some brief comments on today's edition of both MacNN and iMac2day (2/10).

I recently purchased a SyQuest SKYDATA 200MB 5.25" SCSI drive from a graphics company that was blowing out its stock so it could upgrade to newer Mac systems. My problem is that I…

Hello, I wonder is there any place I can buy a 7"NuBus A/V card for my PowerMac 6100/60? Thank you

Well, subject pretty much says it all. Does anyone have experience with putting a Mac in a new case? I have a 7300 that I'd like to put into a big tower so that I can add more driv…

My VST 6Gb drive is not hot swappable, and causes finder quits at startup. Anyone using these drives with success in OS 8.6?

The conflict appears to be with my SCSI card software. By disabling the 2906 extension, the FireDrive works as predicted. Any suggestions?

Turns out that backing up to my CD-R is now prohibited from the Firewire Drive. Anyone have any guesses as to why this might be (aside from me needing the 2906 extension?)

Has anyone been able to sync using the iMac IrDA with PDAs? I have a TI Avigo and only have Windoze software. Therefore, I will need to sync through Virtual PC. Looking for some…
