At one time, NASA had more Macintoshes than PC's, some of which were configured by me (Macintosh IIfx, fully loaded with RAM -128 MB - and hard drive space) Pretty expensive when RAM was $500 MB. I recently came across one, with my sign-off still inside, at a flea market for $10. I can't get YouTube sharing to work right now, but search for "mac disk eject in space" for a fun video. Takes place on SkyLab, IIRC. |

I said no and I've not seen any do it. The standard floppy mechanism shouldn't do that, under standard gravity, unless something was broken. I do vaguely recall one aftermarket manufacturer of external floppy drives used to shoot them out pretty good. |

I do vaguely recall one aftermarket manufacturer of external floppy drives used to shoot them out pretty good. imacs never had an internal floppy drive, nor did they need one. depending on the imac, there was a cd or dvd drive, either tray load or slot load. an 'early lcd screen imac' would be the lamp, which had a tray load and therefore could not eject a disc onto the table. the following model was a similar design to today's imac, but white. it had a slot load drive, but did not push a disc out far enough that it would fall, plus the wipe foam would hold it in place. |

Quite true; some of us remember the very first iMac and the furor over the lack of a floppy drive. However (GRIN) I've been generous and assumed he was thinking of the Mac Portable or some early PowerBooks, which had an LCD AND power eject floppies. |

Quite true; some of us remember the very first iMac and the furor over the lack of a floppy drive. the only furor was from ignorant users who couldn't imagine a world without floppies, mostly from people who had no plans to actually buy an imac but just wanted to bash. by the time the first imac came out in 1998, floppy use had dropped dramatically. software was mainly distributed on cd or downloaded from the internet, causing one of the two remaining floppy manufacturers to shut down due to insufficient demand. most people don't realize that the first mac without a floppy drive was actually 6 years prior. very few people found it to be a problem and almost nobody complained at all, because it didn't matter. However (GRIN) I've been generous and assumed he was thinking of the Mac Portable or some early PowerBooks, which had an LCD AND power eject floppies. macs with floppy drives had both power eject *and* power inject, up until the early 90s when apple sadly removed the auto-inject mechanisms. pcs didn't have either. they were all ****ty manual inject/eject. |
