I do love having a full complement of matching translucent blue accessories (SuperDisk, PD/DVD-RAM drive, FireWire webcam shaped kinda like Orbb from QuakeⅢ with a human-foot-shaped metal stand, etc) to use with my “Blue & White” G3 tower (PowerMac1,1), so it worked on me! :) Nine 2004-era comments now purged from Microsoft's current site: https://web.archive.org/web/20210125145431/http://bytepointer.com/resources/old_new_thing/20040409_135_a_story_about_usb_floppy_drives.htm https://web.archive.org/web/20210125145431/http://bytepointe...

What OS are you running on that B&W? I have Mac OS X Server 1.23 on mine, basically Rhapsody and basically OPENSTEP.

  Same here actually! https://cooltrainer.org/images/original/michiru-rhapsody-20130909.png https://cooltrainer.org/images/original/michiru-rhapsody-201... I love it as a bridge machine — New World but with ADB and an oldschool serial port (from GeeThree, replacing the built-in modem). I use it as a jack of all trades and have partitions to boot 8.6, 9.2, MOSXS 1.2, Tiger, Leopard (mine has a G4).

>I’m working on a USB-powered microwave oven. >This USB grill is joke, right ? I mean how much power can you draw from USB port (500mA at 5V = 2.5 Watt) ? Maybe it’s for cooking mini-burgers for the anorexic geeks. Did anyone try a USB grill yet? https://www.amazon.com/Gourmia-GBQ330-Portable-Charcoal-Electric/dp/B01M1SA83B/ref=cm_cr_srp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8 https://www.amazon.com/Gourmia-GBQ330-Portable-Charcoal-Elec...

  Sounds like electronics are just for fans and maybe ignition? Sounds plausible. But there were indeed some true attempts to cook with USB power alone.[1] [1] https://hackaday.com/2022/12/01/throwback-usb-hotplate-used-30-whole-ports/ https://hackaday.com/2022/12/01/throwback-usb-hotplate-used-...

  Saw a little USB hot plate at a friends superb owl party last night. Did a good job keeping a bowl of cheese dip warm. Doubles as a wireless charger too.
