I will have enough room for the BMS protection board

            failing hard drives after sitting for years...
            by eccerr0r
            With the discussion about water pumps failing when cars sit for a while, I wonder what people have seen with hard drives. Do people see hard drives failing after being sat on the shelf for a long time unpowered versus a hard drive that's at least powered up at least once in a while, say, weekly?

            Wonder if it's worth spinning up the spare spinners once in a while to keep the bearings lubricated?

            Wonder how I should best keep my cold spares for my RAID "fresh" for eventual failures of the working drives. Was thinking about keeping a hot spare but that's another...
