Hi, You should check which revision of beige G3 you've got as the early ones do not support slave drives. I wanted to add a slave drive myself but cannot because of this situation…

Has anyone successfully used 64-mb SIMMs in an 8100? Apple rates it to use up to 32-mb (only), but I read somewhere 64's work in 6100s (also rated by Apple for 32's max).

Hey, I've had my order in at ecost.com for over a couple of weeks now, ever since this scanner started getting rave reviews from the Mac community. Needless to say, I haven't recei…

I ordered a 636U from outpost.com 3 weeks ago, because they said I would have it in 2-3 days. Yesterday I cancelled the order and bought a 1200U at CompUSA. It cost me a little mor…

Maine also took about a month, but now that I have it, I wrote the following (mostly-derogatory) review of it. Caveat Emptor. The 636U would be an excellent buy if not for its ho…

Since Apple have choosen DVD-RAM as their writable DVD storage it would be nice to know which DVD-ROM drives can read such disks. While searching for this information I got several…

Does it make any sense to expect I'll be able to drive a digital LCD monitor from the Firewire ports on my blue G3? Or do I need to wait for the appearance of ADP slots or ports on…

It will not be possible to connect your Digital Flat panel to a firewire port until the flat panel has hardware to interface with Firewire as well as the software required to decod…

Why wait? <a href="http://www.formac.com/">Formac</a> makes a mac compatable PCI video card which can support both VESA and SGI TFT's. It is called the <a href="ht…

i doubt it. any time you take a picture outdoors, your camera picks up ultraviolet light. just be sure to wear goggles while using the camera. -r.

I was planning on using my camera to take some pictures of arc welding in action. Of course, the arc emits many ultraviolet rays, which can damage the retinas of people in the room…

<-------- this dude is too drunk to be posting It would probably be the UV requivalent of pointing the camera directly at the sun. And I would probably use the LCD, not the…

If your camera permits, try a combo UV /polarizing filter. Anti-glare AND UV protection, Camera shop should help you with that one. Of course, it depends on what kind of camera you…

just for the record, a UV filter won't prevent damage to your camera (since UV won't damage your camera), but it will ensure that the image you see isn't skewed because of the UV l…

I would like to edit VHS footage and then be able to export it back to tape. (For some extremely-low-budget film projects of mine I would prefer to be able to do it on my Rev. A …

NEC makes a clik!-usb drive. A friend of mine has one and he uses the IomegaWare software for Windows98 to access it. "USB Iomega Driver" software for Macintosh does not support …

NEC clik!-usb now works. I installed the USB Mass Storage Support 1.3.5 from Apple, and now I have a USB clik! drive for the Macintosh. Cons - DOS formated disk, unable to reform…

To format a DOS disk as HFS or HFS+, disable File Exchange or PC Exchange (depending on what OS version). Then when you mount the disk it will pop up with the "This disk in not in…

On the New iMacDV, Apple says that you can connect a device to one of the firewire ports and capture analog video from a VCR. They said it was called the Sony DV-AV1. I've looked…

Its called a Sony DVMC-DA1 and it converts analog signal to digital signal (firewire) on the fly. There is actually a newer model too, its the DVMC-MS1. I have the MS1, and it wo…

I have the DVMC-DA1. I paid $371.74 before TAX from Troxell Communications - 272-0440, but I work for an education so this might be and education only price. http://www.sel.sony.co…
