Thanks but I just discovered that hdi-20 connector is for floppy only. And hdi-30 is SCSI. I don't think I can do it, because the pins are very diffrent.

Hi I recently got an external hdi-20 floppy for my 145b. When I got it I realized that there was no port for it. I couldn't find any adaptors for the hdi-20 floppy to plug in an hdi-30 port, so I decided to make my own by bridging wires with headers It's going to be bulky but it will do up until...

I thought of that but my iMac G4 is one of the newer version that can boot into leopard but not into OS 9

But on another mac running os9 it detected the drive. I want to use disk copy because if I just mount the images and drag and drop them to the disk it says there is not enough space.

Want to copy over some .img files to floppy disks. But when I try opening Disk Copy 4.2 it gives me this error even though I have my USB floppy drive connected. Any tips?

After resoldering the pins it worked

Upon a closer inspection I found out that when I was removing the display connector I accidentally ripped off this part. The good news is that it doesn't look too bad and I will be giving the board to a friend to micro resolder the pins.

It was fine before I dissembled it and moving the arm has no affect. I remember it was really hard to pull out the display cable so when I was reassembling I didn't place plastic thing that covert it. Could that be the problem?

Recently got it, after I fully disassembled it to clean it, it started giving me this red tinted screen. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Trying to install system 7.5 from 7 floppys on my powerbook 145b but when I click install (from disk 1) I need to put disk 2 then disk 3 and after that disk 4 and again disk 1 and then it gives me this error. Any way to fix it?

For me it works

A USB floppy does work on os 9 but it almost amediatlly ejects it

Thank you so much for the model!! Do you have discord?

Oh so you meant USB drives. I found AliExpress an adapter for a standard ide drive to USB maybe I can buy one of those. Do you have the file for the floppy drive door?

I have two laying around, the black one is an NEC and the other one is really rusty and has no label. I think I have more drives some where.

Thankfully my G4 came with a PCIe card that has a tone of usb ports on the outside and one on the inside. Sadly I couldn't find a bracket for a nonmirror drive door g4 to print

Hopefully there is a 3D model of a nonmirror drive door g4. Can't I just use regular old internal floppy drive from a PC and get an IDE to floppy IDE adapter or floppy drives need specificly to be flashed for mac kinda like the gpus?

Thats the problem, I'm sick of using an external one. So is it possible to install a 1.44MB drive?

It's a 768MHz model I think, runing macos 9.2
