...unless you are using a decent PowerMac, a CF card will not hamper you much. Click to expand... I don't want to be hampered at all. Indeed, I want a speed boost for reads an…

I suppose the SCSI bus is hindered by age, and by a dog-slow system bus. Click to expand... Very much so. These are not SE/30s and not SCSI but you get the idea. http://poopr.…

I pulled out my power supply to clean it up a bit underneath, and I decided I would try to add an 80 conductor cable to my G3. However, I found that the connector is slightly diffe…
